Here's a nice side view of one of the ones for

There is also a long rocker style, and a sort of triangular style

Ah, many thanks--now I understand. Would it be possible to mill out
the profile in a big hunk of polycarbonate and then slice the paddles
off like slices of bread? The result could then be painted.
I wonder if you could cast some out of zinc-aluminum alloy using a
lost-wax process? Metal ones would be more durable.
