Thanks chaps.
I'm printing off a few more arms and buying some bamboo skewers at work tonight. I may be pushing this too far but I also have a few metal foot rest thingies for the sides of the post in the printer - but they may be a bit too fine. In which case I'll go back to bent staples.

I drilled quite a few skewers this morning ready to accept the foot rests on the telephone poles and set up a print for some extra long arms for typically northern double poles.
Overnight I had a rerun of some recently acquired figures. Tried a different, higher resolution, resin which requires a slightly longer exposure. Quite happy with the result - new resin on the left.

A couple of variations on a theme.

I'm still contemplating printing the entire structure rather than assemble from parts. The footsteps are a pain to fix (and way over scale) but I'm worried that they would be too fragile.

How about an 'A' pole, very common.
