I think I'll still play this one even if it doesn't win 
The idea is that it was put in long after the mansion was built.
Don't I know it.
Yes, that's my basement. It's a 130--140 now?--year old stone farm house. Its almost to the point where there's more "utility" down there in the rafters than "rafters." Mind, none of it shows upstairs, there've been enough modern renovations adding walls that there's space for it all (though the power/phone lines in my room run inside a base board).

Either the trunks are unusually thick or the canopy is unusually small. At least that's the feeling i get.
@ coagulated
My point was the prop is an industrial one which looks out of place in any other theme. You wouldn't see this kind of switch installed into a mansion. It would be smaller and more stylish (regardless of whether it was installed pre or post construction). Industrial switches like the one seen here are designed to take heavy punishment from the environment they exist in, such as a warehouse where large objects are transported/stored and might damage the wires if such things were to fall or catch them; it simply wouldn't be used in an elequent home. If one can afford a mansion, one can assume the occupent can afford a set of retro light switches; and if the wires had to be exposed on the outter wall they wouldn't be covered in a thick plain metal tube, they would be pinned to the wall with staples (like: this).

It kinda sucks that there are only a few decent modellers on the TF2 scene that would take on collab projects.
Whilst i imagine each map gets judged on their own merits i can't help but feel that privately hogging one of said modellors puts an unfair handi-cap into play.

I'm just being a sour grape here, but the sheer quantity of models this one map is getting is making me something of a green eyed monster.
Don't get me wrong, both you individuals are bringing amazing things to the TF2 table. It's just a shame this circumstance can't be shared by more people.

I've had many PMs and messages asking for permission to use my models in their artpasses. I've said yes to all of them. I've even made models for people specifically for their artpass entries. I'm in no means holding out against anyone. Those who've asked of me have received.
And for anyone who wants to know: 60 mb of materials, and that isn't expected to grow any larger.
