First rendering... Yeah right; looks like you're a pro with POV-Ray! Damn, I can't even render a nice sky... At first I saw your model and thought, hmmm... doesn't look very interesting.

I've been building like crazy for BrikWars. Well, I've been playing with MLCad and POV-Ray (and a bunch o' other utilities). So I've got a ray-trace that I like.
