Looks good Kev, thanks for all your efforts in keeping the site up & healthy

excellent work! the masking and painting look exceptional

thx gents, just ordered some Cricut to try

thx, I'll take a look at that

I've been using some to be clear transfer medium (not oracal) that came with some masking vinyl that I bought on amazon but it's actually fairly grainy and glossy, as such difficult to see though to line up the mask any recommendations on transfer medium that works well? thanks

These are fantastic, thanks for uploading!

nice to meet you Bogdan, and those are excellent looking builds!

thank you for the announcement as well as all your time and efforts into this site I'm fairly new to the hobby, but I've spent a lot of time here learning on making masks and techniques so appreciate all the energy you put into it

Well that is a very cool build!

Welcome Mark! if you haven't already done so I would search youtube for the Cricut I'm new to this as well and have the Silhouette and found many there, i'm sure there would be content for Cricut

Yeah i can imagine it was difficult to line things up just so with all the visual lines Well done!

that looks great Kev the nose turned out exceptionally well, how did you find doing the checker pattern?

Thanks Gene, I will give them a look!

Thanks Kev, and thanks for putting the effort here to gather info creating your own masks - much appreciated! Seems I might have to bite the bullet or use a combo of tamiya sheets and the 631

Hi there, Novice builder but like the idea of creating my own masks and I've just picked up a Silhouette Portrait 4 and learning how to use it From what I've read the oracal 810 or tamiya masking sheets seem to work best, I'm picking up the tamiya sheets but finding an economical source of 810 around Calgary or in Canada is tough. Amazon has 631 which is flexible but not transparent, and 813 which is transparent but more rigid seems the 810 is the goldie locks but I can't seem to find an economical source - best I can find is $35/10yd + $20 shipping ps - think the site is great, strange it's not more popular but I guess this is an avenue most may not want to go
