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
