You have got to be kidding! Even in 1/700 scale, I had a hard time seeing these in the photo until I expanded it! I can’t imagine putting them together to make a chain. You’d need a microscope, and a fine pair of very skinny tweezers. Cutting them out of the sheet would be a nightmare! They’d probably look great though, if you didn’t go blind trying to put them together😆!

A couple of other PE manufacturers have produced similar, but I haven't seen any modelers using them. Must be a death wish for Snowman!
