I do some scrollsaw work, and it is suprising how accurate it is to glue the paper pattern onto the wood and cut it. Thats how I did the Spring Run forms, and very little alignment was required. So far it looks like no fairing. I copied the forms, and glued the paper to the particle board with watered-down Titebond. Then cut them out 1/4" fair with the bandsaw, and sanded the edges to the lines with a sanding disk. I really think, especially if you can get the designer to give you plans showing each station mold seperately, that this method is accurate to 1/64" easily.
