For testing purposes (LDView and Meshlab), could someone please upload a model built completely from BFC certified parts? Preferably a vehicle or something with an obvious front, back, top, bottom, etc., and with more than 25 parts. Thank you! -Mike (15 years ago, 18-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

If you render LDView's POV output using the POV-Ray 3.7 beta release, you will see that the colors all look washed out.
