Normally I would not say the red canopy looks that great with brown.
However, there are three things to consider about this model that could make
trans-red acceptable:  1) It is presented as an "organic" craft, and strange
color combinations occur all the time in nature (look at flowering plants in
a rain forest for example).  2) It is presented as alien, so even stranger
color combinations might be reasonable.  3.) It is presented as alien, a
point so profound, it deserves to be pointed out again.   :)

Well, again, they're alien.  The barrels could be for anything that might be
considered alien.   ;)

It reminds me of Eastwood rallying the guys on Heartbreak Ridge with the
confident "Recon!"  ...Hmmm... I wonder where I got the idea for the Gunny
Skighway character in Starship... heheheh...

Anyway, I wanted to add one more comment about the MOC.  What I found
striking was the use of green slopes.  You mixed them in between the brown
very nicely without overdoing it.  ...And of course I am jealous because I
don't even own a single green slope myself...    ;o
