Hard Surface - 1963 Fishing Pole
Hello once again fellow polycounters, I recently got back from vacation at my lake house in Minnesota and I came across my grandfathers fishing pole and realized how awesome of an asset it is, ranging from unique shapes for hard surface, and unique materials for texturing, so I figured hey... why not model this bad boy… -
