No I did not deviate. I start with the basic dimensions of the 1:1 machine that are available, that gives me the envelope where everything has to fit, and then work on eyeing the rest till I am happy with the overall look. Some parts are easy but some are a total guess from references to other parts and from pictures. I got a little luck because I came across a website that did a complete overall of a 24H with lots of pictures.
