Much thanks, Aaron.

Two technical questions--in what set did you get the dark grey cones that
form the ram's horns in the nativity scene?  And were did the brown head and
hands of the 3rd wise man come from?

At least 4 1x1 dark grey cones are available in the UCS Tie Interceptor.
But I must have gotten them from somewhere else, because my UCS Tie was
still fully intact when I built that ram.

LEGO certainly hasn't made it easy to build a minifig with brown skin, but
they have made it possible.  You'll need a brown head from under the helmet
of the Tie Fighter pilot in the Tie Fighter set (not the UCS one), and the
brown hands from Chewbacca who is available in a few sets now.  There's no
face printed on the Tie pilot's head, so I drew on two eyes.

Hope that helps,

-The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith
