Thanks for the comment! I read the tutorial on the TT and thought I'd try out the patch technique. Only just 'progressed' from box modelling. I just gotta get my head around nurbs now, hmm, where did all my sleep go??

BTY - noticed a few threads on the problems with 'white' blueprints. Here's a technique that works for me. This darkens the white areas without compromising the outline integrity.

Using Photoshop (similar packages will also do this i think), open the image and select the whole image. Copy it and paste it onto a new layer (making sure they line up!). Under the layer tab, select 'exclusion' from the drop down list and set the trasparency to about 15%. Flatten the image and save it as a JPG.
