Fat Brian Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I need to make a chain drive for a winch and I want to use something like bicycle chain. Its alright if it looks a tad big, it can be industrial or motorcycle chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Operating in 1/25 scale??? Way beyond my skill. Nothing is impossible....but it would require micro machining skills and equipment. A static Photo-etch would be within most folks ability but working....nothing off the shelf is close. There are some chain drives in HO scale model RR parts suppliers....but they would sill be huge in 1/25 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 I found something to suit my needs. I have a couple of those old AMT/MPC minibikes and one was missing one of the front fork parts but it has decent chain detail so it's gonna get cut up into a drive motor for a hydraulic pump.
