mine cost me £620 second hand and a few years old. it will cut 600mm wide though.
I dont have it for making masks obviously, but it does a good job of them.
needless to say if you make the artwork any sign makers can cut if for you.. I guess the masks you can get from the likes of team orion and xxx-main would be better than mine since they are in the proper masking material and probably a lot easier to apply. Ive never used any masks like this or really seen them before, i just drew the flames with a graphics tablet straight into illustrator and cut them.
you can print your artwork onto the (back of the) vinyl and cut it by hand, would work just as well as what ive done tho might take a few minutes more
Tis on the way paul, hope you like it ! make sure to mention that under no circumstances will i paint shells for people ! :jimmeh
heres the mask i made for pauls ride btw, not much thought went into it, i had to narrow it for the shell as i drew it twice as wide as this
