Good day everyone! I am a modeler from the city of Grand Rapids, USA. (We happen to be getting a blizzard right now.) I mostly build aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48 scale, and I have been considering getting into creating my own masks for a year or so. My initial interest here is painting aircraft graphics and lettering/numbering instead of using decals that are hard to find, expensive, or damaged. Yesterday, I came across a previously owned, well-maintained Silhouette Cameo 3 with some extras for $60. Seemed like a good entry point, so I jumped on it. I use Hyperscale Forums regularly, and saw this website posted by a member several months ago. I just joined this forum now that I have a cutting machine. Looking forward to learning from everyone here as I get into this new aspect of modeling. See you around! -Steve EJ

Hi, Thought I would introduce myself, Im a 1/72 scale modeler from central Scotland, mainly aircraft and armour , but I've dabbled in some fantasy and naval stuff. I really really like building dioramas, maybe its I like to tell a story lol I have about 5 ideas in my head for dioramas and one on the bench lol. I enjoy building entropy stuff, you know wrecked ruined and abandoned stuff as you can see below. I picked up a Cricut Air 2 just before xmas second hand for £90, I guess am wanting to experiment a little and see what I can do with it, I like the idea of being able to create my own masks for things like aircraft code letters, I know the tiny serial ones are too small lol, I had the idea to get a cricut when I tried to 3D print masks for a USMC Corsair that I was building and couldnt find the decals. I love 3D printing and Ive also just picked up a 3D scanner am trying to get to grips with lol. What am hoping I might get from here, is not just the excellent masks that you folks have created but I guess am wanting to try and figure out how you do it so I can figure out my own workflows. The web is awash with Cricut videos but theres very few that shows how to achieve what I think we want to use Cricuts for. Thanks for the add Butch

Thanks for accepting me. Some of the files I've reviewed look amazing. Many of you have incredible skiils.
