Nice one Splash. One advantage I have is my daughter, as she ages, passes on her costume jewelry chains to me.

I will continue with the Crab build over on my work bench.

I looked at PE chains but thought they looked a bit flat so I’m trying a small scale ship building technique of platting three pieces of fine copper wire it’s not accurate but does give the illusion of chains

See you all over on my work bench
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Sorry but due to having friends staying over, I've managed to miss your efforts here, Alan. Great job with the "Tulip" and I've started to watch your continuing work on the flail tank over on the WW section. Those plaited wire chains are a fantastic improvement over the frankly quite dreadful OOB efforts!

These look really great. Always been a sucker for the Firefly, more so now I see that they were loaded for bear with those rocket rails.
