Passed the validator: real scale, rests on y = 0, front faces +Z, deterministic.

Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/lookout-post.mjs';

const lookoutPost = createAsset();
scene.add(lookoutPost);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z

// 'pennant' pivots on its hinge: -60° to -20° around y
lookoutPost.getObjectByName('pennant').rotation.y = THREE.MathUtils.degToRad(-60);
