I'm thinking I'll finally get the 21060 tiles worked up soon. Meanwhile, a reminder that the 21058 tiles patiently await your votes on the PT.  ;) (Maybe by then we'll have a glimpse at the Notre Dam...

Post: RE: Fixes to 4522 Minifig hammer

Thanks. Attached my improved version. As well as correcting these dimensions, I've also made the point a little more blunt, and removed the 45 degree rotated prims (so the tip lies exactly at 12 LDU).

I think there are some wrong dimensions on part 4522 (https://library.ldraw.org/official/8952). Based on its use in set 10185 (see image), I propose that the head should be an even 12 LDU wide, instea...
