Did you found any place where they have nice models of letters to get some inspiration and pick the ones I like? I just did a quick search but did not found any satisfying results yet.

I did; I drew inspiration from a very wide variety of historical scripts. I am actually documenting the whole thing, but it grows too fast for me to get it all into the computer. Some day I'll publish it, though.

I recommend you should check out http://medievalwriting.50megs.com as a good first step for inspiration.

Back in high school tried doing this by printing out the alphabet with a font I liked, and could be written without too much hassle. Then I tried to imitate this, with success for a few month but it didn't last as my style changed.
