Hi, reymond:
Perhaps you could try Chris Fullmer's Component Stringer? Otherwise, some would suggest making a texture with that much detail.
The link to Chris's tool: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23616.
Also, check in the plugins index under sdmitch--maybe.

I've seen the tutorial. but somehow I get baked it.
can someone help me there?

I'm sorry reymond, but I cannot decipher the phrase "...get baked it." I do know that you must set the component in a particular orientation in order for it to be "arrayed" along the chosen path, or stringer.

or can I do this with a uv map? and if so, who can tell me how?

hmm ........ any ideas, help or other considerations?
