The trick

Each fin is a right triangle stood up in the same flat plane as a body wall, so its tall straight leg snaps onto the body's corner edge while the sloped edge runs down to the floor.

What you will need

  • 7 square tiles
  • 2 triangle tiles
  • 4 right-angle triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Build the capsule

    Make one box: a floor square with a wall stood up on each edge.

  2. 2. Cap the nose

    Lean two squares into a peak on top and close each end with a triangle.

  3. 3. Add four fins

    Stand a triangle at each bottom corner so its tall edge hugs the body and its slope drops to the floor.
