Making a large buck from a scale model is a class I taught in NH 10 years ago. It was a bit more complicated than simple but it involved making some simple gages that magnified the point-to-point distances, after laying out the flat profiles of all the "slices" of the model, in each view. We went from a 12in model to a 4 foot sculpture, and then covered that in shaped .050 aluminum.
iirc, Mark Goodenough was a principal shaper of some or all of the fancy reverse parts.
