Thanks, both! The color scheme came about because of the giant slope pieces. I initially built the fuselage and BAVS (Big @ss Vertical Stabilizer) by just playing around with bricks I had. After I had some Tan/Brick Yellow in there, I knew I had to incorporate those 1x10 curved bricks, since I picked up a dozen of them or so from BL a while back on a whim. I then copied the fuselage in LDD and built the wings/prongs digitally, then built it in real life based on that. They ended up a bit droopy, though, as there was no support underneath to keep them straight, so I went back to LDD and refined the design a bit, then incorporated those changes.
