ASKay's shell splog
So I have been encouraged to start a thread for my shell/s, I have a very nice airbrush setup using an old Olympos airbrush and a good quality badger for course stuff.
My first effort was using RCS graphic worx masks on my DEX410R body, fantastic masks as far as i am concern... http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4500 http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4499 http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4498 my next one will be with masks cut on my cheap cutter, getting prepared for that one now... Got a Cougar, another DEX410R, a DEX210, and a SC10 4x4 to paint, + thinking of redoing my CAT too... Thanks for looking :thumbsup: |
Hey buddy, nice to see them put to good use :) they fit that rango nicely.
|
Very nice work :thumbsup:
|
That looks absolutely fantastic mate, the placement of the masks & colours really sets the shell off :)
|
As I said to you in the other thread, love the black and the pink, the design looks real clean and crisp, good lines, will show up well on the track.
Good to see you've started your own thread too, will be good to see the others when they're done. |
1st experiment of the cutter
Well reasonably happy with the results, learnt a heck of a lot.....
so this is a Cougar Shell i had kicking around, that I have run some experiments using the new cutter on.... pretty happy for a first play.... http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4510 http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4509 http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4508 http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=4507 If anyone is thinking of getting a cutter, the Craft Robo is all that great for playing with.... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: especially for 70 quid.... |
That's excellent :thumbsup:
Hmmm might have to treat myself to 1 of those cutters for christmas :D |

Thanks Gainsy, for the money, i think it is the bargain of the century.... Trying an outline next time..... found the button on the software now :woot: |
Really lovin' those distressed lines, that looks super cool !!! Nice job, quite dark though. You're doing well with both the painting and the cutter !
What software are you using ? |
looks like you're getting cracking results with the cutter, that looks ace!
It probably only looks dark because of the matching background!! :woot: |

At the moment, I am using a mixture of Paint (Windows 7), Inscape, and the free software with the cutter 'Cutting Master2' ..... Paint for basic shapes... Still finding my way around Inscape... :confused: |
Looking ace fella.
I got the Robo too, after learning about it on here :) What are you using as mask ? Can't wait to have a go with mine... |

Hiya Andy, looking forward to seeing the results :) The masking material i used is this, http://www.graphicair.co.uk/categori...ol-Ultra-Mask/ however it is pretty thin, and the adhesive is very very low tack, i am wondering if i want somthing with a little more staying power... |
Masking film is meant to be low tack, the only disadvantage of the super ultra extremely not really stick at all low tack stuff is it's designed to be used on illustration board, i.e. you put it over your drawing and cut it out on the board.
The trouble with what you're not using it for is it won't hold well on the back while you're cutter does it's stuff. Probably okay for big shapes but anything fine or text wise it might weed itself out, if that happens it's likely to get stuck under the blade and then the blade won't cut the rest of the job properly. Aside that though you shouldn't need anything more sticky. I use paint mask which is a bit thicker and is designed to take solvent paint so it's handy if I need to mask any chrome logo's or anything. The stuff you're using will crinkle up if you apply solvent to thick so be careful with that. |

Do you have a link to which I could have a look/order the specific paint mask you have used? |
The stuff I've used in the past is 'Premium paint Mask', I think I got my last lot from Cherwell Sign supplies. You can get it from loads of different places. I'd contact a few and ask for a sample. THe one I use is transparent grey, a very light black grey. My mates use one which is more of a brown grey, doesn't hold on the backing as good so they struggle to cut small stuff. I've done some real tiny lettering on mine before !

Oramask 810 is a good quality vinyl mask., and cuts really well. Might be worth a look... J |
