Bend it like Buckles

[bobs_buckles]

 

If there is enough interest, I hope to produce rounded masking strips from thin flexible vinyl that the modeller can cut to their desired length. I think these will help with all those bendy jobs we modellers love to engage in ;-)

Cheers,

I would be interested in curved tapes - I have used your "strippers" and found that they flex a little to make curves as long as the radius isn't too tight.

I'm sorry Bo, I misread your post to read "sticky French curvy strippers"..

I think I need a sit down and a cup of tea

Hi Bo,
Is this what you're getting at?

Very cool idea, Bob!  Looking at the last photo, I would think concentric ovals would give you the most 'usable' variations.

Yeah!  That's what I'm talkin' about!  Put me down for some of those.  I'll be doing Barker's Snipe in 1/48 scale in the near future and plan on painting the stripes.  These will make things a bit easier.

Cheers,
Bud

Why not both / all?

I wouldn't mind all of those sets. The french curves (burmeister molds?) are still in use by me to draw and cut all kinds of curves out of masking tape. But a set of these curved tape lining is a very attractive addition to my set of equipment.

Back at school I had drawing lessons on a large drawing board using a mark hook (?) and large transparant triangles. I still have to master autocad or something similar.
