I recently offered to do just this and apply it to the existing decorated tiles
(more than 10 minutes work to do it properly, IMHO),
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.cad.dev:143
BUT since I do not own all the decorated tiles myself I need guidance on which
ones use the tile with the fingernail groove and which don't (and potentially
which exist in both forms).
Do all the sizes of tiles exhibit this feature? And what other parts - I know
the 1 x 2 grille does. Now, I've just spent the last 10 minutes writing this
when I could have corrected them all :-)
The offer still stands - just, although I'm currently wondering why I spend
time trying to make my parts as realistic as possible.

| (...) oh yeah.. i just meant 10 minutes to do one and see how it looks... doing all of the tiles in our catalog would be at least an 11-minute job ;) J (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
