Hi Gary, Welcome aboard. I cut Oramask 810 and Tamiya sheets without the mat and I've had no issues. I feed the masking material attached to its backing paper directly in the machine. I've even cut sheet styrene without the mat. In the page setup, select "None" under the Cutting Mat section. For masks and without mat, I usually go with Bade depth 1, force 5, speed 3, 1 pass. Best of luck.

Hi guys, Here is the file I've created to cut FOD covers for Revell's Hawker Hunter. The real thing as a sharp "fold" running along its length, and some handles. All of them are easy to replicate with a little plastic folding and lead wire. You can glue them in place or fill the intake with white-tack/patafix for a more forgiving placement.

I have no idea. I looked into it but came up empty handed. We'd need someone with experience with font creation / how they are packaged.

Hey @Jeepee I'm glad you found it useful :)

Hi all Quick workaround for those who want to use RAF_PW_ATH Download Inkscape (a free, reputable vector graphic software). Write your text using RAF_PW_ATH. Export it as .svg Load that .svg file in Silhouette studio (I have the designer edition) And follow instructions below What this allows you to do is to get a more consistent point distribution than what MikeC generously put together a few years back. Allowing for a more precise cut. I hope this will help a few of you :)

Thanks @GeneK I ended up using a mix of hasegawa single seater eduard masks and some old fashion masking but it came out ok. That's the Revell TF-104G

Hi guys, @GeneK have you ever gotten around to tracing masks for the TF-104? I'm building the Revell TF-104G and I messed up the windshield, I'm trying to find a masking set I can use to redo it and I feel like you may have the answer :)

Thanks Kevin, I had no idea that could be changed and I've now reverted back to the classic display.

Hi Kevin, If I may, I think having the categories listed without header cards and in a more traditional fashion makes for an easier browsing. Most of us are used to LSP, ARC, BM etc and sticking with a familiar layout would, IMO, improve the forum ease of use. Have a great day.

Nice one Gene, thank you!

Hello, 810s is 80 micron (0.08mm) thick. https://www.orafol.com/en/europe/products/oramask-810s-stencil-film Where is the 3mm coming from?

Looking good! You're going to have a full assembly line of 1/72 sabres before you know it. The hard part is going to be to choose the schemes 🙂

Nicely done! I don't have any of the Academy/Hobbycraft in my stash but these look like a solid improvement over the original kit part. Thank you.

Hi @GeneK I'm looking forward to seeing what your design. I had a shape for the arms but it was too flimsy with 0.2mm styrene. I'm gonna find some 0.3mm at some point which I can use for such task. The Hasegawa F-86D is also in need of a slat solution.
