pretty cool Alan...did you use the autodesk photofly?...I played around with it a while back....rushed thru too quick to get anything decent out of it..yours looks pretty good...once you have your model you can actually "lay" a photo over it in zbrush with a feature called lightbox and "paint" in detail to get it looking more like the subject...yours is pretty close

Hi John

I didn't use any software other than Photoshop. I used my cheap laser level connected to a jig that I made to guide it horizontaly, and my digital camera set to 320X240 30 Frames Per Second. I did chop up the video using Sony Vegas Video though.

I made a few scripts in Photoshop to batch process the sequence of photos. There was a little manual work to put all the lines of resolution next to each other to come up with the final picture.

That's just awesome Alan-- and thanks for the feedback from everyone else too!. The resolution/quality of the images goes WAY up and the time way down when folks use a portable projector vice a laser too. I'm keeping my eye out for one. Here's how it works (though the software is still the same, david 3d)
