  4. That looks great, Dave! Can I convince you to upload the cut files when you're done? Kev
  5. Masked up the remaining pieces and painted.
  6. Yes to what snigel said! There are good tutorials here on this site. A quick demo: I'm also interested in your laser cutter set up. Can you cut balsa with it? Gene K
  7. Yep, welcome indeed mon ami. I hope you enjoy your Silhouette machine and find lots of useful information on our site.
  8. Thanks Kev. When I weeded out all the unnecessary bits, I realized there's a mistake there. This is the final after a recut. First mask piece in place. Paint on. Masks off. I like it. Just 4 more mask pieces to go.
  9. Looking forward to seeing the results, Dave! Kev
  10. I've been working on a Revell Razor Crest. When I used the decals in the cockpit, they seemed a bit thick and I eventually had to pull out a very old bottle of Solvaset and use a 1/4" flat brush to push them down into the details. Therefore, I was concerned about using the kit decals for the yellow stripes on the outside. So I decided to make masks for painting the yellow stripes. I'm sure it'll be challenging to get them in place correctly. This is a screen capture from the Silhouette Studio software. I think it's the largest single piece of masking material that I've used. I'll weed out what I don't need but it'll be a couple days 'til I try them. It's raining so I can't paint and I don't want to have them sitting around stuck to the model for a while. It should be interesting.

  12. Hi all, I just turned 40 and did myself a gift, say a Silhouette Portrait 3. Here to learn how to do, take profit of your great contributions, and improving my skills in order to contribute myself. Have a nice day all!
  13. Use transfertape to get the alignment of the letters correct, or the serialnumbers on the fins. What 3D-printing machine are you using?
  14. Probably, and probably not. Kev
  15. View File Landrover-35-scale.studio3 In a rare departure for me, I'm doing a 1/35 scale Landrover Series 3: it's a slightly out-of-scale accessory to go with a 1/32 scale aeroplane, of course. This set of wheel masks assumes that, like me, you paint the wheel centre, then mask that and paint the tyre. There are masks for five wheels (four plus the spare on the bonnet) and a spare pair. The central circle is to allow for mounting on a cocktail stick for painting. Sized for the Italeri 1/35 scale kit (kit no 6508, Landrover Series 3, LWB). It is equally applicable to civilian vehicles, or course, but as I'm doing a military one it's in here. Feedback welcome. Submitter MikeC Submitted 03/14/2024 Category Vehicles - AFVs & Military

  17. Kev, is there a change log, and if so, is it worth a read? Gene K
  18. Just a test post after yet another software update. Kev
  19. Just Oramask 810 Gene. Under a coat of primer:
  20. Thanks. What material are you cutting? Gene K
  21. Thanks for the input. Having looked at a video, what you're saying makes sense to what the material looks like in that video.
  22. View File Rib tapes and stitching for biplanes etc This is my solution to replicate the rib tapes and stitching seen on biplanes with fabric-covered wings and also some monoplanes which still had fabric covered elevators, rudders etc such as the Hurricane shown in my photograph.

  24. I have tried "Gold mask" and find that it's reasonably sticky and flexible for canopymasks but is too easily distorted when the mask get much larger or intricate. It sticks to the backingpaper too much for masking the ID-letters on 1/48-scale RAF fighters for example unless a transferfilm is used. The smallest circles are not cut cleanly enough by the machine (maybe it is a speedsetting issue) so the smaller cirlcles are better cut by other means. It tends to curl very easily making placement difficult and gunks up the blade quicker than Oracal 810. I'd say using a transferfilm is a must when using Goldmask unless you're masking a canopy, nosecone or something like that. It will stick to compound curves almost as good as paint though. Is it a good maskingmaterial? It depends on what you're masking.
  25. Thanks, DBB. What program are you using to design your parts? Gene K
