Hi All,
Does anyone else think the pulley blocks are too big or am I being too pedantic about their size?
Has anyone done a work around?

I do not recal anybody reworking these althogh it could easily be done scratch build with plastic card. You are correct that they are a little over size. If you want to go down thoat rout I am sure many would be interested in you solution. Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

They are of a scale to make them more manageable, but as Karl says, you can source closer to scale if you wish.

Haven't got the pulley blocks yet, but I think it's a bit cheeky when you have to buy parts after having splashed out big bucks for this model.Just sayin'.

Hi Sinbad, the parts supplied will enable you to build a first class model without the need to go buying additional parts... however, there are builders, myself included who decide to try and add that little bit extra detail and who choose to source additional items to achieve a build that includes some personal touches.... Every builder makes their own choice but the standard of parts supplied is in my opinion first class.... Regards Regards Alan
