Photofly

If you are a CAD/3D modelling kind of guy you will be interested in this. It is totally free.

Take a series of photographs around a machine part, person or building, ship them off to an Autodesk cloud supercomputer. The computer will return to you a model in 3 dimensions that can be rotated and viewed from many angles. If you are a CAD guy, you can generate a dwg file. If you are into Rhino 3D, you can generate an obj file with mesh and nodes.

Trust me, you need to try this free app.

Thanks Dick. I downloaded the program and I'll start to play with it as soon as I get some properly done pics taken. Figure I'll try it out on a S&S Super "E" carb I'm about to rebuild.
It certainly looks like the results could be very interesting.
