BR 21T Hopper Diagrams

So It's become a huge goal for me to find front and side diagrams of the 21T hoppers. Yes, this should be easy, David Monk-Steel did a book on these I know. Thing is, I do modelling in Blender and so I need actual digital images of the diagrams. I do not have access to an image scanner and I'm not sure when one may become available, if at all. So, I ask this essentially begging to you people, does anyone have front and side ACCURATE drawings of the 21T hoppers? any between diagrams 1/143-1/149 work, preferably 1/146 but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. Attached is literally the ONE diagram I could find that would be usable, but is very inaccurate to the actual hoppers. Thank you in advance to anyone who makes the effort to look, regardless of your success.

If you have access to an android phone then you have a scanner, comes with the camera app.

David Monk-Steel’s book has detailed 7 mm. to the foot drawings of just about every variant of the LNER and BR builds. It really is the best source.

I have the book, issue is I've never been able to get a good scan no matter what I do.

Interesting project.
Which scales will you be working towards?

Accurascale are producing some versions of the BR builds in OO and Hornby have previously produced the ex NE "high handbrake" 21T hoppers. I assume you are looking at another scale, but the fiddly part with the BR versions are the wire handrails at both ends.

Well, I mainly model things for a game that I play, but occasionally I'll make a few files for gauge one if I feel up to it. I do really want to get the Accurascale OO scale ones, though!
