Looks so good, David. How did you mount the canopy? Canopy glue, filler, then paint?

Many thanks!! The canopy is attached with medium CA and one small gap in front was filled with white glue which dries clear. I used painted strips of masking tape across the top and then masked off the bottom and painted it. I had to use filler only in a couple of small spots at the very back and also at the front. Finally I cut the front framing in one piece from the masking tape. I do have, and sometimes use, canopy glue but I'll use CA if I can get away with it. The paint itself acts as a filler, as well and there's about six coats around the base.
