  Man, I've seen this before from the front, but getting a closer look

As for the white ... do you know how hard it is to stain porcelain?  Wait,

I built this before I had a Yoda sculpture set, and I really struggled to pull
together enough tan pieces to make it come out the way I wanted.  In
retrospect, though, I have to say that it might have incidentally helped the
effect - the random slopes and such interspersed in the walls gave it a nice
"missing chunks" look.

Thanks again ...
