I.Martin Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Great news!! One question, is the chain included? Waiting for 1/48 ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Incredible. Just think, Cargo aircraft with vehicles tied down on the cargo floor, a pallet in a C-130 with supplies strapped down, or a big o;' 10,000 pound with its chutes strapped on. All sorts of possibilities, military and civilian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpagueur Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 excellent products norbert!! but where are the chains? :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think is only a matter of time before you will be able to fully 3D print a scale model completely painted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Those tie downs look incredibly awesome. I think 3-D printing is a revolution to this hobby. We are seeing the dawn of a new era. Looking forward to 1/48. excellent products norbert!! but where are the chains? :unsure:/> Chains can be sourced from model railroad or ship stores. They are available in various sizes and links per inch (LPI). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 WOW, very cool. They look awesome. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Chains can be sourced from model railroad or ship stores. They are available in various sizes and links per inch (LPI). which are the most suitable for the 1/32 scale? any example links? thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Micromark sells chain in various sizes and LPI. Not sure what size would be correct. Maybe someone who served as an aircraft handler would know the size and gauge of the chain used by the Navy. That would have to be converted to 1/32nd. Here's a link to Micromark's web page. http://www.micromark.com/SearchResult.aspx?deptIdFilter=0&searchPhrase=chain+for+models Edited April 4, 2016 by okthree Quote Link to post Share on other sites

norbert Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Hi Sill need your help guys, looking for the actual size of the chain link the real chain in the picture is a 40 links per inch chain, easy to find in train model shops. However, I would like to know what would the correct size be. Norbert Edited April 9, 2016 by norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About the chain, I think it should be smaller >> PIC << I.Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yes exactly that chain, I'm looking for the link dimension, diameter, length, high... Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I would like to know what would the correct size be. Norbert I think it is correct regarding the length/width of the single ring of the chain, maybe it only has to be slightly thinned in diameter.

norbert Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I found link wire diameter is 7.3 mm? The link location inside the tie down is 1" wide, so the small outside diameter (or link high) should be a little smaller as there should be some clearance. I'm still looking for the link length Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 hi Norbert, when do you think the tie downs with the chains will be ready? Or do we have to buy only the tie-downs without the chains? If you are going to print the chains also I can wait again. also I need 1-2 figures for my Super Hornet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
