Hi all! Recently I got myself a Silhouette Portait 3, and I'm still learning to get along with it. I stumbled upon this forum, and from the first reads I thought registrating myself could be very useful! Recognised @Kevin Futter from his work on Instagram, maybe more of you guys are active there? I mainly build 72nd and 48th scale WWII aircraft, but I make some sidesteps now and then. I am using masks a lot in my builds to paint markings and insignia, but never was able to make them myself. Hopefully I'll find some help and interesting reads here, and maybe also inspiration, who knows! Greets Davy

Welcome aboard, Davy! 🫡 I get around, so I'm known in many places! Kev

If you're reading this, then I'm sure you will have noticed that I've started to customise some of the forum "header card" images that now adorn each section of the forums. Let me know what you think! I've mainly used images of my own models, just to avoid any copyright issues with "found" images. There are few for which I haven't been able to come up with anything, however, so I'd welcome any suggestions or contributions. We could feasibly swap them out on an occasional or even regular basis, though I suspect that may dilute their usefulness as a recognition tool. Kev

I started this build back in 2020, and then it got stalled by whole bunch of major life changes. I resumed it again last year, and was able to finally finish it this year. It's the Revell boxing of the old Matchbox 1/32 Tiger Moth kit, combined with the 1/32 air ambulance conversion set from Uncle Les. This consisted of some resin spine pieces and a vacform windscreen/canopy, along with some home-printed decals. I used the decals as the basis for creating my own paint masks on the Silhouette Portrait, and here is the result! And its final resting place: This is the first aircraft model I've rigged since I was a kid, and I'm not particularly happy with my process, or the results it produced, but I'm certainly glad to have finished it!
