Hey guys, I posted these on the TFW2005 thread but figured there might be some people that would like to get a look at the custom chains I did:



You want 4mm X 8mm screw bails like this: 100 Craft Jewelry Silver Toned Screw Eye Connector/ Bail Eyelet Extender Finding | eBay

And some 4mm wide steel chain like this:2-5mm 12-36" Silver Tone Men's Stainless Steel Necklace O Chain US520616 | eBay

Then all you have to do is get a very small drill bit. You can get a set made by Dremel that contains a VERY thin bit that I used. Just slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw threads on the bail. Drill in, then thread the bail in. I also took the bail back out so I could sand and sort of buff the plastic so you can't see where I cut the chain off. Pretty easy. This plastic is kinda waxy and actually sands pretty easy. 320 grit followed by 600 grit and literally used my t-shirt to buff the plastic smooth. then I put the bails back in and it looks pretty much factory.

For Michelangelo's kusari-gama I originally put a matching 25 links on the chain like the toy but 35 works better I think. I also stepped his chucks up to seven links instead of five. Works better. Did Donnie's three piece bo with new chains as well and replaced the blade on his bladed bo with a spare short blade I took off of one of Leo's short swords. It was a spare because I accidentally made a white stress mark at the base of the blade when I was trying to take it out of the package.





Anyway, there's the mod guys. Spread the word for an easy chain upgrade to your weapons. ^_^
