You know what I'm talking about. It's been around for several years at least. The guy has a site up with blueprints for a lot of cars and numerous other types of vehicles. If anyone can find me that link, I'd kiss ya (or promise not to). Deep

YOU RULE! (Tevon), That's the one (I knew I wouldn't need to say much more than I did and people would know which one I meant). I actually had it bookmarked (Maybe still do) but I have so many bookmarks now I about can't find my way through them all. I did serach all my obvious sub catagories and still couldn't find it. Thanks loads! Deep

And if you need to find blueprints for American cars, you could always hunt around this place. Might have to register, but it's free.

Your friendly neighborhood Wings3D nut.
Also feel free to browse my freebies at ShareCG.
There might be something worth downloading.

Now if only I could find nice blueprints for buildings...

I've tried searching for blueprints and plans of buildings but have generally gone round in circles searching for free ones. "FREE! FREE House plans!!!" Only to get to the site and find that if I pay $$$$$ I can have my free house plans. :S

I've had better luck using elevation or elevations as a keyword - these are how the building looks from the outside and are easier to translate into a 3D model. Historic buildings and information on restoration seem to give the best results. There are some interesting elevations at the Library of Congress; I particularly like the bungalows and the saltbox houses.

Some of the projects at This Old House have elevations as well as plans - they're small though. There are also picture and 360 tours of certain homes.

A local historical society, local government/planning/archival department or library service may be a useful resource too if you can get access. (Possibly not if you're wanting to make something exotic though.)

Maybe try some architecture/building/CAD forums too if you can track them down. Good luck!

**[Built in America Historic American Buildings Survey-Historic American Engineering Record, 1933-Present](http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/hhhtml/hhhome.html)**

The photos and elevations on the Library of Congress site are from the above site. Not everything has been digitised but don't let that put you off as it's well worth a look. Wouldn't have found this if you hadn't mentioned blueprints for buildings, nomuse, and renewed my interest in finding a decent resource. Thanks. :)

**[Architecture and Interior Design for 20th Century America](http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gschtml/gotthome.html)**

And this one looks good too. Both "Architecture and Interior Design for 20th Century America" and "Built in America Historic American Buildings Survey-Historic American Engineering Record, 1933-Present" are part of American Memory and there's a staggering amount of reference material in the various collections.
