I've been thinking about pinstripes a lot lately. My toolbox, which we featured a few Saturdays ago, sits next to me all the time, and since it got a little decoration I've started to appreciate this art more and more. Its not a skill that I really thought would translate well to 1:25th modelling, though I've seen it done. Just the thickness of the lines would be a limiting factor in doing something cool, I'dve thought.
Turns out, the problem was me. I was thinking like a model maker and not a pinstriper. A pinstriper doesn't care about scale, he just cares about sick looking symmetrical lines, like those on this awesome 50s (I think?) tin plate car, striped by Nefarious Pinstriping. Too cool
