I hate to spoil the fun but thats actually all brown. :-(  I'm sorry that
some of it came out looking dark red.  Its funny because Mark Rideout
thought it was sand red in another picture, taken with someone elses camera.
Weirdness.

Courtesy of the Sopwith Camel.  Actually Brickbay because I only have those
pieces from the Sopwith.

Thanks!  Thats the very first part of the ship I did.  I just made that
recessed area with some bricks framing it and set it on my bookshelf for a
week before the idea for the ship came to me.  I'm really glad you
appreciate the ships design.  You've noticed some features that I was really
happy about.

Thanks again. :-)

I have to raise it, but not by much.  I just raise it up a bit and then it
snaps into place.  Very strong bond too. Magnets rock.

I must get my hands on one too. ;-)  The brown half cylinders came from:

I was fortunate to find a few this fall at Walmart for $20.
