                        Is that the Canadian Lynx you are trying to build?

                        If so then I have a 4 view line drawing set that I can e-mail to you if you send me your e-mail address.

                        Here's some idea's I use in engineering..

                        I take the side view, then rotate the top view so its perpendicular to the side view. Then draw lines from the top and side. After a while, the front view will appear from the intersecting lines. It also helps to have some photographs for some dead reckoning/reference.

                        Hey fellow tread heads: I'm scratchbuilding a M113 Lynx from specification drawings. All I have are a right side profile and the corresponding top view in 1/35. Both drawings are at 90 degrees to each other so I can take the measurements right off the sheet. However at the front of the vehicle and on each side there is a portion of the armour that angles down and away from the center line. How do I measure or change the drawing to give me a true representation of the shape that I need, to cut, and to give me the actual fit on the vehicle? I know this isn't much of an explaination of what I need but hopefully someone out there knows what I'm talking about.
