Default Building a ship keel - advice needed
So, I am currently in the process of building an airship, but one of the issues I am having is making a decent looking keel for it.
Since it is not going to be submerged in water, but instead will be built up in the air using the constrainfloorelevations method, it is a huge optical deal. I never dabbled in making slanted walls before.

I did find this post about building a nice looking keel, but due to the age of the thread, the pics are long gone, which makes the whole process a lot harder to understand:

Does someone have a good method with illustrations for this?

It is probably extremely simple and I am just thinking too complicated, but my brain is stuck on it XD
I know how to make walls that are sloped on their top, but this would be different, as in: making the wall itself appear or be slanted to the side.

Thanks a bunch!

Update:
I think I got it after rereading my own question a couple of times. Indeed I was thinking too complicated in terms of biting onto the term "wall", instead of utilizing floor/ceiling for it interchangeably, doh.
Will give that a shot. Slight challenge might be to do that on an already elevated terrain 50 meters up in the air and also still make the interior work, but I guess I can handle that after some trial and error.
