good, full size blueprints of the Saturn V or the V2

That would be a lot of paper. You probably don't want the loftsman drawings, since they really are full scale. Ordinary engineerng drawings would be on 32X40 paper or something similar. A full set of drawings of the initial mechanicals would probably fill your den. Then the electrical, and then the logical one-wire, and then the truckloads of amended drawings. You'll need a room 40 X 40 and two clerks on roller skates.

Well, maybe a full set to pick a couple of good ones from, suitable for framing.

Actually, you need about four times that much space. I've visited the NASA data repository at MSFC where all these drawings are stored. Trust me, those drawings aren't lost. You'll need a few more clerks than that too.

I knew two guys who were part of the team which spent weeks burning the Saturn5 prints.
