Introductions

husband, father, Balloon Ground Crew, RFS Volunteer, AvGeek, Model builder, Aviation/Astrophotographer Mmmm🤔 Yeah, I think will about some it.

Hello. Thank you for accepting my application here. I build 1/72 aircraft and I have a Silhouette Portrait. So far I have only cut some side window masks for Northrop Delta to get something flush. Cheers. Patrick

Hi everyone, great to see a group dedicated to mask cutting. I've had a Portrait for about four years now so have quite a few files to upload (when I get a chance) - some generic, some quite specific. I really enjoy this aspect of modelling and always look for ways to utilise the cutter in order to improve my builds. Hoping to share my limited knowledge and pick up a few tips along the way. Martin

Hello, Many thanks to adds ! I build a 1/48 , 1/32 WWI, WWII , Jet and figure ... I use a silhouette Portrait. Regards Richard

Hello everybody, I'm from Italy, building all scales but shifting to larger ones as eyesight weakens while aging. Mainly aeroplanes but with occasional ground, space and water vehicles. Recently purchase a cutting plotter and starting to explore self building paint masks. Thank you for accepting me. Ciao Giuseppe

Hi everyone, I'm Fabio from Palermo and I recently bought a Slhouette Portrait. I hope I can share my painting masks with all of you. Greetings. Fabio

Hi to all.....I'm Enrico from Italy.......i love 1\48 airplanes model.....I've a cameo portrait and try to use it more possible to replicate insignia,codes ,walkaway and canopy masks.....😉

My name is Michel. I'm from France and I'm a WWII aircraft modeler in 1/48 or 1/32 scale.

So I've had a Cameo 1 for a couple of years but only used it to a relatively small degree. I have the full boat of software up to and including the business edition (mainly so I could import AI images. Thanks to Kevin we can share our knowledge and experiences with these contraptions.

Hello, I have had my Portrait cutter for a few years now but have only made a few masks so far. I am trying to learn more about it and hopefully I will on this site. Mark

Hi Guys. Building 1/48 WW2 a/c, WWI in 1/32 and AFV 1/35. Always trying to build models related to South Africa, but anything goes. Figures 54 mm and bigger. Thx for the add

I'm RJ. Looking forward to poking around here; see what's what, & getting to know everybody. When I figure this all out, maybe I can add something you might find useful. Here, you can see what I've been fooling around with: https://flagplot.blogspot.com Please, drop by; leave a comment. RJ

Hi all, Thanks for adding me. I'm new to making masks, but hope to learn. Mostly 1/35 AFVs and 1/48 aircraft. John

Greetings from Lovely Cleveland, OH! Someday we will have a professional NFL team! I build mostly pre-WW2 and WW2 in 1/72 and 1/48. I am a retired school teacher (Cleveland Public schools for 15 years and a couple of systems before that), a retired USAF officer and basically just retired. I am married to my best friend, have three children & 3 grandchildren and a shepadoodle names Bernie Kozar.

Seen many of you here and there. :) Hello again. Ryan

Used to post on Large Scale Planes but lost interest in 1/32 and have not posted there in a long time. Main interest is 1/48th WWII aircraft. Recently picked up a Cameo4 start of the new year and have really enjoyed it, I can't see how I have gone this long without one, it is so handy. Still learning the software and looking forward to what I can learn and contribute to this group.

Hi folks. Thanks for adding me to the forum: I am quite new to designing and cutting masks. I build 1/48 aircraft models and 1/35 AFV's. Cheers Christian

Hello everyone, Newbie with home made masks, my new silhouette portrait is on his way. My favorites kits are figures, afv, aircrafts and some cars. Go go gooooo.

New here and thanks for add.

Howdy everyone, another LSPer here! I'm an aircraft mechanic during the day, and after seeing the results guys were getting with paint masks, I thought I could apply the technique to full sized aircraft. The shop I worked at did a lot of high end avionics upgrades, and the need for unique stencils and placards allowed me to convince the boss to buy a Cameo III for that purpose. Since It was my idea, I got tasked with learning and putting it to use. Here are a few results. This is a circuit breaker panel from a Cessna 172 An entire brand new panel for a Piper Commanche 400

Hi, Thanks for the invite. I administrate the facebook "cutting edge " plotter/cutter group dedicated to scale modeling and cutters. Kevin told me about this website a couple days ago. I think this website is a great thing especially for those using cricut machines. Now they have a place they can load files without the annoyance of facebook interfering. I really enjoy using cutters in scale modeling and look forward to seeing what comes out of this effort to put this one a website.

G'day Ladies and Gents, I've never made paint masks, however I'm familiar with Adobe Illustrator and I'm planning to make paint masks for my 1/24 Jagtviggen. Therefore I'm here to learn all about paint masks. Cheers Rainer

Good morning (here at least) to everyone. Just ordered a Portrait 2 a few days ago, so the timing is great for this forum. Looking forward to getting my feet wet and hopefully contributing some. Chris

Hi, As a scale modeller I'm mostly into Cold War aircrafts, preferably in 1/72 scale, but I also build other subjects. I have a Silhouette Portrait cutting machine. All the best, Tommy Killander

Long time LSP member and modeler here. While I've not yet entered the world of custom masks, aside from some Montex store bought goodies, I anxiously look forward to learning more, and most certainly will benefit from some custom stuff, in the hopefully not too distant future. Kevin
