I do agree that i used too much black. the project began initially to see
if i could make a good hull out of bricks. I just started adding to it with
my black bin beside me. before i knew it, it was all black. the few tan
details were added in a desperate effort to colorize it. I think in version
2.0 i will add some tan or dark red details to the sides and perhaps brown
decking. Also i think the sail will help. I want to maintain a degree of
evilness to the look but it is too black.
