The lengths of chain would vary because there are so many different scale boards that are in use. What would be great is if a 5 in (that would be the max length that any field in use would be-i.e. McGhee 68 inch field) piece of chain was included that could be clipped on or hooked on on one end of the chain gang at varied lengths. I know that the model railroading hobby also has HO scale chains that would work also.

Will they be painted
 
Tom will they come painted, coaches that is. I'm looking for a silver haired Bill Walsh. A suit wearing Mike Nolan. A chubby looking coach for my Bum Philllips

Sorry no. The figures we sell are bare white metal. Painting is part of the hobby that many of our customers enjoy and each puts their own style in this.

However ... there are many miniature painting services out there. bluetablepainting.com is one example of one.

Okay 5 in ... got it.

Well ... if we get to this being one of the figures we try to do ... I think we could make 5 in chain happen.

Tom, just out of curiosity...what does a metal standard human figure weigh in grams?

11 grams

How much would these weigh? I only ask because on some boards, pending where you put the figures(with a magnet on them of course) it effects the vibration. Would these have magnets, or without? Sorry if I'm asking the wrong questions, I couldn't find a clear answer.
Thanks!!

A normal human white metal player is around 11 grams with base.

No magnets would be included ... however ... Impact! sells magnets on our site under basing supplies.

There are special rules/laws for shipping magnets so I doubt I could just ship a single magnet with each figure.

For the 10 Yard Chain sets I have been making I purchased some basic chain from Michaels Crafts.

Jewelry & Craft Essentials - Fashion Chain
Hirschberg Schutz & Co.

- very realistic and works pretty well in this scale.

The Chain Gang
 
BTW - Would love some figures to go with my chain gang sets.:)

Also what about athletic trainers, ball boys, Hoody Bellicheck, "Injured" players in sweat suits, players in "old school" parkas, players seated on heated benches, Gatorade table, Assitant coach with large whiteboard, TV sound guy with that huge clear sound disc, ref under the replay hood.
