Mozart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello Giorgos, welcome to the Forum. Can you tell us what the image is that you’re trying to scale to the right size please? If I’m making a German cross, or a British roundel for instance I measure it from the source material, perhaps the decal from the kit, or photograph. Then when I’ve drawn it with the Silhouette software I just enlarge the drawing to match the size that I measured. I’ve also taken a picture of an aeroplane from a profile in a book, a Ju88 for example, then imported that picture, or part of it, into Silhouette. Then I’ve measured an area on the kit (I only work in 1/32 scale), say by a door and scaled the drawing on screen to match that measurement. Then from that drawing I can draw the markings to the right size to fit the model! Hope this makes sense and is some help! Max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Futter Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 When it comes to testing for size and position, my advice is to use plain printer paper for your initial cutting tests, and only use the masking material once you're happy with your testing.

I really haven’t experienced that Giorgos and I don’t have an answer. I don’t understand why or how the size you have drawn it isn’t the size that the machine cuts, it seems impossible not to be! Sorry, I’m beaten for an answer. 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
