Extremely Realistic Utility Poles
Utility poles are the sort of detail that often gets left out of many model railroad layouts, one reason is they are hard to model in a realistic way... especially trying to model the power lines that run between the poles.

In this tutorial I'll show you an easy way to make great looking utility poles and I'll also show you just how easy it is to model not only the wires between the poles but also how to add LEDs to take the realism to a whole new level.

The 3D printer gets used a bit in this tutorial so if you'd like to download the files to use you'll find them in the link below. Also don't worry if you don't have a 3D printer at home because I'll also show you where you can send files to be printed for you...
