If it's a small round corner, I glue 2 plates in 90 degrees, glue a small piece behind in the corner and let it dry. After that I pre-build the corner using a cutter and after that I use 240er sand paper followed by 400er and 600er paper.

If you have a look at my Mercedes Benz New Actros thread, you can see what I mean.

If I need a long rounded area like the roof of my Mercedes, I start to form it by bending it over a broomstick or something other with a rounding that fits to my needs. In addition you can warm up the plates with a hair dryer. Maybe you want to have a look at the creation of the mud wings of my C509.

I hope this helps you to go on.
Hi Gismow
That's exactly what I'm looking for
Thanks for answering And I'll have a look at your projects they look really interesting, especially about cabs creations/modifications and about electrical installations
