Nice deal!

The hubs are supplied with see thru blue tape around the curves of the hub shell, so that you don’t damage the finish with the threads if your inbound spokes whilst threading up. You peel it thru the spokes once you’re finished. So maybe add a layer of gaffer around the shell (maybe with a film of grease under to stop the glue being sticky-onny later.)
Otherwise just crack on! I love building wheels, sometimes I think I build bikes just so I can build some more wheels.

Bought a Son Deluxe hub, nearly new, for £115!
time to get building.
I've never built a wheel before, is there anything specific to building a dynamo front I should know?
