I have a very newbie question. I can do the drawings on my PC and I have an excellent color printer. My question is, how do I get these drawings on plastic sheet accurately? Do you use special kinds of oens or something. Also, do you just cut the plastic with a regular hobby blade? I just want to try my hand at simple things like boxes and crates and simple geometric shapes like that. Hope somebody can help me out.

Easiest solution is to glue or tape the paper directly to the sheet palstic. Then cut thriugh the paper. Yup, best way to cut is with a hobby knife.

And stack several sheets together to make several similar pieces, especially boxes, which are hard to make line up square if you cut them separately.
