Thanks Paul!

Well, I picked the colour scheme 'cause of both necessity (in terms of parts
needed for what I was going to build) and originality (it's a relatively
unexplored colour combo).
I agree, there is not enough tan, but hey, I don't have the same, large,
opulent collection some you AFOLs do (which you guys put to such great use, in
models I could never even fathom to build, BTW). So I have to work with what
I got.
Also, I've been clustering colours ever since fall 2001. It's become a
trademark for me, and I like the clean look. Apparently, judging from the
replies I've gotten here, people like it. You're the only person I've heard
speak out against it.
I *try* (don't always succeed) to specify certain "functions" for colours. In
this model, the weaponry and defence systems are RED, the structural and
technical bits are GREY, and the TAN is mostly reserved for special stuff like
doors, wings, etc.
I personally love using colours like this, and until more people tell me it's
bad, I'm sorry, I'll continue doing it.
BTW, if you wish to rebuild the "Mammoth" in a better colour, one that you like
Paul, you can... Just wait 'til I finish the .MPD file.

Thanks again. I like the "purist" suits as well. They're a bit harder to do,
and not as sleek as these "head-only" ones.
