The workshop now has a division, Weta Tenzan Chain Maille, making chainmail for film work. PVC injection was used for the armor in Kingdom of Heaven, giving better results than the process for Lord of the Rings. Versions electroplated with a thin layer of metal have the same look as real chain mail, moves like metal at one third the weight, and is much cheaper. Aluminium or steel mail for high-impact stuntwork is also produced.

Famous quotes containing the word chain:
“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
