All pieces comme off easily without a knife, align perfectly. Nothing to say.
The ribs have a little loose in the zigzag joint. I decided to glue them in the middle of
Of the outer to inner distance. I joined a picture of a trick to make things square :

Welcome to SOS, Guillaume! It’s great to see another Soleil Royal taking shape here — I’ll be following your build with great interest. I’ve admired several of your previous builds; they are truly beautiful. I’m also building the Soleil Royal from AL and look forward to exchanging and sharing information along the way. I have far less experience myself, and my build is a bit "experimental", so there is plenty for me to learn. Wishing you a very enjoyable and rewarding build!

Allô Koedec!! It's nice to know someone is building the SR at the same time! I'm looking forward to exchange with you about the build or other things.
Do you speak French? I'm From Montréal.

I like to follow also, because my SR will be one of my next projects from the shelf. ;)
And I do not speak French. :(
Like many others that like to follow.
