In Inkscape, I am trying to recreate the illusion of corrugated metal on an airplane wing (such as on a Douglas TBD Devastator, if that information helps). The wing is curved, of course. 

I am trying to get parallel boxes with rounded ends (representing the raised metal) to fit into a trapezoid with curved ends. I tried Extensions>modify path>perspectiveExtensions→modify path→perspective, but it doesn't seem to work if the box has curved ends (according to here: http://www.built-to-spec.com/blog/2011/01/02/quick-inkscape-tutorial-perspective-transforms/#:~:text=Basically%2C%20the%20old%20path%20for,Basically%20as%20of%20Inkscape%200.48.Quick Inkscape Tutorial – Perspective Transforms).

What should I do?
