Are you intending to display the model so it can be taken apart to show stages? If not, keep in mind the BPC cover was larger than the CM. When I've modeled Saturn 1Bs, I usually print out the BPC a percent or two larger than what the model offers.

As far as forming goes, I find that using the tapered end of a knitting needle and forming the paper on a computer mouse pad works well. If you're unfamiliar with using knitting needles, check them out. They come in various sizes and they are one of the most useful tools you'll have, especially if you're building rockets with cone shapes.

1/480th is a bear of a scale, even for something big like a Saturn 1B....
