It's more than the leaks -- the surface is heavily tessellated and it is definitely not smooth. The renderings smooth out most of these, but there are areas where even then, you can still see the roughness.

The most important thing right now is to build a chassis. There are many things to work out and the best / only way is to work on the real thing. I can do real world tuft testing -- either way, I need to finish the drafting work on the sections, and then order the foam and get my CNC machine humming...
