Run Construct > Blend to fill in the empty area with a smooth blend surface:

Cool! :)
Like this you can keep the original forms even in Loose process!

Just make the extremities "free" (double the penultimate section for example)
You can of course transform them after!

wow, thanks all, lots of approaches to pick from! will try them all and document them for my personal tutorial library! (if not I will have forgotten it next time, my neurons became a bit fuzzy lately ;-)

will try to show the result soon, a slowly rocking wooden sailboat automaton.

cheers

needs to be 3D printed as a test first, Pilou ;-) and yes, I forgot to reset the decimal display to 2 after some scaling tests for another project...
