Definitely. The only real problem I've always had with telegraph poles are the wires. I really cannot sort out how to make them stay realistically apart from depicting them broken.

Simples; space the poles accordingly but make sure the outer ones aren't too far from the base's edges. Use a single piece of slender but rigid wire running from one side to the other extending until the base finishes. If you have a large space at the side it will sag so just make sure the protruding ends are short.

That's exactly the problem I find. I was hoping there was a solution other than the one you said.

Nonetheless telegraph poles add something to a diorama, IMHO.

Lots of uses here.
