Hmm, some drawings, and specs here, I suppose you could read dimensions back from a scale given teh overall length

Actually, that's how my friend did his plans. He got a large scale technical drawing from somewhere, (it might have been a book of some sort, possibly the one that's open on the desk in the pictures) and measured the picture, then, based on the measurements he did know, and using ratios, he figured out the rest of the dimensions.

yeah I took a semester of tech drawking but dropped out before the next quarter do to the horrible teaching. Its very tidious to do all the scaling and centering, and line thickness and darkness.

I added new pics to the photo album I posted (http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse. ... ted=740922 ), but I still haven't gotten my hands on it, so no rough measurements yet. We haven't really filmed much yet, but we did do a basic greenscreen shot, essentially of one of my friends talking to himself. It worked out good, but we need to clean it up a little (there's some spill over from the green screen around the edges, particularly their hands, and the audio gets bad in some parts)

Nice job. It is very intricate and well detailed. Kudos to you.

The spill-over is caused by the picture quality of the footage recorded. So actually, the higher the pixel count of your camcorder, the less spill-over will be obvious. That is why broadcast studios never have evident green/blue outlines around their weather telecasters. But those cameras are quite expensive, unfortunately. Consumer camcorders are typically somewhat compressed as well, which doesn't really help the situation either.
