Two years ago after seeing a MRH TV episode on Cricut cutting machine I decided I had to have one. I was going to use it to cut many things and then I even didn't take it out of the shipping box. At first I just didn't want to go through the learning process. Later I learned that it wasn't as good as it was being portrayed. So it sat on a shelf until few days ago.
The reason for this change of heart was that I needed to paint the tires for the truck that was included with the Chippys. I could have done it with a paintbrush, but those wheels are small and painting just the tires on them without messing up entire wheel isn't very easy task. I thought I would do a better job if I could use a mask and an airbrush. However, cutting the mask by hand with such accuracy is nearly impossible and very time consuming. Using a liquid mask is pretty much the same as painting the tires with a paintbrush. Then I remembered the Cricut and decided to bite the bullet and at least try it. After several hours I had my wheel masks cut out. I have yet to see how well the masks did the job since I did airbrushing late last night. If everything went well I will have the truck done in a week or so. The rest is already finished.
