You'll have to go out and find a 6 or 8 row module, and start taking heaps of photos and lot's and lot's of measurements. Then head home and draw it up yourself, to what ever scale suits your fancy.

Drawings for any of the modules, are like rocking horse turds, they be a tad thin on the ground.

If you want drawings for the 3 row or 4 row of eight swing-wings then you better contact me via 'private messages'.

Ah Swishy, I think he needs working type drawings, so he can make a model, not much info/detail/measurements in just a side on shot.

Is this the sort of thing you want to make ?

If it is, then notify me through 'private messages' and I'll pass on your details to the builder of this model, about your request for some drawings.

Yep it sure is, it was built by a Mr Steven Rowley from here in Brisbane. He used to work for McAlesse and convinced them to buy all the appropriate bits, then it took him a couple of years to complete it.
The good part is that when Brisbane was flooded a couple of years ago, the bottom floor of McAleese's premise's was flooded, somebody had enough foresight to grab the model and get it upstairs, so that's why you can see it today.

Go have a look thru this post, page 4 is the one you want.
