Sounds great. I imagine a person who was really thinking ahead might go you one better, though, and lay out the forms for stations 6 and 11 so that they could use the scrap for their cradles. Or to put it another way, they cut the cradles and use th part they have cut out as a station form. They are going to cut a bit over the mark anyhow, so by the time they smooth the edges on the form and on the cradle piece they'll have maybe 1/8th to 3/16 inch difference between the form and the outline -- not as much as the 3/8th inch you have, but those cradles should still fit nicely against the hull and provide the same support.

Just a lazy man's thoughts here
