The completed frame looks really good, it will look even better once all the bracing wires are fitted.

Hi everybody!
my first brace (?) is done:

The idea that I have to do another 31make me quite scared...
I don't know if that way of representing the braces will be nearer from the real one that simple EZ line ...
