My first build of one of those delicate old beauties and definitely not my last one. Had to learn how to paint wood and how to build the rigging. I used simple nylon thread and brass pipes for the rigging, and some Gaspatch turnbuckles where appropriate. I had expected more problems with it but it went like a charm.
