The chain is from Kyosho, and it's made for big scale RC motorcycles. Thankfully it comes assembled, but it is pretty easy to press the pins out and shorten it up, or to join for longer lengths. The number is GP 15. Kinda pricy, but very accurate for my scale and I don't need a lot. Shop around, the prices vary a lot.

I got a little time in and worked on the brass front section. Everything is bolted and/or soldered together.

These are the Shapeways castings with some brass wire truss rods. I just drilled them out, assembled and soldered the parts. I really don't care for working with metal. I don't have the skills or tools.

Come on over then!
You can play with my metalworking tools. In return you can teach me Solidworks and some weathering skills.  ;D

Finally got the hoist frame assembled, textured and primered.  Nice to get some modeling done.



The texture is JB Weld sponged on, and then lightly sanded when dry. I also used JB Kwik for touch ups.
