Help with finding Wooden Toy Guns and Swords Plans

Good day to one and all. I am a novice at this hobbie...as in just
starting a few days ago:)...

what i am looking for is plans to make wooden guns, like a rifle, shot
gun and the like. i hae a CAD file of one but for the life of me i
cant figure out the CAD program to enlarge the designs enough to make
full size templates.

As for the wooden swords, i have not found any plans at all anywhere.

is there a place i can find anything like this?

please, if you respond, can you also e-mail me, i dont get on the
newsgroups that often... i can be reached at
[email protected]


Thanks one and all:)

No plans, couple of pictures:

Both were made from offcuts of beech, a thin strip from ripping a
clean edge onto a thick beech tabletop. The rest was just spokeshave
work to give a little of a diamond section to them. Edges and tip are
_very_ rounded.

Hilts are string, leather, glue and twisted copper wire.

Faux-metal finish is gilt wax.
