[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 7248, member: 123"] Maybe find a roll of heavy craft/wrapping paper. It'll be easier to form it along the sides of the hull for a rough template, sketch a line with a pencil of the shape, then "finesse" it to the final shape and trim with scissors. Just a recommendation, and easier than working with cardboard. Another way you could try would find a pair of dividers (or a school compass with pencil, lay the paper or cardboard close to the hull sides, place the pointy end of compass along the hull, then "trace" the hull shape onto the paper with the pencil portion. Just another thought. [/QUOTE]
