Hi LM,

I'm newb, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I think a really cool option would be to import the image in moi and trace the front view with curves (control points or through points, or even sketch if you have a tablet and have drawing skills). Then, extrude to it's width and then boolean subtract and fillet accordingly.

Another option would be to draw multiple curves at different heights of the object (like a heightmap) and then loft them all to get the basic shapes. This is a nice approach if you have several photos from the basic directions so you can tweak the curves accordingly. Samardac does it here to get the basic shape of a helicopter's body: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XMI6mJ2iV0&t=2262s

That's what I came up with, I am sure others with more experience will have more to say. Good luck!
