I often cut the stern and bow from plywood, and dowel that onto a stick of hardwood or something.
Could be a stick of plywood if you like.

Umi, those plans on the bottom pic look very interesting - what ship plans are they?

Captpayne - if you have a look at the Masterclass section, under Cervia build; there is a good bit of detail there on transferring lines/keel constructions.

Hope this is of some help.
