Actually I think the shape is fantastic. I always liked the oval outline of
the body. I'm just not fond of the colors they decided to release it in.
I'm hoping to someday have enough of the right pieces to remake the main
model in just light and dark greys.

I hadn't thought of that. But if there's an interest, I certainly would.

Perhaps 12 or 15 pieces? The white 1x8 technic beams. The two brown arches
that run through the middle of the main model. The 2x3 thin bricks that
surround the openings to the wings. And a handful of the brown slopes. I
got most of the green ones into the alt model, but not the brown. Then most
of the little accent pieces were also left behind. I kept trying to add
more pieces, to see how many I could use, but at some point it just looked
finished, so I called it 'done'.

I'm not sure there's that many, but I'm sure you could do some sort of small
command pad or mini-outpost or something like that. :)
Thanks for the comments,
