Would making the pattern face of a slope (or wedge) a subpart to be used with
the main piece (without face) subpart be ok? I'm thinking, that for slopes (and
wedges), it would be easier to make the pattern a flat subpart, then rotate the
subpart to the desired angle. I got this ideal from the patterned slope from set
7130 - Snowspeeder, and the patterned wedge from set 4500 - Rebel Snowspeeder.
Unless I am mistaken, the wedge 4 x 4 has the exact same pattern printed on it
as the slope brick 18 2 x 4 - and I think both pieces have the same angle to
their slope.

Here's peeron link's for comparison of the two pieces:
