In that case, I shall rescan without the head, from more angles, and with finer
settings - I was trying (unsuccessfully) to try and limit the polygon count by
scanning in lower resolution, but if you're using other software to downsample
afterwards then that isn't necessary.

Yes, better have more resolution at the beginning. In many cases I downsample
differently on different sections of parts. Eg. for Dobby's head
(http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/43745.dat) I first reduced
polygon count to a high value, then reduced again in all areas except important
areas: eyes and mouth.

Can your software read .SCN files? That is the native file format output by the
scanner; if you can read them then I can skip the STL translation.
Unfortunately no, the only serious 3D software I use is Meshlab, here are the
supported formats:

A photo of inside of part (showing stud connection) would be appreciated too!
