Infantry scale modelling chain?

[Lucerne]

What's an economical, good looking way to get modelling chain for, say, bolter straps, or to decorate Marines with?

 

I hear shops like Michaels will have model chain, but what scale should I be getting, and is there a particular brand or keyword to keep in mind?

I just tend to use cheap jewelry chain, at a size that looks ok for what I plan to use it for

 

used some recently on this guys waist:

Um, can you tell me if there's any label for the thickness you used/how you prepare the chain for the miniature/painting?

I just tend to judge by eye, use old chain from necklaces collected over the years. Use small clipper\pliars to get right length then carefully superglue,prime and paint.

I have a pack produced by the company Master Tools. 

 

It has two chain sizes with link dimensions of:

 - 1.5mm long x 0.8mm wide

 - 2mm long x 1.1mm wide

 

I think the scale for infantry miniatures is pretty spot on. It seems to be pretty widely available online.

Greenstuff world do 1.5mm chain, which is a good size for standard minis. The 1.5mm is on the top, 3mm on the bottom.
