Thanks Leo for your kind remarks.... I feel that the models that I do are not all that hard keeping in mind that all the plans are at 1 to 1 scale so all you do is trace them with tracing paper and then transfer the tracing onto the wood here is a link to the company that you get them from Wooden Toy Plans, Patterns, Models and Woodworking Projects you can buy the more complex parts of the model as a kit if you think you may not able to produce them.
What I have done is get the parts then try to make them, myself this easier because you have a solid object to work off if you were to go down this track I am sure you would succeed at this type of model building and if help was required I could help you or one of the other model builders that have more experience than myself would also help out as well.
Here is another place to get model plans from Gatto Plan Supply - The finest in wooden model plans! but I do not think they are at full scale and you may have to measure all the parts and draw them onto the wood maybe some of the forum members may make comment on this I could be wrong.

PS
I remember I was wrong once in 1956 but I have forgotten what it was about
