You certainly get points for being methodical.

Still, you may want to leave time for a bit of fairing the ribs after they are glued in place.

In fact, I generally try to get my ribs reasonably well worked out, then glue them and finish most of the fairing in place. I find I can make quick progress with a long file once everything is set in place and also that it helps to test the work with a long flexible strip of wood to "see how she flows" from time to time as I work.

Keep up the good work!
