1/25 bicycle chain

Expert craftsmanship never gets old. Fussee movements can still be found in some of the most expensive mechanical watches. There are train modelers who use fussee chains to operate various mechanisms in their layouts. Top Studio makes what is essentially PE fussee chain for detailing motorcycles. Unfortunately, it's 1/12 scale and reeeeeaaaaalllllly expensive.

If I wanted such a thing, I'd go to Michaels and see what's available in the dollhouse section, and in the "make your own junk jewelry" section, and then see if there were anything suitable as "edging" or whatever they call it in the fabric crafts section. (I've seen some stuff there that would make better braided fuel line, just for example, than anything I've seen sold for that purpose in hobby shops.)

You never know what you'll find if you look a little.

I have Grandt Line delrin chain, the smallest I could find, which is still too wide and thick for the brake cable for my 1/16 Bugatti, and would be too big for a 1/24-25 bicycle. That Top Studio motorcycle chain looks possible for my needs, but I'd sure have to check actual size before I spent the money.

I'm building a 1/9 scale Protar Raleigh bicycle and it needs a better chain than what's in the kit. I saw the Top Studio chain and figured it might scale out about right, so I bought one for a reasonable price off Ebay.

Looks like a crazy thing to put together, but I think I've finally worked up the nerve to tackle it. Report soon!
