I just use photoshop to edit the parts created after the scratch build and for repaint, ive tryed pepakura but find it more demanding than scratch build. i guess it all depends on the designer and which method is more famimiar

Deux ponts progress. There isn´t much info about the deux ponts so, blueprints for lower engine nacelles had to be created , textures for recolor come from microsoft flight sim aircraft.

It is fascinating to see your methodology step-by-step, YK.

Today, reading one of Abhovi's Dutch sailing ship threads, I realized that he uses the same time-honored method of non-computer rollation to develop the hulls of his ships. If you go to his relevant post (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/754414-post28.html) and click on "Knippen_plakken_A4-lowres.pdf", you will be transported to Abhovi's magnificent book on Dutch maritime history. Go to Page 2 and in Image 4 you will see him rollating a hull panel just as you have been developing the fuselage panels for your Breguet transport pane.

Cery cool Don!!, Ive heard that old model designers like schreiber bogen, maly modelars , kranjch etc used this technic as well. Love that document thanks!

This is going to be a great model.
Love the old propliners.

Following with great interest. I'm hoping at some point to be able to tackle my own much less ambitious scratch build like a small racing type if I can glean enough info from threads like this.
Thanks for taking the time to explain.

question about the texture you are referencing.
are you using the texture as a guide in painting your model?
or have you asked the original creator of the texture that you can use his work in your future premium model?
