: I'm looking for some assistance in finishing the stripping of high
: deck Night Heron (kit) in the cockpit area, and the cockpit
: cutout. There are about 4 linear feet of strip left to do and
: the forms will be covered with wood. But those few feet are at
: the transition between the bow deck, the stern deck, and the
: cockpit cutout. The cockpit cutout template doesn't really work
: as a trace and cut operation for reasons too difficult for me to
: explain.

: What I really need are any pictures showing the stripping in that
: area. I think its more of a visualization problem for me than a
: technical one. If anyone out there has pictures like that, I
: would sincerely appreciate it if they could be e-mailed to me:

I am building a guillemot so not the same boat but this pic might help. In your pic it looks like you let the strips run "free" past your tallest form ( sorry not familiar with night heron forms), where as in my pic I have shaped them down from the tallest form to the middle cockpit form. This allowed me to draw a fair curve. I will attach another pic after the cut.

hope this is what your looking for.
