What I do is build the general curve around the blocky basis of
the hull--you know, a vertically straight horizontal curve. Then
I build the curve outward on that. It does mean that my internal
order is square; but it also means that I can use odd colors (read:
conserve my dark grey) underneath the main hull curve.
If you look in my Brickshelf gallery, you can sort of see how it all
went together:

But I didn't take any in-process photos of the bow. I used this
process for that bow, but it wasn't nearly as complex as this will
need to be.

Very small. Why do you think this is a waterline model? ;)
