where to find hi-res surface maps of planets?

I am looking to model a scale version of the solar system, and need ultra-high resolution images of the entire surfaces of planets.

Right now I have the earth, moon, and both of mars' moons.

By ultra-high resolution I mean something like 10,000x5,000 or so.

I understand that such high-quality doesnt exist for the outer planets, so lower quality would be ok for those like pluto...

I would especially think that one of mars would exist, but a google search left me emptyhanded.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

I have a CD with radar derived surface elavation data for Venus. Got it from NASA free, but it was years agao, so don't remember how I got it exactly. I'd poke around the NASA sites, especially JPL.

Your probably not going to find typical image files ready to go. You'll find raw data that you'll have to manipulate into a useful format. That's how the Venus data I played with was.
