Much thanks, Aaron.

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,
