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. Build the capsule
Make one box: a floor square with a wall stood up on each edge.
2. Cap the nose
Lean two squares into a peak on top and close each end with a triangle.
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.
