Reviews : Osborn 20 Skids (wooden kit)

Much too difficult to assemble because the supposedly laser cut pieces are too small for these 50+ y/o eyes. I do admit I didn't pay close enough attention when ordering. I wanted something pre-assembled, and I didn't see the wooden kit part of the description. Nonetheless, even if I realized it was a kit when ordered, the parts don't separate from the sprue cleanly, ensuring half the product will be useless because of unintentional (and unavoidable) breakage. Someone with better eyes and a steadier hand might relish the challenge of assembling this kit, but that doesn't include me.

I purchased this item to add to my loading/unloading dock scene. I was a little taken back by the agility needed to construct these pallets due to the size; although with due diligence, major focus and concentration, and a pair of 3x magnifier readers I was able to say the end result was a worthwhile effort! They are very realistic and add a much needed element to any dock scene. I would look for an assembled pallet kit if you don't have the time and patience to construct the ones in this kit.

Excellent pack of pallets for a pretty good price. Can be easily assembled with plain old Elmer's white glue, and can add a lot of detail and interest to a scene. The completed pallets are very accurate to their real-life counterpart, and it is easy to add some variance to them if the modeler desires.
