Your advice for using a photo from which to scratch-build is good advice, however, the dimensions on a yardstick can be difficult to read in a photo. That is why I recently offered The Measuring Stick as a neat homemade tool for use when taking photographs of record for the purpose of using them as an aid from which to build.
The suggestion of using some known dimension, such as those of a brick, to develop the dimensions of the prototype is also good advice.
