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

Thanks for the suggestions @Mozart and @GeneK . I actually 'bought' the Cameo through off the 'classified ads' at my workplace. I was supposed to meet the person yesterday to pay for/pick it up...but we're in the middle of a blizzard and I worked remotely instead of going in to the office. So I won't have it in my hands until Monday (if weather cooperates). I'll probably start fiddling around with it next weekend. A friend in my local IPMS club has the same one, so he offered to help me get started and give a tutorial. I also introduced my friend to this forum...so he might be stopping in, too. Looking forward to getting started. -Steve EJ

Welcome aboard, Steve! Kev
