The line drawing or "stitching" is how I started doing my USS Hartford model. There may be anther way however. Have you tried using the push/pull button on your bulkheads in combination with your scale button?

In the first sample I have my smallest bulkhead aft in place with my guides for the size of the others.

Then I use the push/pull button to extend the bulkhead lengthwise, then use the scale button to make it the size needed.

To do it right though I should have used the "group" feature for your "map" and superimpose it on your model. To get more bends in the model you can use horizontal lines (decks) as well and scale each part to bend the shape. This is something I am still trying. Of course the more decks and bulkheads you have the more accurate your model will be.

Just a thought.
