I see on a few build logs where some people pre-taper the hull formers by laying the smaller ones on the larger ones and drawing a line and sanding the taper.

 

This looks like a good idea to me but is there anything I should be wary of or do you not thing it is a good way to do things?

If you mean fairing (shaping) the edges , this will only work if the layers or frames are almost in contact with each other. In the case of a model with bulkheads, where they are spaced far apart, you can only fair them after the framework is assembled.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv
