Line Poles update - O scale

[NW Modeling List]

Now, who will loan me a Kohs & Co Y6b for a photo-op once I get a pole
assembled and painted? 🙂  The crossarms are a 1/2 inch over-sized,
because I couldn't tell which was which when I printed both and it was
significantly more resilient to snapping.

The braces are even prototypically thin, and lean back to the pole, from
the front of the crossarm, as on the prototype.

Insulators are based on real insulators from diagrams provided to me by Abe

Check out that bolt detail. And, it all printed fine. Man, I am jealous of
O scale.
That chamfer you see on top of the crossarms is prototypical. It makes
sense for rain-shedding purposes.

These next two pics are my first batch and the white residue is resin that
did not get rinsed off the model properly before I put them in the UV
curing station. It's kind of like when toothpaste dries on your clothes.
You can scrape it off with a knife blade, your fingernail, or even fine
sandpaper.
