Great Job so far!
I've been working on this one myself as it's probably my favorite SF creation of all time. Yeah it's all curves and contour isn't it ?! A huge challange and you've done a great job. I'm just starting out with this 3D modeling thing I'm actually using Sketchup to do the rough mesh and then importing it to perhaps Blender.
I've scanned a few images from my archives that may be of some use to you. Some are Drafting drawings that Al Nazoki did for the film as well as some top, rear and sid e photos of one of the original models. I got these from a 25th anniversary special issue of a magazine called "SPFX" published in 1977. Also a special issue of Cinfantastique Vol 5. No. 4 (1977) had some great production photos too. If you want me to send them to you via e-mail or something let me know. Also I'm actually building a studio scale minature too ! It's about 2 1/2 wide if you can believe it!
