Saw some models in the LHS last week. Do a Google Image search for "da vinci model kits" - plenty of examples come up. They look quite cool, was thinking of having a go at one sometime myself.

I once made my own, no plans, just some bits of wood nails and stone, worked well
(top marks for range, zero marks for authenticity!)

Cheers for the heads up on the Da Vinci kits this looks like it could get expensive
