Hi, you guys have inspired me to learn how to make scale models but so far my google searching have failed to find any good plans, I was hoping someone could help me out.
I'm interested in cars and planes(hoping to build a spitfire one day)
Cheers.

Many on here use Toys and Joys plans as well as Gatto plans. Have a look at this site and type in plans in the search box Hobby | RC | Patchwork | Model Boats | Model Aircraft | MyHobbyStore I know it is in the UK so you would have to ask about postage.
G'day Kiwi. Here's a couple of links to check out:
Wooden Toy Plans, Patterns, Models and Woodworking Projects from Toys and Joys
Gatto Plan Supply - The finest in wooden model plans!
Toys car and trucks wood models
Plans de construction de voitures en bois, wood model car
Wooden Trucks Plans and Patterns for wooden toys Enjoy Making Wooden Toys
Blueprints only, but worth a look:
The-Blueprints.com - The largest free blueprint collection on the Internet
Thanks mate.
Good links Steve.
Just a thought... I might see if there's not already a list of all these links/plans, and either put it in a Sticky at the top of the Scale Models, or the Library.
Not a bad idea. Otherwise they'll be quickly buried when this thread's done with.Quote:

If you are interested in model horse drawn vehicles, a great source for plans is the Guild of Model Wheelwrights. Check out their website The Guild of Model Wheelwrights - Farm Waggons Farm Carts Woodland Vehicles Timber Bob Turnwrest Plough Gypsy Caravan Scale Model Horse Drawn Vehicles - John Thompson David Wray Barrie Voisey

if you google greg edwards data sheets if you are interested in trains ... i have several of those (actually picked up on ebay) .... also for trains the railway historical bookshop in sydney and model train shop brighton, melbourne have heaps of books that can help ... i believe the one in sydney also has detailed information and drawings on locos and rolling stock but you may have to visit them to see it (sorry that is not necessarily much help to you)
sorry also that i haven't posted links for you but i am on the ipad at present
regards david
p.s. i have also used a number of the plans from the last last link above (faram) but they are toys to be played with rather than models ... i have made a heap of them for young kids and also make some for the charity xmas tree each year

Hi Htl, I often get messages from lads around the globe wanting to start off with something in model building. Asking for plans that I actually don't have as I build different way. Can I share your pictures with my Wooden Custom Cars community on Facebook?
Silverlux this was a SketchUp free drawing I found and added the measurements to, so should be ok but do a search on SketchUp, for a better Idea how things work over there.
Do a search in SketchUp 3d Warehouse under woody.
