SIP I thought about getting a sheet of thin stiff plastic, heating it,
fitting it, and letting it set into the correct shape. *But how would
I heat it until it is soft? boiling water wouldn't be hot enough, and
a blow-lamp would be too unsubtle.
Or maybe any of those approaches'd work if I did 'em more carefully?
Any suggestions welcome.

Just pop it in the oven!
Probably better to start low and slowly raise the temp - I don't know
how accurate the temp on the dial is!
For ABS sheet at about 110 deg C
For Polypropylene at about 120 deg C
Time will vary - depending on size and thickness
