Does anyone know how wide the pinstripes are on Jango's helmet? I'm scratch building one for my six-year old using WOF A4 templates. Thanks in advance for any help!
When I size up a BKBT's helmet dimensions to ref. pics, I get a little under 1/8" for the pin striping. However, 1/8" is easier to find in most local auto parts stores. I have to special order the 3/32" striping tape I use from our local auto paint store. I might have to try the 1/8" tape one of these times.
Since the bucket is for my six-year old, and I'm doing it on the cheap, I used a straight edge to cut the pinstripes out of electrical tape. I cut them at 1/8 inch, but as they stretched a bit when I applied them, the finished thickness was actually 3/32. So, if you're painting them, 3/32 is probably correct, and if you're using decals, 1/8 seems like a good start. I guess, technically, everybody's right!
