Here's a partial view of an upcoming build (you can see the whole thing in the build thread, but this is the part that matters for this discussion):
It occurred to me recently that I have no idea how to create those mask lines. Although this OR render shows the fins outlines to be segmented, in the real deal they will be smooth curves.
I know this is going to be a lot of slow tedious work, so I'm not looking for an *easy* way to do it... I'm looking for a way to do it at all. The Tamiya tape I normally use certainly won't bend like that. I also want to avoid tape joints as much as possible, since they seem to be the most likely sources of bleeding. So what's the best way to attack this, if there actually is one?
