Hi there.
Not much to watch I'm afraid. Instead of having quick and relaxing build I managed to break the canopy :/

After multiple attempts during last couple of weeks and a lot of sanding & trimming, I managed to fit a vacuformed copy of the canopy.
It also got a layer of UV resin on the inside so should look way less foggy than on the pic #9 once everything is dry
