Speaking of pattern numbers, I have created the gold-faced android head and
developed a fix to the silver one (3626Bp63.dat), so that both parts are

What exactly was the problem? If you find an error in an existing parts(esp.
when the author's email address is in the header, and they are still active),
then I think it would be polite to try to establish some communication with • the
author before messing with their work. There is more than one variant of the
silver pattern. What exactly have you "fixed"?

In the case of the android head, the silver-faced one looks just fine. However
when observing it the gold-faced Explorien version, it should be noted that it
has a black face with gold features, on a Clear surface, leaving one with the
assumption that the front of the silver one is painted black as well, which
obviously wouldn't show up on a head with an already black surface.
If the two heads were to look identical (not including the gold/silver
difference), then the silver-faced android head would always have his silver
features on a black (front) surface, no matter what color the reat of the head
was.

My gold-faced one is here. http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=2479 It
gives you credit for making the silver-faced head.

Check out these links to see what I'm talking about.

including the Spyrius android. Despite appearances to the contrary, its head is
all black, with a clear helmet. I own one.)
