Aerodynamic Streamlining Template 3d Models

I've been wanting to see the Aerodynamic Streamlining Template in 3d so I could better visualize it. I recently asked some questions on the AST Part C thread where I was talking about what I'll call the "mirrored reflection" version. It is labeled "Aerodynamic Streamlining Template".

I started with what I'll call the "Navion" version (because it reminds me of a Ryan Navion small plane). I roughly traced the outline in Google SketchUp. Then I started messing around (I'm a rookie) and somewhat accidentally came up with what I think looks cool.

Thanks to aerohead for the templates. I thought they were from old books because they have that cool hand-drawn look.
