How to design instructions for a Paper Model

[prabal276]

Hey Guys,

I'm designing a paper model of my own. It's an Alco WDM 3D Locomotive which is used by the Indian Railways as a workhorse. The locomotive is 1:48 scale and is super detailed. I plan on selling the model online.

The issue I'm facing is, how to design the instructions. I know I could just click photos while doing a test build but isn't there a better way? How do designers at Canon papercraft and other Papercrafters design those awesome looking illustrated instructions?

Help would be appreciated
