Thanks everyone for the positive comments!

 

I approached the inboard fairing with an expectation to do it to the same standards as the external fairing for the hull surface.  I used a depth gauge to mark the bulwarks framing at the appropriate thickness and then carefully removed a large portion of the material using my rotary tool and sanding drums.  Then went to work with 120 grit sanding sticks shaped into different curves and angles.  (my knuckles are healing nicely).  For the last bit of material removal at the point between the bulwark and the deck, I used my rotary tool again this time with a ball-shaped routing bit.  You can see a small radius carved into the bulkheads in this area.

 

I'm looking forward to redoing some of my previous work around the lower counter this weekend and then onto lining off and prepping for planking the hull.
