RGL Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share #169 Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I got myself some 3D printed chains (XY models). Top one is 1/350 and bottom is 1/700 which is perfect for this size ship. When you see massive chains on a small ship it looks all sorts of wrong. I have to replace the pipes an add chain stoppers yet. As you can see fro. The.
