Putting plans to wood.looking for ideas

I'm looking at my plans for a WeeLassie II and wondering what is the best way to transfer them to wood. That is, to copy them to the stations. I used very light paper to trace the bow station and I know I'm getting a little "play". I used a square to keep things, well square. Then I glued the tracing to poster board. I used the factory corners and a square. Is this good enought? I know there is some variance in it. Am I being to anal? This ain't rocket science. But each tranfer there is bound to be some "play". Will this add up in the end?

Thanks,
Todd
