Next up on the agenda was this item. it looks like some sort of sledge or ground anchor. The kit just offered a hollow tub a bit like a wheel barrow with out wheels. The reference picture however showed this.

O I attempted to scratch something similar. Not 100% accurate but will hopefully add a little bit of interest. The snatch block I am very happy with the way it turned out.

That looks like a great improvement. However, a quick way to make it even better would be to remove the handles/frames/whatever on the sides and reduce them in height. You can see in the photo of the real thing that its legs are just long enough that the ends curve immediately, while in yours they run straight for a bit first.

I agree well spotted. It is probably my fault anyway I removed the hand rail to add the round bead around the edge but didn't reduce the height of if to compensate.
 
Even without that correction, it looks to me like they were moulded much too tall :)
 
So when are you going to start building the kit????
Not going to heap anymore praise on you as there is nothing more to say, it has all been said....
 
Sorry, Paul, nothing original to say. I can but re-iterate what has been said by the rest of the forum members.
