Thanks Dave.

Again, thanks. Mean is definitely one thing I was going for.

Yeah...I wish the battle droid parts were available in a lot more colors
too. They're probably the most underestimated part that lego has made in
the last couple years. But now, people are using them for lots of different
stuff; I see more every day.
As for the tan and grey, maybe if the pics were a little sharper it would
show better. I think that the two light colors give it a bit of a "desert
combat" look.
I'd definitely like to do more with red and dark grey tho, and with the new
destroyer droids in the 2002 sets, dark grey battle droid bodies are
offered. So maybe then.
Again, thanks for the comments Dave.
