RE: Wire-braced structure
Go to RCScalebuilder.com, set up an account so that you can lurk for free. Click on the 'community' tab and then scroll down and click on 'Proctor' in the kits section. There are many very fine examples of what you are searching. Some of the builders follow the Proctor kit instruction and some have their own methods. Good luck. You can see some example I have if you look at my Gallery page on this site.
