well she is done. the wire is a bit heavy (22 gauge,) so I'm gonna replace it with some motor winding wire (30 gauge) shortly. I also added a "comet" bar to keep the wires separated. the model was tipped to its side when I first strung it, so I added washers to the inside of the "B" section on one side until it was balanced.
