Greeting from Canada.

My name is Andy, and I’ve been building mostly model aircraft (preferably in 1/48th & 1/32nd— with the occasional venture into 1/35th armour and the odd ship model — ever since I helped (hindered at age 8 more like...lol) my grandpa build a model kit in England back in 1977 (an Airfix 1/24 Ju-87 Stuka kit ).

I stepped away from the hobby for far too many years, but I’m now making a real effort to dive back in and start working through my growing stash of kits that are waiting for me to build.

I’ve seen a lot of great articles and videos of modelers using Cricut and Silhouette machines to create custom paint masks, so I recently picked up a gently used Cricut Explore Air 2 to see if I can learn the ropes myself.

Joining this site seemed like the perfect place to start!

Looking forward to learning from everyone and hopefully sharing some progress along the way.

Hi, welcome to our small corner of the online modelling world.

Welcome Andy, great intro! I hope you enjoy your delve into the model-making hobby, being able to make your own masks is so fulfilling and useful. There’s lots of advice here but if you need more, ask away.
