I would be ever so grateful if some of you more artistically gifted authors could encode more of the patterns for the astromech droids from the Star Wars line.

Here are the droid "bodies" currently in the Parts List:

astromech current bodies.mpd (Size: 1.37 KB / Downloads: 6)

And here are the droid "heads" currently in the Parts List:

  astromech current heads.ldr (Size: 2.16 KB / Downloads: 5)

Using Gargan's code from the green droid's "head", I've posted two other astromech "heads" onto the Parts Tracker. (Ref.: Topic)

But there are so many more such patterned pieces awaiting to be encoded. So, I am asking for your help, to better populate our virtual library with an increased representation of the astromech droids, please.

Thanks,
Franklin

did 553pb018 all of the pattern subfiles had to be inlined
some kinks can be ironed out particularly the dark green box on the left side of back should be white with grey outline (red circle)
