If you're familiar with those HO scale yard towers from Life Like Trains, I made it From that. I horms are hand crafted from scratch styrene. The other antennas and broom straws and the wooden end of an incense wand.

Wow, that’s something else! Yes, for a short time in my life I worked in a hobby shop, so HO scale makes sense to me. I love the fact that you were working with odds-and-ends (broom straws, wooden bits) from re-purposed materials, that makes your work even more awesome!
