Yeah, you gotta be careful what you're doing when it comes to other peoples photos. But usually, for reference, it's not that big a deal. People won't generally sue you for modeling a car that they took a photo of.

And as far as posting the links here, I think the biggest issue would be bandwidth useage. Of course you would have to post the link to the image, not the image itself linked from the original website.

But other than that, I don't see a problem with it. But Kevin or Dave might want to chime in on this one. After all, they run the site, so ultimately it's up to them.

Hmmm... Where did that blueprints thread go? user added image
