Hey, BIGTINY
I would bet there are many who read this Forum and wonder the same 
thing...  what modules to consider for a useable "beginners" analog 
synth ?  My particular goal is for quite a bit less than you have in 
mind since I need something portable and midi-keyboard controlled.
The learning curve in chosing and assembling a modular is too steep 
for many of us... where do you find a tutorial for such a procedure 
using current modules ?
Still,  if we are to receive practical guidance tempered with 
compassionate patience... this will be the place !!
