Hello, I am a modeler for more than 20 years. I'm a graphic designer, in my day, I work with a two plotter one prints and the other cut's the two have 1.62 mt. My software is CorelDraw and Illustrator. In the begin of the pandemic i started to draw my cut masks, for my planes and for auto windows. i have some drawing, hope i can help.. Thanks in advance for add me Vitor A.

This was supposed to be a quick little side project to give me an excuse to print something on my Elegoo Saturn 3D printer, but like most of my projects, dragged on and got more complicated. I decided to try to recreate the metallic effects and overall weathering as close to what we see on screen as possible, and late in the piece, I decided it needed a base for stability purposes. The lettering on the base was cut iwth my Silhoutte Portrait and applied over a white base, and SMS Jet Black applied over the top. Took me 3 goes to get this right! So what was supposed to take a few days has ended up taking a few months, but here it is. Thanks for looking! Now I need to get back to one of my many unfinished aircraft projects! Kev

Thanks, Max. I had a lot of fun with this one, and the combination of 3D printing and custom paint masks takes the modeller one step closer to being fully self-sufficient. Kev

Not even remotely my kind of thing Kev, but I can most certainly recognise and applaud the work, the techniques and the skill that has gone into creating it….well done my friend! 👋

That’s a good thought Guy. I have cut masks for several people (over on LSP) but purely on a “friends” basis and on the understanding that whilst I know my way around a Silhouette machine and software, I do not pretend to be a professional and therefore do not supply them with any guarantee of quality or accuracy. I would be willing to consider doing a similar thing here if required for cost of materials and postage. Max
