I just like tr. red better than tr. orange--esp. with black.

My thought was a 2x2 rounded top brick with a pattern used as a headrest, but

Yeah, I can't tell if those are black plates or just shadow on a red cylinder
brick. I keep wanting to put tr. red radar dishes back there (that's how I
would have made it), but I think the studs are pointing toward the back.

Probably makes it easier for the canopy to close.
