It would be a cool project but rather daunting...

I like the idea. What scale are you thinking. I recently redid the pattern for my John Deere 6600 Combine and drew all the interior pieces. I have not done all the shafts pulleys counter shafts and chains yet but really interested in your idea. Here is a 1/32 scale and 1/64 scale photo of the outer shell.
