Has anyone done a review on putting a top studio chain together with tips? I've seen the Top Studio tutorial on their website - but they don't really give any assembly tips. These chains look incredibly tedious. My biggest problem is getting the link side plates off of the PE sheets. If there is any remaining sprue nib left on the side plate they do not want to go close to each other. Anyone have a tip for side plate removal? I'm using a Tamiya PE cutter/scissors. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I've used the same PE scissors but also the Tamiya Diamant file. I had no problems cleaning all and I followed the tutorial. This except for the part to fix the linked parts together. The tuturiol says to use the 2 holes at the underside of the PE mal but I've used a pincet and a little hamer. I think this works much better. This gave a nice result on my bike.
