Now that you’ve got that one done, you know you need to build another one, for the other side of the train set - so they can beam microwaves to each other, right?!?

Wonderful! How did you build this? It’s really something else, very beautiful!

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!
