I'd have been called a ripoff if I hadn't :)

Yeah, it is a nifty scheme. Too bad I don't have enough brown or tan to do
a truly large spaceship in this color scheme (unless it's like Mark
Sandlin's Nesquik Bunny ship and makes heavy use of those droid fighter wing
pieces).
I've been thinking about how else to use those leg pieces, and they might
make interesting engine thrusters too, what with the vaguely trapezoidal
shape and all of the feet.

Oh heck yeah. Because they're flatter than the Toa masks, they're much more
versatile. Plus, since they are mounted by a short length of technic axle,
you can secure a Bohrok claw in place much easier, as you only need a
technic 1x2 brick with cross axle hole.

I had thought of incorporating the krana into this ship, but the 4 I got in
the 4 pahrak va's I bought were all different, so I'd have mucked up my
symmetry. I think I get stuck on symmetry too much. One of these days I'm
going to have to build a radically asymmetric vehicle, although the
cognitive dissonance might make my brain pop.
