OK, I found it. Dale A. Keller "3-D Graphics Finally! Real Graphics!"
March 1984 pg 106 "The Color Computer Magazine."

Has data for a wireframe house and space shuttle. It also has some
references that may help you as well; a BYTE magazine article from '81,
the TRS-80 Microcomputer News (June 1982) article I mentioned, and an 80
Micro article from '82.

I'll get it scanned in for you.
