You would be wise to talk to the foundry you plan to use first as they sometimes don’t like to do things the same way as others and will tell you what they expect.
If I was able to model it accurately, adjusting for shrinkage won't be an issue.
The only issue is I won't have a clue for any foundries in my area. I deal with one in work but they only deal with big stuff and numerous orders. If you have the contacts for the one you use I would be happy to follow up with them.

That is great for starting but I would need to take a lot of dimensions to make a detailed model. Are you able to read engineering drawings? as if I make a drawing for it you would be able to measure and adjust my dimensions. If not is there any chance of sending them one by one so I can detailed them up myself, create the drawing and then send them back.

Those images are great, in mean time a managed to source a Daimler 15 one that seems slighty different to the one you have. I managed to fully detail it up as show in my drawing.
