As a kid on my Atari 600 XL I realized by myself that I could buy graph paper / grid paper / coordinate paper at a shop near my house and came up with the idea to use a "glass" table (a table where the top is made of glass) and a lamp underneath the table, to then note the coordinates of the Porsche 959. I took a picture from a 959 from one of the car magazine I found and meticulously wrote down the coordinates of the most important lines of the car so that I could then encode the coords on the Atari 600 XL.
I kept this graph paper with the 959 for a super long time and I'm so sad I eventually threw it away.
I'd do this kind of things while I was on vacation, far from my computer.
