John,
     From bottom to top.
1) Very dark brown.
2) Dark brown. (chocolate)
3) Medium brown.
4) Yellow brown.
5) Yellow.
6) Pale yellow.
All of the above are flat colors, for the 'knob' on the carrier and
'exhaust'
areas use a semi-gloss medium brown.

For the last 1/4 inch of less of the spines.
7) Very dark red.
8) Red.
9) Bright red.

     All the steps, except the base coat (#1), are dry brushed in 
progressively lighter applications.

     Note: I normally bend the tips of the spines down about 1/16 
of an inch to get a 'grasping hand' look.

Bye for now,
John L.
