Upon completion, place the pieces B, as required in the manual, done that, wipe gently with white glue (diluted) with a brush, so that the pieces do not fall, wait for 1 or 2 minutes.

Place parts 5 and 7, in the space that's left side, put the last piece B, and also pass a little glue, and place the part 30, hold firmly with your fingers, redo the other side.

Now place the screws for fixing, place the finished part on the base metal, and with a small hammer, make soft hits on all pins, note that all tips of the pins were slightly dented thus locking the links.

Remove all the screws, and remove the template, note that the current transmission will be stuck in the play, with a tool tip, emprurre until they drop completely.

To make the amendments of the parties, carefully open the internal links, and place the center pin, then tighten carefully with tweezers.

Open slightly the other link also make the amendment, tighten carefully with tweezers, bend the chain, and hold with tape, leave feedback reassembled, put this junction following the step 11 of the manual, and tap the hammer for fixation.

Make all seams, and put on the motorcycle. To make the final closing, redo the last step, taking care as the current transmission will be in the motorcycle.

I hope to have helped a little to friends. This is my way of doing transmission chains, may not be the best, but it worked until now.

Sandro

This will be a big help to everybody Sandro. Thanks!

Sandro - Thank you very much for doing the tutorial for the Top Studio chains
Much appreciated
John

Nice WIP, thx !!

Thanx !!!!!

excellent review.
May i add, that it is easier to start with the 'gold' color chains, than with the 'silver' color chains, which are a bit harder to handle due to extra stiffness

wim

Thanks for this tutorial.
In your tutorial seems "easy", but im sure that only the best modelers can do something like that.

I tried this chain before and gave up on it. The biggest problem was the glue, I used. It just didn't hold the pins and links together well enough before the taping. Also the taping methodology has to be correct. Why? Because some links were good while others didn't close enough and the chain became undone. Also, too much taping and you will damage the chain and may not be flexible enough to go around the sprocket.

Is the white glue, Elmer's glue or another brand? How diluted is the white glue? 50%-50%? I assume is diluted with water, is it? Let us know. I may give it a try again.

Such a great tutorial, it deserves to be kept at the top.
