I have been working with Peter Castle of Airscale fame to produce masks for his new and ground-breaking venture, a fully 3D printed, highly detailed and accurate 1/32 kit of the Boulton Paul Defiant. His kit, due for release in the near future, has markings for a day and night fighter variant. The kit will feature decals for those who like to go down that route, but paint masks will be available from Peter for a small extra cost in “hard copy” form and also here as a downloadable file on this site. The kit’s box will have a QR code on it which will link directly to these files. Max

Hello John, hope you enjoy your time here and that you find the forum productive. Max

Good to see you here Bogdan, a Silhouette cutter will prove to be so useful for you! Good luck.

Welcome Mark. I know nothing about Cricut machines but I hope you find plenty here of use.

Morning Duncan…..funnily enough I’ve been replying to your thread on colours over on BM! Hope all’s going well with your venture into masks, plenty of advice and examples here for you to find out about masking. Max

Hello Carl, it’s great to see you here, especially as a Silhouette owner! Please feel free to share some of your work and any tips that you may have. The more the merrier! Max

I have recently done this using my Cameo: MN570 on the tail fin is 2mm tall, that's the smallest that I have ever successfully cut that is usable.

Indeed, what is it? Newer and bigger isn’t necessarily better in my opinion. My Cameo 3 is 10 years old, I bought the “Studio” (can’t recall its exact name) software for it to give more options and it still does all that I need for my models. The limitation is how small and precisely stencils can be cut, not how “whizzy” the software is.

Using a mat was my initial thought too, it seems as though the Oramask may be “wandering” slightly during the cutting process.
