[comp.graphics] Bezier Surface Patch Data

Ref: Bezier Surface Patch Data

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the Bezier Surface Patch data
for the Volkswagon Beetle ? (As featured in several graphics texts).
I have got the teapot data (for rendering, shading, and raytracing etc)
and I would like some more complex models to work with.
Is there any other surface data out there ? I have looked in the usual 
sources, but can only find the teapot, torus, sphere data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would be willing to meet
expenses if anyone could send me the data (tape, disk etc).

Thanks

As far as I know, the VW Bettle data are in form of polygons, not bezier
surface patches. If what you need are surface patches, I guess the VW is
not appropriate.If anyone has it in bezier surface patches, I would like
to have a copy of the data too if it is possible.
