I think that using a non-color as your base color (white, black, grey,
dk. grey) and using a real color as your highlight or flashy color
(just look at Jon Palmer's stuff, very controlled) is the best bet.

for now, LDRAW is out. I mean, sure, you could use it to get your module
together in your mind, but eventually it has to be built. So that means,
all the pieces you use have to exist and then you either have to pay someone
to build it for you (i will), OR you hit bricklink and get all the parts
you need, and do it yourself. :-)

right

definitely not limited to military. this base is owned and operated by
an international civilian agency (that DOES lease space on the base to
military modules, but also to non-military ones)
