they're HUGE! Has anyone done a cut-down version? If not, I will attempt it.

I too have used them without any noticable problems. I don't know how
efficiently modelled they are but they are quite a complicated (in terms of
amount of faces) part.

Just to clarify, yes they are usable, but at over 600K and 10000 lines each,
they use some serious resources when rendering. I unfortunately don't have a
computer with a huge amount of resources, and I don't think it's necessary. I
assume they were created direct from the CAD design used to create the
prototypes, which has much more detail than required for a good render.

I think it should be possible to reduce the size by a factor of at least 10, I
will post my efforts here (and send them to Ben) when complete.
