Aah! Mr. Goldman's stuff, yes.
Well, I kinda figured out that needed something like that, but you've just hit
the same wall that I did, when I'd finished those mocs: None of those
architecture guys seem to be interested in modelling their works. Kinda
understandable, kinda odd...
So I thought you could draw a little inspiration from my sollution: Scaling up
some micro architecture: it's faster than creating something in minifig scale,
and much more pleasant to render.
I hit some odd "maxtrace-something reached" errors with the second scene
(Hearse), because I scaled every one of the micro cars up 4 times from the same
1:1 submodel.
It also seem like you can have no more than 50 submodels without experiencing
odd errors whith duplicated sections at odd angles (I tried that with the
Hoverbus scene).
But I'm still on POV 3.5 so some of these things might be fixed in newer
versions.
Hope that was a little more helpful
