These are the economics of small scale production. The next step is to design for manufacture. So far we have experimented with fiberglass, sheet metal, and coroplast. Your design has the advantage of being a simpler shape compared to the compound curves. I am looking at scaling up paper model techniques for sheet plastic and honeycomb aluminum. It is easier for me to copyright plans than ship parts.
