I doubt a true boat tail could be made with enough structural integrity, unless specific supports were molded in place. It would be useful for small scale parts though (i.e. tire boattails).

That's a very good point.Perhaps if compound curves were used throughout,the unit would enjoy the benefits of the eggshells remarkable integrity and strength.

Interesting process though. Looks easy too !

A valid point.
Some of the plastics deserve a lot of respect in that regard apart from the foul smells.
