Great Big Cardboard Box?

That's what I thought, until I came to the second B!Great Big Cardboard Box
Or maybe some super cheap 2" wide masking tape from a DIY store or Halfords cut to shape. Stick it to your trousers a few times to reduce the tack of the adhesive.and as Ian M suggested I need to cut some shapes in paper to save on the tape
The finest I've seen is 3M Fine Line Striping Tape (06314) which can produce multiple 1/16" wide parallel stripes. Might still be too big for model use though.Nice paintjob, especially the masking.
I'm surprised none of the modelling suppliers seem to have lining tape, like that used by 1:1 customisers - it's a strip of masking tape with a removable strip in the middle, so you stick the whole thing down then remove the central strip, leaving a narrow unmasked line. The narrowest I've seen is 1/8 inch though.
