Anyone got any birds-eye/shell views of 4 door saloons?
Hi,
Strange request here, I wondered if anyone had any top-down birds-eye photographs of a 4 door 1000, with the camera focused around about the very centre of the top of the roof.
Reason I'm asking is I'm attempting to make a 3d model of a Minor, but the only top down view I've found so far is an engineering design, and it's not quite right, there are bits missing from it which makes the shape of the car change somewhat (also a photograph will have depth to it, which would be handy)
I did try taking a top-down pic of a toy, but unfortunately I've mislaid my camera somewhere, so had to use the in-built camera on my phone, and the result was a nice blob of pixels
I can take side,front and rear pics of my own car but no way to get a top-down view suitable for modeling, though if you're feeling generous and want to post these views along with a top-down view....
Thanks,
Chief

as Rob says, a picture from the top pointing down.
A picture of a 2-door would probably be fine if anyone has one.

This must be possible.
Perhaps
1- Park car nearly under a bridge with an accomplice to lean out and take the picture.
2- an arrangement of ladders and planks and a time delay on the camera?
3 - Park under a tree and climb up the tree
4 - Some one with a car roller
5 - Microlight club request
6 - Wires and pulleys
7 - park under an aerial zip line
8 - camera on a long pole at a fixed angle
9 - park the car inside a barn or warehouse
10 - hot air balloon
11 Cherry picker at a hire shop
12 two scaffold towers and a board
It must be possible I just don't have a Morris 1000!

This message board is like a family - you can't choose the other members!! But remember engine oil is thicker than water.
Yes please, that would be great thanksil take a photo on tuesday at work (second story lab above the car park)
do you want it directly from above?
hehe, I see we both had the same toy car Much clearer than mine came out as (still can't find my camera anywhere!) and yes it does help so thanks alsobut does this help?
Edit: Found the camera, then the usb socket fell off my wifi-card, which is now held in place with an elastic band to my pc case - isn't it all fun and games?

The resolution would be too bad, except for places where you can zoom to street level and then you'd need to know precisely where a morris minor would always be parked, because of google earth always being out of date.
To continue this thread, anyone got any pictures of just the shell of a minor from various viewpoints (side, rear, front,top, 3/4 view etc) because I just can't get the shape right - it's currently looking like some form of muatant A35 meets minor
