Base design started with a Voskhod scale diagram and the Soyuz-L T2K model & diagrams from New Ware (
nw148).
I cut the panels from the wrap in Photoshop and printed them on adhesive labels - I am fairly sloppy with glue so this makes for a much cleaner build. I tend to use 65mmx48mm labels as they give enough space in 1-72 with limited wastage.
Using DeltaCAD I drew the cones and disks and in Photoshop arranged and printed them on 220gsm 12x12 (inch) card. By the time I was on version 3 I ended up writing a script to draw the cones.
