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

I agree with Kev on both accounts. I used to have a notebook that had AutoCAD on it from where I used to work, but that's now gone. And I got away from using that because of the hassle of transferring files and importing different file types, etc.

I tend to just stick with Silhouette Studio, which is pretty clunky, but also enormously capable—especially if you pay the small upgrade fee to the Business Edition. Of course, this assumes you're in the Silhouette universe, rather than Cricut, Brother, or some other alternative. Another option is Affinity Designer, which is a highly cost-effective alternative to Adobe Illustrator. Kev

Hello all. Firstly, thanks to Kev for resetting my password. This getting old(er) isn't what it's cracked up to be! 😁 Secondly, a huge thanks to @Mozart for the custom serial and codes for this one. I supplied Max with a single dimension and he did the rest. Max, you're a star. 🙏 The remainder of the stencils are the 1ManArmy set designed to replace the Airfix decals. They aren't entirely accurate and had to be modified on occasion to get closer to those on MK356. Built to honour the memory of Squadron Leader Mark Long who perished at the controls on 25th May, 2025. I recognize some of the membership from LSP so I apologize to you since you may have already seen this one. Cheers, Guy
