I particularly like the way you've simulated the spiral using studs out tiles (unless my eyes decieve me). My only crits are that it's perhaps a (...)

The canards are studs out mainly because the area they attach to is (neccesarily) studs out and there is a fairly limited selection of snot bricks in dark red. Along with other (...)
