This was a very first attempt and I probably got a bit ahead of myself in my excitement.
Painting these crossarm assemblies was very easy so there‘s no real time savings in need of pursuit here.
I am back home for a couple days so I hope to get some time to perfect the design and assembly plan. I am definitely going with the separate insulator idea for these poles. Keep in mind these were some of the largest size clear green insulators that were in regular use. They were almost twice as large as a Hemingray 42 in all dimensions. That makes the scale versions real easy to handle. I really want to capture the look of the pin inside the insulator!
One of my plans is to model the upper third of these poles (including double arm and H fixture style) as one piece (crossarms with pins and supports). I hope to capture as much hardware detail as I can. The square washer detail on the first shots was very promising, showing this fairly inexpensive resin printer can resolve fine surface relief to my satisfaction. I would model the upper third of the pole, say about 75mm. I could print socketed pole extensions that I could stack to achieve height. I am limited to 175mm in the Z (vertical) axis so I have to be a little creative.
