Looking for someone to "rhino" draw this car

Looking for someone who can draw/cad the 007 james bond 76 lotus esprit "wet nellie" submersible.

I can send someone the die cast model to work off of. Laser digitizing is not an option due the shiny painted surfaces. I refuse to paint it a dull color since its a hard to find and expensive die cast. I need this drawn in rhino and scaled up to about 32 inches in length so that i can make a mold and make a fiberglass body so that i can R/C it.
There are flaws in the model as well that need correction. mainly its just location errors like the periscope. Additionally i have some changes that need to be done as well..
If anyone is interested in helping they can email me at davet@insightbb.com , also you can follow my build thread here at SubPirates.com - View topic - 007 "Wet Nellie" Lotus Esprit

Your RC project is really a nice one. I didn't manage to understood what will be the use of a 3D model of that car for you.

I doubt you'll find someone having enough skills, motivation and free time to do it for you. What about trying to learn Rhino (or any other CG software you have access to) to do it by yourself ? Depending on the level of accuracy you're aiming for, it's a very reachable goal, as the shapes of the car are pretty simple.

i do in fact have rhino 3 and have been learning and using it if you read thru my build thread and saw all the pics... but i dont know it well enough to do an accurate reproduction of a car.

and to explain why i need it in rhino is simple... rhino can export in many file formats, many of which can directly be used on a 3 axis or 5 axis mill to machine out a plug. From the plug a mold can be made, from the mold a part can be made...

from some of the examples in this forum there should be a few people here it seems with the skill to do it. This should be about 35 hours work according to another rhino user who could do it but not for several more months as he is swamped with work right now....

again, if anyone interested could contact me that would be fantastic... thanks!

I could scan your model easily. Shiny surfaces is not a problem at all
