Apr 15, 2011 at 20:35 comment added Martin Bright There is a lot of information on rational parametrisations of singular cubics in Coray & Tsfasman, "Arithmetic on singular del Pezzo surfaces", Proc. LMS 57 (1988), no. 1. From a brief glance it looks like they say this: if the surface is not a cone and there is an isolated singularity defined over the base field, then projection away from the singular point gives a birational map to $\mathbb{P}^2$. If none of your singular points are defined over the base field, you use a Cremona transformation determined by the three singular points and another rational point.
