A curving barber pole??
-
It's hard enough to do a stripes design, like on a barber pole ... but I've got one even harder. The pole is curved. Here is a photo and a model to show what I mean.
I have to model it, but this one has me stumped. Does anybody have an idea how to approach it?

That picture is lousy and I can't tell what it is you are actually after. Can you come up with a better photo?
And are the bolt heads supposed to be on surface or angled as you have them?
Is this what you're after?
-
I'm only concerned about that part with the diagonal stripes, not the bolt heads or overall shape. The stripes are on a separate part, a cylindrical rib that runs along the outer edge of the fin. Like this ...
Thanks!

What's the diameter of the cylindrical rib?
-
4"

Something like this but bigger? I didn't see your dimension until after drawing this but I don't have time to redraw it right now.
-
Thanks Dave. I figured out what to do!
-
Yeah. But was I on the right track?
And how did you decide to do it?
-
Yes, that was exactly what I wanted ... but the design changed and got much easier. Thanks anyway!

I guess there's not much to do when the design changes.
