B. I am still new to the world of modeling and especially cutting machines. I don't know anything about masking material except masking tape. When I was wondering how I was going to produce 1/2mm wide pinstripes it was suggested at my local model club that I sould try decal sheet. I had heard of... -

Ford Model T 1/16th scale --- modified.
Lovely model! I've always had a soft spot for the 'T'. Perhaps it was all the Laurel and Hardy films I've watched. Very nicely done. Lee- A7man

Nervous Newbie.
Welcome. I have been down the same path as you! I chose scratch building to make my models, but maybe one day I will build a boxed kit. Lee- A7man

Mr Bowcat, The items I cut out on the Joy were not masks, they were the finished item to be stuck on the car. The vinyl I bought is made for cutting machines like the Joy. It's a tough thin vinyl on a sheet of waxed paper. It comes on a roll, I bought bigger rolls of the vinyl and cut it down to... -

Hi Peter, The Joy is a very small cutter - drawing machine. I designed my 1/10th scale pinstripes on it, made that into a "block" of 12 and then asked the Joy to cut them out of a sheel of vinyl. The width of the stripes was half a mm. No way could I have painted them by hand or masked them for... -

Radish, thanks for the info on decal sheets. I haven't used them for my own "artwork" yet, but have often felt like I should try. Jim, I have a love/hate relationship with the Cricut Joy. I love the machine, I hate the software. The software is as awkward as h**l, and for me, refuses to work if... -

After seeing some pics of a fantastic cart posted by Radish in his welcome to a new member, I have decided to ask for help with something I'm doing. I have completed the four 1/10th scale models of my 1930 Austin Seven, (I still have the cases to make) and I am now building a smaller version... -

Well Chris, you left off cars in your list. I am a car man. The older the better. But having said that, I can appreciate and enjoy the skill and passion behind any build of anything. My late dad was a tank driver in the 50s in Germany. I would like to build something he would have driven, but I... -

I think I understand now! I only joined in December '25 so hadn't been aware of all these problems with images. I am sure it will be fixed. Lee -

As a newbie, when I first saw this I didn't know what you meant. I was waiting for some of the "old timers" on the forum to post an answer. Maybe, like me, they don't know what you're asking. Lee -

New hobby started
I have an electric fire in my sitting room that has a built in video screen. As well as videos of log and coal fires, gas flames, a lava lamp and country sceen, there is a fish tank. If you close your eyes you can smell the various fires, but the fish tank is the most soothing. Look after...- A7man

Youtube ad blocker
When I tried to read this post yesterday it wouldn't diplay the content but showed an error message that said using an ad blocker might be one of the reasons it couldn't show the post. So my ad blocker was stopping me from reading about ad blockers? Sounds fair! -

Nice one Stephen! Reminds me of a trip to Lavenham many years ago. One of the best places to see buildings like this. Are you building a diorama?- A7man

3D printer
Are you looking at resin or fdm printers? I have one of each. An old Ender3 which is an fdm printer. A plastic "wire" is fed through a very hot nozzle to extrude liquid plastic at 0.4 mm dia. It then draws your design in 3D. The prints are very strong but the detail is a bit weak. I also have an...
