Dr PR Posted February 16, 2021 #494 Posted February 16, 2021 Very nice (as usual)! That is a very simple - if tedious - method to make the chain. Using photoguestimation based upon a wire diameter of 0.8 mm I calculate the links to be 5.4 mm x 3.4 mm (0.21" x 0.13"). I don't know if I want to try it for my 1:96 OK City build. Wire diameter would be about 0.6 mm (0.26") and the links about 3.96 mm (0.156") long. I have the soldering skill but I don't know if I have the patience! mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Keith Black and 3 others 6 Phil Current build: USS Cape MSI-2 Current build: Albatros topsail schooner Previous build: USS Oklahoma City CLG-5 CAD model
FriedClams Posted February 18, 2021 #495 Posted February 18, 2021 Fabulous work Valeriy - the hatch and chain both. The photo at #484 nicely shows how extraordinarily clean and precise your work is. I like your process for making chain and it provides a great result. Thanks for showing how.

Valeriy V Posted February 19, 2021 Author #496 Posted February 19, 2021 Cotrecerf, Keith, Phil , Gary ! Thanks for your comments! In fact, this process of making a chain is not complicated and does not cause any particular difficulties. Soldering the buttresses to the chain is a bit of a tedious task, but it is most suitable for long winter evenings. It took me two evenings to make these two chains. The most difficult part was cutting the buttress to the required length because it is very small. Phil, you've almost got your chain link sizing correctly - actually 4.8mm - 3.2mm. lmagna, popeye the sailor, Keith Black and 5 others 8
Tony Hunt Posted February 20, 2021 #497 Posted February 20, 2021 Such a clever technique to make the links. I love it. michael mott, popeye the sailor, FriedClams and 2 others 5
