ChrisGFX, joberg, crackerjazz: Thank you!
jawsmodels: Thank you! BTW – I’ll give the profiles to you. I’ve learned so much on this forum and would like to ‘pay it forward’, so to speak.
Kyuzo: Thank you – glad to hear you’re into photogrammetry. One tool of many…
Qrest Fourstar: Thanks – glad you found it!
SteveStarkiller: Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I have extracted frames from video/film footage. It’s something we do here at the studio a lot for VFX work. I find, however, that at the stage I’m at now – I’m within an 1/8 “ or smaller on many of my dimensions and the high resolution stills provide the detail required to discern subtle detail, edges, form breaks etc.
That said, I’ll even digitize a shot from the film to help me establish and/or confirm shape relationships.
For example, the 6” diameter radar dish and base:

(BTW - very close with the overall proposed blueprints, just finishing up the rear engine landing gear box structure – thanks for the patience.)
