Ah! the hanging bits! That was my first concern (and my last). At 
present, I see no elegant way out of that issue. I tried to write a 
simulation macro but the results were horrible. Just as for peeling wall 
paper, I am afraid that needs to be modelled separately :-(

Discolouration is another brain cracker. I use a texture_map but 
obviously that is not the same at all.

That explains your comments :-)
