  1. Hello Folks, my name is Duncan Black and I have recently bought a Cricut Explore 3 as a retirement gift to myself. I am a keen aircraft modeller and airbrush painter with plenty of experience of using commercially purchased paint masks but have always wanted to be able to create my own. Unfortunately I am a luddite when it comes to drawing software so I guess I have quite a learning curve ahead of me. To start I will be happy to reproduce basic markings like RAF roundels, US 'Stars and Bars' and WW2 Luftwaffe markings and the various code numbers and letters. I use a lot of canopy masks so that's another application I will be having a go at in the future. For now I will start by learning how to produce basic files and load them into Cricut Design Space. My first project will probably be RAF Interwar roundels for a 1/48 Hawker Hart kit I am currently building. I have EazyDraw for Mac already installed on my computer so may as well try that out. Expect lots of stupid beginners questions in the near future lol. Duncan B

  2. By way of an introduction to the forum here are a few of my previous builds, up until now I have been using commercially available paint masks for my builds. I am hoping to change that with the recent purchase of a Cricut Explore 3.
