Here it is in progress - the center is mostly riveted.
Picture for the FAA: yup, this is us.
After touching up the paint on a few of the parts - and getting a top coat on a few parts that have just been primed - we're just about ready to start riveting the canopy frame together. As we're looking over this thing, though, we've more or less determined that it's going to need to be painted again after it's all in one big piece. Funky shapes under here, and I suspect we'll scratch up the paint in places as we're trying to rivet it together.

Nothing really unusual about any of this - we're working from the center out, and (generally) getting the skin on before riveting the canopy frame stiffeners on. This seems to have worked well.
