    Would 30360 work?
    You could use 2x2 brick rounds with domes/cones on the ends if that's big enough?

    Or 73111, although that's only available in Medium Stone Gray.

    You could maybe start with
    LEGO cone 3x3x2 with axle hole (6233/45176)
    Add an axle to pin connector inside and place a 4l bar (?)
    Put several LEGO dish 3x3 inverted together and place first one on the bar
    Finish to the right with LEGO sphere 3x3x11/3 with knob (49308)
    Just thinking...don’t have the parts to try but 🤔

    Okay, just tried putting a bar on the pin part of a connector and it’s a no-go But pneumatic tube would fit in! That means you just cut to the length that will attach to the bottom stud holder of the first dish and if too loose use an open stud 1x1 round plate there as the connection to what is the underside of the first dish...🤔

    Hey that's a good idea, One_Click_Off! All I could think of was a 2 x 2 dish (0.5 long) attached to a 2 x 2 round brick, ending with another 2 x 2 dish to equal 3 studs long to give the sense of something oval.
