In the past, in an attempt to conserve the dwindling supply of two-digit

Steve and I have discussed this and make the following recommendations

be hidden from the parts lists by adding the '~' prefix to their • descriptions.
- new parts will be created following the conventional authoring rules:
hard-code the pattern colour and let the "part colour" control the base • part.
- where possible, subparting techniques will be used to share the pattern • code
between the three or more parts (the hidden file and the 2+ coloured • versions)

I have made a start with the five torso groups
973p11 - Minifig Torso with Dungarees Pattern
973p15 - Minifig Torso with Horizontal Stripes Pattern
973p35 - Minifig Torso with Imperial Guard Pattern
973p37 - Minifig Torso with Imperial Guard Officer Pattern
973p65 - Minifig Torso with Futuron Pattern
and added the new parts and subparts to the parts tracker.

Cool!  I see that you've also done the Castle/Forest Maiden.  Are there
any other such parts, aside from the Black Falcon shield?  Minifig heads
like Captain Redbeard, I suppose. . .

Oh, yes - so I did - that's six then. I think you are correct about the other
parts - we'd like to apply the same principle to those.
