it's like a blank canvas.

I've a [now-distant] friend who in the 1980s built a shingled egg-shaped lift-off cabin on the back of a Ford flatbed. A custom flatbed with curved but not tapered sides.

You can stack the shingles and plane them into wedge shapes en mass for a lift-off aerocap. I'd layer them like fish scales, horizontally.

Three-camera assist for those elephant-ear mirrors.

edit: Have you got it home yet?
