Although the detail for the Bismarck has been superb i feel a little let down with the cheap jewelry they(and others)try to pass off as anchor chain so i've got some 'proper' chain from model dockyard and is a huge improvement.I got myself an ensign to fly from the mainmast while i was there. The bottom of the two chains is the one supplied and looks awful compared to the brass studded one from MD

That does look much better. I had a look at the site but there are dozens of chains so can you post the catalog or part No.
Many thanks, G..

In the Andrew it was always called a CABLE, thus the saying when you asked someone " do you know were so and so is " you would get the answer " He's down in the cable locker playing golf on the links" ;D

I have managed to locate the Artesania chain here in South Africa so if any of my fellow countrymen building this great ship require some please feel free to drop me a line.
i also have an extra set of JB Models turned barrels for the Bismarck!
