The silver paint u can actually ask Bradberry00. He has a real scope Compac and helped me with that detail. It’s apparently just engraved into the saddle taking the black paint off (if I followed correctly) leaving the silverLooks great! As you know I've been craving these little grey numeric details on my GK saddle for years. Not sure if I can bring myself to do this scope for a FIFTH time, though . Might I ask ... why the silver paint underneath unless you plan to weather it a bit more?
Also, I have a plethora of the proper brass screws for these, if you'd like some!
I have an older Silhouette, picked it from from a gal at work (only $60! She’s always buying new craft gadgets). I’ve used it for masks a lot of times - I did the scratches on my DL-44 with it (can dig up pics, maybe you remember?), as well as the markings on a 1/350 Enterprise and a few other things. It can kind of cut styrene too, but not super clean. Very useful otherwise though! I’m not sure if the newer machines are that much better for this purpose.I am looking to get a vinyl cutter to create stencils for blaster props that I build. Ive noticed that a lot of people use them for lightsabers, blasters.. pretty much everything really. I was curious to hear some suggestions on whats a good place to start. Silhouette cameo or Cricut Explore Air 2 (&or maker) are two that I have been lookin into. Anyone have any experience with these or have a suggestion on what to use to create some vinyl sticker templates? Looking for some advice or suggestions. Much appreciated.
