So, if you follow ken's instructions and working with the rear section of the chines:
the rear section is made up of about five smaller sections
which are each made up of an upper, middle and lower part.
Preshape the parts, edge attach and glue each section flat, before attaching the sections side by side to build the entire rear half of the chines.
...and then gently curve the horizontal seams and apply a thin paper backing/joiner strip.
I would run a small diameter wooden dowel (with a rounded end) along the inside of the seams to give a rounded corner.
Don't forget to round off the corners of the internal formers too.
Even burnishing the outside corner after complete assembly will give you a more rounded look.
