You may want to review building one Simon.
Once you add up the cost for building it, especially the cost of the sensor, you will end up paying the same or more for a camera already available.
An example, the cost for a Sony sensor (Mono), like on the SXV-H9, QHY-2 Pro etc, costs approx $1000 in single price purchase. The larger Sony is around the $800.00 mark, and the Kodaks, well, look over $2000 each.

Then of course you have issues with compatability with O/S plus capturing software, support and on and on.
A second hand camera is cheaper, comes complete, and works out of the box.
