INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip this archive to the "SteamApps\[USERNAME]\team fortress 2\tf\" directory and content should be placed automatically.

In a map, these work best if you disable the prop's shadows & self-shadowing, make the props NON-SOLID, and place a similarly
coloured light entity at their center with a brightness of ~8-10.

This is an original model created with XSI Mod Tool and Adobe Photoshop CS.


USAGE:

You are free to use this in any Team Fortress 2 map, including contest-related maps (if contest rules allow custom content).

Do not modify or redistribute without asking me first.
