// === BUILD PLAN ===
// Style: Steampunk airship MOORED at its mast (vehicle, bow toward +Z so the iso/front camera sees it)
// Envelope: ellipsoid rx=7 ry=6 rz=17 (~35 long : 14 wide = 2.5:1) centred at (0,27,0) -> doc "medium/large zeppelin"
// Gondola: z -11..+12 (24 long = ~60% of envelope), 5 wide, slung 2 blocks under the envelope on chains
// Mast: iron lattice, z=+24, Y1..Y30, gantry + mooring chains to the nose cone
//
// SIDE PROFILE (bow to the RIGHT, +Z):
// ____---‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾---____
// fin<==== copper envelope (ribbed) ====>nose --- chains --> [MAST]
// ‾‾‾| |‾‾‾ chains ‾‾‾| |‾‾‾ |||
// [=== gondola: engine | cabin | bridge ===] |||
// prop O O prop
// ================ stone landing platform ================
//
// SECTION (envelope, looking down the Z axis): TOP VIEW (gondola):
// .....#####..... ..#####..
// ...#########... .#######.
// ..###########.. .#######.
// ...#########... ..#####..
// .....#####.....
//
// MATERIALS PLAN:
// envelope: noise copper_block(30)+exposed_copper(28)+weathered_copper(24)+oxidized_copper(18)
// - WHY: patina blotches give VOLUME on a huge curved surface (a single copper reads flat)
// ribs : waxed_exposed_copper / gold_block every 4 blocks of Z - WHY: brass frame reads the cigar shape
// nose+tail: iron_block + chiseled ribs; fins dark_oak + copper
// gondola : spruce planks + dark_oak trim + glass panes (portholes) - WHY: warm wood vs cold metal
// mast : iron_bars lattice + deepslate bricks base; platform stone/andesite/cobble mix
// Rooms (gondola): BRIDGE (helm, glazed nose, charts), CABIN (bunk, table, lanterns), ENGINE (furnace, pipes, gauges)
