Marking out

Next stage is to loft the plans. This involves making a series of pencil lines 305mm [12"] apart on the plywood and marking the corresponding points to create the panel shapes. I bought a length of overflow pipe from my local builder's merchant and used some duct tape to hold the shape whilst marking the curves out. This worked out pretty well.

Marking out was done on my dining room table since it was freezing in the garage and took several hours (~5 hours) to do but being an engineer I check every dimension several times just to make sure.
