what model are you going to build? you should decide and also in what scale then go to the manufacturers website download the brochure then use the scale calc website http://jbwid.com/scalcalc.htm to convert the measurements, for my boom and arm i zoomed the picture in the brochure to the right size then put some paper on the screen and traced round it.

Hi and welcome to the board.....as have been stated above, u should decide on which model u want to build. As fas as anyone having plans to share.......that is prolly not going to happen, not because we dont want to share, but becasue we dont have plans-per-say. Usually a scratch builider will start with something they have lying around the shop, i.e wheels (usually the hardest thing to find) and build from there......find a set of 3-view drawings, enlarge the drawings to fit the wheels and fillin the other details while building the model. The members here are more than willing to advise, but u will have to decide how scale u want ur model to be. This is just constructive information,
