Ultra lazy-man "tip" on making a smooth canopy. I took the frame from a set of masks and put it down on the windscreen area. The I used it as a positioning guide....Not perfect, but a damn sight better than I was doing on my own. Now I can move on to other things.

Good idea, Lyle. "Any port in a storm!"

Thank you, kind sir! You bet...looke like a safe harbor to me.

That's a hell of a good idea

True...

You ever hear of Cole’s Law?

Its a tasty salad.

I have a silly question.
Why not paint the whole thing and then use the mask you used for positioning as a mask to paint the black windows?
Or am i missing something?

I thought it was "No plan ever survives first contact"

lol! that is a cracking idea Lyle, and it seems to have worked well!

Thanks, Stuart. We’ll see!
