Hello Everyone,

We are pleased to announce that Echelon FD will very soon be able to offer custom masking service to the modelling community!

What it means is if you have a set of markings you would want to mask and spray, we'll be able to cut the masking film for you. You'll need to provide the necessary artwork info (image, dimensions, size, etc). There will be limitations to the minimum / maximum size of the stenciling of course, but it should get most of the job done. More details about this will come when we are ready to go.

Armor, Aircraft, Helicopter, Ship/Boat, Cars, and even Sci-Fi (your own unique design?) modellers will now be able to enjoy this service.

Erizemen, I now have the solution to your Black Knights! :-)

Cheers,

Lawrence :-)--

Ermmm.... Time for an update. Unofficially, I'm able to do custom masking now (heck I've been doing it almost every other day for my current mask range).

Now, I'm able to take custom projects, both locally and overseas.

Before proceeding with any project there are some things you ought to know first:

1) The artwork cannot be too fine - do check with me first (show me an image of what you propose to do). Details like fine stenciling or intricate artwork cannot be done due to the limitations of the cutter. This is of course depending on scale - the bigger the scale, the greater the possibility of it happening, even for stencils.

2) You need to prepare the artwork yourself before the project can start. The format needs to be vectored based line drawings (created using CorelDraw, Illustrator, Freehand, etc). Get someone who can do it for you. Photoshop, jpeg images ain't going to help at all. Or if you need help to get the vectored artwork done through me, there will be a fee charged by the hour. Coz, this is the most tedious of the entire mask creation process.

If you got have any further inquiries, do let me know.
