Hi Alex,
The construction is proceeding beautifully. Adding the sheeting really helps give perspective on the size of the fuselage. You should post a photo of the Radiance sitting in front of the Vortex to provide some size reference.

I have a few questions. The Vortex was designed entirely using some form of Auto CAD? The sheeting was applied using very 'old school' methodology. Is there a topographic feature in CAD that would allow you to map the surface of the Vortex? The 'map' could then be used to either laser-cut the fuselage sheeting or at least produce laser-cut templates which would facilitate construction repeatability. Just a thought.
