Thanks!

It's just a very small bumps normal:

  normal{
   bumps .03
   scale .001
  }

It only works well with focal blur.

All of the other material settings were changed too because I was going 
to try glossy reflections with the averaged texture map technique... but 
it was rendering too slowly so I ended up using a micronormal instead... 
I didn't want to change the materials back, so everything got to have 
this finish:

  finish{
   reflection{0.01, 1 falloff 2}
   brilliance 2
   phong 1
  }

Cool. I'd like to get some of the other Lego libraries up-and-running 
with POV. LGEO is a bit dodgy, and I haven't yet made a serious attempt 
at using one of the Lego CAD programs.
