What's wrong with the model already being used? And why a POV-Ray? This
isn't pov-ray.org, it's ldraw.org. To be completely pure, it should be an
image generated by LDraw. But an LDLite-sourced image would be very nice,
as well.
Also, IMO, an "impressive model" would set the wrong tone for the site. I
think a medium-size model with some nifty features will show better than a
super-huge model in a super-small zoom. Again, the current model works
quite well.
Having an original, standard ldraw.org model has some nice continuity
benefits for the site. For example, on all the 'related software' pages,
the screen shots could use the same model. The only downside is that if
there is only one standard model, it will seem to bias us toward whatever
theme that model fits.

This would be very nice, but why not feature it as a separate feature? (er,
well, you know what I mean).
