Not sure how to make it look like this. I've used the blend tool, but it's not quite the same. I need the 3d part outlined.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Which version of AI are you using?

In CS and CS2 there's a 3D tool that would give that effect.

If you are using an earlier version, you could use the blend tool just to set the 3D look and then you could use the Pen tool and trace exactly as you need since it isn't such a complicated graphic.
 
yep, just have to grin and bear it and use the pen tool to draw some lines.
 
If your using an older version of Illustrator you could find a copy of KPT Vector Effects, works great for that. Used to love that plugin.

Cheers
