[Profile] Breguet Br.1001 Taon

[Robert]

I decided to create a profile of a modified version of the Breguet Taon for this group build, and just to keep it interesting, I thought I would post screenshots of my progress. I'm using the three-view from this website as a basis. First I re-draw it in Autocad:

Cool!

Thanks. I decided to add the nose and a few other bits from a Fiat G.91R; I was hoping the gun would fit also, but it doesn't look like it will:

Next I plot the Autocad drawing to a PDF, then zoom in to 250% and use the snapshot tool to grab the image, then paste into Paint Shop Pro. This gives me a high-resolution image to work with, first I delete the white parts and then start coloring sections:

Looking at some reference photos I see that there are a few details that I need to add, including the gun ports (which weren't in my reference drawing for some reason). So, back to Autocad, then add the details to my drawing in Paint Shop Pro:

Did some shading:
