Get started in Cricut...

Here is another use for the Cricut. I bought a roll of reflective tape for cheap and cut safety stripes for modern rolling stock.

I have a Silhouette Curio which at the time I bought it was able to cut with greater force than the cricut and I've seen it used for cutting plastic sheet and with the appropriate tool embossing rivets. haven't had the chance to try that yet but here's a picture of what can be done with lining, the white is printable gloss vinyl cut on the Curio with the black being hand applied on the vinyl (before applying to the model) using Posca paint pens. The masking of the paint was done by cutting Tamiya masking sheet to size using the Curio (rivets by the way were from Archers Decals)
