Mini Honest John Build Part 20 Body Roll Pattern



For a reference, two copies of the HoJo body decal were printed on 20 lb. paper, not decal stock.
One was used to keep track of the roll pattern. The top third of the second sheet was cut off and wrapped around the body for a spacing guide.



This took more time than I thought it would.
The cut upper third of the print was taped around the body tube. The lower bands were applied first.

Going back and forth from the Alway drawings, most all of the vertical stripes on the lower half were placed. The wrap guide was taken on and off as needed to apply the longer pieces.
After the lower pieces were in place, the upper pieces were set down by sighting up the body tube from the rear.
The black Contact paper allows for initial placement, lifting and replacement until everything is lined up.
