HELP!!!! I need to model a complex curve (and I haven't two clues to rub together)!

Hello All!

Hopefully somebody can help me out/lend me a hand with this.

I'm scratch-building a 1/192 Iwo Jima Class LPH out of foamcore and cardstock, and I need to model her bow as simple (and neatly) as possible.

As you can see in the images here, the bow is rounded at the top, and has a tapered curve down to a knife edge just above the waterline.

At scale, her flight deck will be 6 1/4 inches wide, and stand 3/14 inches above her waterline.

Ideally, the inner structure will be a series of foamcore bulkheads/formers radiating outward like a wagon wheel to provide rigidity and strength.

I'd like to "skin" the hull with cardstock in as few pieces as possible.

Can anyone point me to a technique or provide a template which will help me finish this lady up right?
