Thats the big problem. Even as big as 1/14 scale seems, truly scaled down items are tiny and hard to handle. I use chain for tiedowns that has links 1mm in diameter. That scales to over 1/2 inch diameter in the real world. Unless you are trying to tie down something really massive most guys are going to use 3/8" chain. Simply too small to use at scale size if you could even find it.

Looks like your turnbuckles are using 3mm screws? Close to 1 3/4 inch in real world, pretty **** stout.
