OK Thanks, I'll remember that (BTW you've forgotten to insert your name as
author in MLCad's general settings; a nice thing if you ever want to publish

If you move the model in MLCad and make a new POV-file, you can just copy the
new lights from the first one (or just change the camera's direction a bit), I
think you're too close to perfection to abandon the picture. And BTW, when will
we se the finished result in 1280x1024?
