    Yeah the wife's one was £300, can do pretty complex shapes, have found vectors work the best but generally any picture that has pretty clean lines.

    Must have been the later model they brought out. The wife has had this one a while. Think it was the first version which is limited

    I have an old C200-20 Craft Robo I used to use for bike helmets and stuff. Great little machine for the money, cuts well down to pretty small resolutions too!

    And that will cut anything as long as it's something like a vector image?

    Do you mean Cricut buddy? My wife has one she uses in her day job. "Sure Cuts a Lot" software, neat little tool.

    That's the fellow. Nice bit of kit but the version the wife has will only cut patterns from a cartridge or the website.

    Do you know if Josh makes them to order and can he be contacted via FB?

    If you join my FB page : geartechcustompaint and look through the albums he is tagged in on the ones with the helmets in. He usually makes them to order. If people want them painting he post direct to me when they are made.

    Is the Facebook ban going to ruin the forum?

    I'll openly admit I came to the forum after the clamp down on FB. I started out with the paint business just over 12 months ago and the sales side kind of happened unexpectedly. FB was a great selling platform and it was easy to keep up with what was happening in the UK airsoft community as all the pages were very active. With recent changes I was suddenly struggling for an outlet. I hadn't got a web site up and running as FB was keeping me busy enough. Sales had grown pretty rapidly with January being the best month I'd had so far. The paint side of things had taken on a life of its own with people recommending me as soon as someone mentioned they were looking for someone to spray something so it was plain sailing.

    Someone recommended the forum and having been a supplier to the WWII renenactment crowd some years ago I knew they could be a good place to make your self known if you were prepared to put in the time and keep an active appearence.

    I don't think it will be a bad thing if there is a sudden influx. You will always get the odd noob but that happens in any hobby. I know that forums can be bitchy when they aren't monitored carefully by the admins and I think that is why FB became so popular. I would like to work with those who run the site as it could be a good platform. My name is getting out there but its not one that everyone thinks of at the moment when they are looking for new kit. Forums aren't for everyone and there are enough retailers out there who are big enough that they don't need to plug themselves at every given opportunity. Guess we will see what happens.

    Got to ask, whats the name of those face shields on the fast helmets? Anyone know please?

     

    They are made by a lad on FB by the name of Josh Perry. If you join my FB page: geartechcustompaint and find the album with them in you will see he is tagged in. He usually sends them direct to me if the customer asks for a paint job.

    I'll have a word. We do try to bring the best deals we can and are usually cheaper than anyone else in the UK. Not much wiggle room on pistols sometimes and the odd assault rifle we get caught out on. Won't find better deals on support guns.
