No, it's just the flash. I like using Tan as an accent color or as a
"discolored" panel like you'd see on Star Wars spaceships. It actually
doesn't look bad next to gray. I tried to use it in this instance to make it
look as if the pirates had added a larger reactor. If I had tan 1/4 saucers,
I'd have made one of the engines "discolored." Gotta get an ATT.

motorcycle after the one in Akira.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how to clear the walkway through the front
of the ship. I tinkered with some hinges until I came up with a
combination of a 2x2 turntable and a couple of 1x4 hinges. Maybe I'll pull
that thing out and take another photo of just the hinge assembly.

My friend Erik and I were discussing making an orbital shipyard. We shall
