Looks good, however, for future reference I'd recommend Fly-tying thread for fly fishing (different thicknesses) . They are thinner than the copper, but more importantly, easier to get tight.
I once used copper wire for mooring lines and you always seem to get some twist/bend in it. It's never 100% straight.
After using fly tying thread for bottle builds, I regret not using it for those mooring lines.
Difficult to see, but the crane wire on this one is done with fly tying thread.
In any case, a remarkable and unique build. Where did you find plans or drawings of the old Savannah?
