Looking for Chain?


Recently we were moving my son to Rochester NY to start life as a freshman at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) (a very impressive school BTW). As my son is into Warhammer 40K, while we were in Rochester we stopped in at Millennium Games, a Warhammer 40K purveyor located a couple of miles from campus. While browsing a great selection and chatting with the friendly staff, I ran across a product that will be useful in my modeling for scenes where I need chain. It's from Gale Force 9 and the product is 1.5mm chain (Gale Force 9 part number GFS103 Hobby Round: Iron Chain (1.5mm) and the package is 2 meters of chain on a spool. Very inexpensive -- here's a photo. In 1:64 scale it works out to approximately a 1 1/4" chain.  Looks like it would be great for securing flat car loads, use around a farm or shop for heavy duty needs, etc. And when the chain is all used up, the remaining items look to be useful as well -- the spool (perhaps as another load) and plastic case with screw top (for storage). Check it out at Millennium Games or your local wargaming hobby shop...
