Hand buffed wood poles? What type of shows do you do?

Well we had polished poles, but Skibbe can't stay off them...  :P

Atta boy Ed and Ian, that's the RailWire hazing I come to expect and you guys deliver.  8)

The legs are actually made of Canadian hardwood maple and coated in seven layers of hand buffed varnish.

The poles have wires but they are koala thread stretched to scale and nearly invisible.

And Hans Zimmer was so busy he only had time the write 2 minutes of music for us. So we asked John Williams to help out next time. Yanni and Kenny G were busy.

Now where did I leave my beer...

Next one could use some Hot Fuzz style camera work.

I WANNA SEE THE BOAT MOVIE!

Wow, pretty cool video. Personally I liked the dramatic music.

Will the next release be playing in IMAX theaters?  First chance I had to watch the video as it wouldn't play on my Kindle Fire (one of the few that won't).  That is without a doubt THE best model video I've seen!  Also, the music is great!  What is the name of the music that you used?  Anxiously awaiting the next video.  Please make it soon!

Paint your legs, ya hacks.

Painted legs look bad after they get dinged up, and stick in the leg pockets.  Keep hiding your woodworking skills under latex!  :P

+1 on this. When I was doing HO modular we were required to paint our legs forest green and the damn things stuck in pockets every damn time. I have mine all unpainted, and they are just hidden by the skirting.
