So my wife and I were browsing in a local jewelry/craft store this weekend and I came across a great idea...chain by the inch. They sell all manner of link sizes and shapes by the inch, which could very easily be used to replicated one-piece molded chain that sometimes comes with some armor models.
Anyway, if you have a store local to you that sells beads and things, chances are hey have something like this. Might be worth checking out.
PS - Don't forget your respirator, that incense is strong stuff!
