I think I already know the answer to this, which would be "no", but, is it possible to obtain drawings/plans for existing buildings? Say for example if I wanted to make a scale model of Big Ben, can I get the plans from somewhere?

I imagine the answer to be no because of terror threats. So are the people who make models a) super talented b) have inside information or c) both ?

Google image search of 'Big Ben Floor Plan' and 'Houses of Parliament Floor Plan' worked for me . . .

I don't see why not. I imagine the local councill office would be able to give you info on where to obtain said plans..

That brings up some nice images useful for maps, but nothing for working out measurements. The one possible usable image is a photograph of a folded plan so not usable.
