Custom Made Model Decals, Stencils, & Masks with the Silhouette Cameo Cutter 

This is absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful tool.

This is really incredible- that software tracing tool makes it way easier than I thought it would be. I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks for posting!

Thank you for this video and the help. Keep up the great work.

What a great little video there. Thanks for sharing

Because i like you are creative ,i can give you an alternative use of Cameo ,I have the first cameo that came in the market ages ago....what i did was to buy a premium cutting knife for the printer for vinyls and i am using the one that comes with to cut thin plastic cards or clear plastic sheets for things like panels ,clear windows and details ,even design and cut flat complete stractures like buildings ,fences and ww2 runway details ! Just go very slow on speed and do the cutting in multiples passes deeper every time and you are done !

Nice instruction, thanks 👍

Thank you for the tuto. I will try asap.

excellent. Now i understand how the cutter software works. What about 1/72 scale models?

Great video tutorial 👌👍

Hi ! First I love your job ! can you give me the reference of the masking sheet that you use in the cutting machine? many thanks per advance

Sir, thank you very much for the informations. I am very inspired, now I think it's time for my own Cameo4. Greetings from Switzerland and may the glue by with you. 🗜️🔩🔧

Brilliant 👏 video

Terrific tutorial..................... I have models almost 20 years old and non of them have ever silvered. This must be a very uncommon phenomenon.

Hey Chad! As usual great video and technique. Would you have a video on painting this Razorback?

Hello! what kind of sticky paper do you use? Thanks for such a good video

Great video! One question: hardest masks to do are cockpit... how do you get pattern o file to make masks for a A6M5 ZERO, for exemple?

Indeed this cutter tool rocks. What film are you using? Does it work with a Tamiya masking sheet?

Very clever!

I just discovered your channel & subscribed. Thanks the for the content-rich subjects. What specific vinyl media do you use for your Silhouette cutter when making your own stencils? Thanks -spd

Amazing tutorial! I'm thinking to buy the silhouette 3 model for my masks. It's better to paint the markings before or after the camouflage?

Great video to motivate me to finally use my Silhouette Portrait (smaller and cheaper than the Cameo but just as good for cutting small masks). I do have one question - how do you size the mask images to the correct size?

Great video, thanks. Stupid question, but how do you handle the excess white paint that you used as background? Do you put the mask back on and then paint around it?

Okay I have a question this is obviously great for insignias and registration lettering but what do you do for placards? aircraft have placards all over them and little tiny writing like around near the cockpit and access panels have writing that's super tiny especially in 1/48 scale (that is available in decals) is there any way to make these or replicate this? I don't think that this cutting machine is able to cut a stencil that tiny so what is your solution for all the placards that are on aircraft?

Feb. 12, 2021---Thanks for the video as it's obviously something modelers can use. I remember many years ago, one of the modeling guys did the same thing, but it was a photo etch set that he'd bought from some where. I remember them having a hole in each corner so they'd line up with each other or on top of each other. Thing is, I see it useful more than on aircraft.....how about numbers/letters on cars, trucks and on the side of a building showing the name of the store or maybe some item, like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc.? Or on a billboard. Thing is, are you limited to only 2 stencils per cut? Can I copy graffiti that has 4 colors for example, spraying each color separately? And how small can a stencil be cut? Wonder if you could do a figure as used on your P-51? If not, plan on printing decals of what I want. This is for 1/35th scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas.

Thanks so much for that video, I too am wanting to create masking sand decals, between the two machines that you recommend which would be the the better choice? I’m pretty good on a computer but not the best, is one easier to use than the other, and is it worth the extra $ for the newer Silohoute 4. Thank you.

great! thanks! and the sofware is in the machine?

G'day, was looking to purchase one of these and was wondering if you would know how small you can cut with one of these? I need to make a lot of really small decal masks that will have dimensions down around the 3-4mm mark and If this baby can do it then I really regret not getting one years ago. Cheers.

Just wondering - can you scan the out of box decals direct and then develop the stencils from there??

I get my Portait deliverd today. Out of curiosity: What material do you use for your masks? I orderd the generic tamiya one out of not having any good information about "the way to go" yet.

Can you provide all the settings for cutting for the Silhouette cutter

Is this similar to a cricut?

I have the cricut Maker where can I find the Vinyl mask you are using i can't find it anywhere

You have a link for the low tack mask? That'd be super

Can you do a full demo of how you use the software?

One thing that has kept me from buying this machine is that nowhere could I find anything that could tell me how small it can create letters and numbers. You said 1/4" high so that tells me something right there. Thanks.

How you scale it to 1/48?

Build tanks instead. Fewer decals.

Why are you whispering?
