Rob......from Wikki people   :o ...
...."Tiger-class battlecruiser?...... it is not to be confused with Tiger-class fast attack craft or Tiger-class cruiser"
Do you have any image of the chain on the foredeck that you could use to approximate sizing for scaling?...............Derek

if your plans are show the chain well, put that section on a photo copier and enlarge it twice or four times, makes it easier to count the links per inch and then just divide..  finding a good photo with something of a known length near the chain can work also...

If it is any help, HMS Fearless, similar size vessel to the cruiser used 65mm dia stud link CC, about 2 .5 links to the foot. I know that because I put her in chains when she was put up for disposal.
