Devil,
Go get some costume jewelery somewhere and use that. Just make sure you have a sense for the size of chain you need.

Lovely work Red. Only one tip: that curved cradle would have been a doddle to make out of metal. I used to be afraid to work with anything else than plastic, but sometimes it's the best thing for a job _ plus it's strong...

Hey boys,

Check out this kit that I found on E-bay, it is 1/12th scale but workable. You guys think it may work? If it does, Jeff (Streetfighterjeff) I'll send you some...

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if the 1/12th scale chain would work on that barrel lock I made? I know it is off scale but not by much. Thoughts...
