The slope is best estimate for now. The x and y measurements and
proportions were taken from the overall dimensions of the ship, and a line
drawn plan and elevation that seemed to suggest that the hull was
essentially in three equi-length parts - bow, centre, stern.

Always open to advice though.
The bow and stern sections seem to be very similar in shape, varying only at
the apex and not by much. The 2x thingie is just about there being a
starbord section to go with the port.
I did notice that this seems to be coming out a bit sleeker than FdG, but I
figured it was close enough for now, and that I'd modify for taste as I went
along.
The actual frame won't be part of the ship - I simply knocked it up to get a
feel for size and proportion, and scope out what would be necessary in the
way of pieces (and construction space!).

I think my entire collection includes 6 2x2 grey rounds. Needs must when
the devil drives...

Only unconsciously if at all ;-)
