Hi all fellow builders and greetings from Sweden.

Im quite active on LSP for many years, fantastic forum indeed it is and i really enjoying being there, see all fantastic projects in progress.

Im used to use vinyl masks, but the down side i have to rely on AM or if lucky one can cut masks for me, so stuck in a way in options.

So to lock up more options, its time for me to learn that too in modelling, so got me a own cutter, and i think after reading about it it is a good to start with, as i am truly a beginner, do know PC and OS, and troubleshoot hardware, and games, as im a period gamer,.builded many of them.

But when it comes to software, well that is something else, yes can draw in MS paint all that and some other simple software.

So joined here to get valuable tips and how to, and hopefully when good and confident will be able to share, sure will be a learning curve for me, and yes will try to share my fails aswell, as its from them we do learn from.

Later will do my first ones for my ongoing project on LSP

So keeping it simple, Hinomaru with s white border.

Welcome aboard, Mal!

Hi Mal's Way

Good to see you here. I think you'll find quite a few names you know from LSP here, and also some from BM.

Thanks, yes allready recognised a few,

Allready found some real nice masks here that in the future for sure will come handy.

Welcome Mal, sorry I missed your earlier posts. Good to see another LSPer join the fray of mask making and use, it's a great benefit especially in our scale.

Regards

Thanks Max, and hey no problems.

Thanks, as i hope i can contribute with something later here when getting more comfortable with the software.

First of, will be the Hinomaru with white border for my ongoing Ohka Trainee, should be simple but for a newbie like me error and trial here, but as i see it if others had learned so should i, you never learn if never try, and fails about that fails are there for learning.

So will see the upcoming week when home from Santorini and fire up my silhouette portrait 4 for the first time,

Got to figure wich software version, oh well we will see.
