In response to #going2thedogs ' post on pylons I could not agree more! They are such an iconic and elegant part of our rural and rail landscape and yet the only models I have seen have been woefully clunky and -well, poor! Don Cameron of Cameron Balloons even modelled one as a ginormous hot air balloon, but it crashed years ago and is no more. We are very fortunate (well, I think so, other local disagree), to be on the line of the new Hinkley C connector line up yo Avon mouth just north of us so we have been able to watch the new T pylons under construction. They really are stunning and will be much easier to model well, especially by 3D printing. I promised to add some photos, so here they are, under construction. The ones on corners are chunky beasts
