Hey, thanks! Yeh, these alien suits often try to look like
creatures because, in a sense, they *are* creatures. How
can one improve on nature? :)

Actually, boring is precisely what I wanted. Utile, facile,
and most of all camoflauged. One thing that kept me from
building these earlier was that I'd have had to make them
colors that I consider too "funky" for my backstory.
But note that the upper part of the vehicle is generally lighter
than the lower portion--in its theatre, it was bounding over
rocks and permafrost against a mostly-grey sky. But if blasted
off those rocks and into deep water with a cracked canopy...

Why not Sweden? :) That's where it fell, that's who recovered
it, so that's who gets it.
I didn't build any logos or flags into it--this is a proving-
ground unit, so there's not much call to show the flag until
it's on the battlefield.
