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:
“It could not have come down to us so far,
Through the interstices of things ajar
On the long bead chain of repeated birth,
To be a bird while we are men on earth,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
