After yesterday's progress, I turned the block elements of the structural trusses into actual, detailed trusses. They are detailed, and we're not about details yet, but I really needed to see what delicate structures would look like. They took a couple of hours to lash together; they're not accurate, but are close enough at first look.

Do the rings need to be rebuilt so that the framework gauge matches the straight trusses? Probably. It always looks a lot better when truss frames have a consistent size, but I will investigate. It could be that so long as all the rings match, that's enough.
I'm reasonably happy with the results, but now I see how the masts are screaming to have a working mechanism, so that they can fold in. It will be last year's rigging torture all over again? Hopefully not!
