Chains

[Lady Ferguson]

I have a customer who's making a 1:32 scale block and tackle - does anyone have any tips on where he could buy a correctly scaled chain? Thanks

Thanks, Sean. I found plenty from Expo (one of my suppliers), but it's knowing what size to recommend for his needs \

I think mines a 3 mm link from memory , got it for a build I want to do plus a few other bits

I think Steve Flowers does chain, would be roughly 1:50 scale I reckon but would suit. Other than that, and what's already been suggested, cheap chain from a jewelry shop would be worth investigating. Something like this perhaps?

I think this stuff http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=7&subcategory=44&product=297

would be nearer the scale for a block and tackle.
