Thanks, John.

I know. Although all Lego models are better seen in person, I think that
models built with black pieces really have to be seen in person to truly be
appreciated.

Thanks again. I tried to incorporate a "less is more" approach with the
Piranha.

The gray version uses 4 trans-orange 1 X 2 bricks stacked vertically. Of
course, behind the orange is a stack of white bricks to keep the orange
looking vibrant (actually, I used white 1 X 2 corrugated bricks for added
detailing behind the trans-orange).

Yes. They are all geared up for their next adventure but the author is
currently held up by his own procrastination.

I think I got my Brasso at Target for about $3.00. It does take some work
to get those UFO decals off but I think it's definitely worth doing. The
Lego purists may not approve of such alteration, but I think those saucer
sections become pretty useless because of those gaudy decals, unless you're
building a UFO/alien craft. Plain gray is way better to work with.
