  Thanks!  Your initial suggestion was right on the money--I like the way the
finished product looks with the interrupted/irregular top surface.  More
interesting to the eye.

  You're witnessing my very first babysteps into animation, thanks to the
supercool "clock" variable in POV-Ray.  This allows automatically generates
images-in-series, each modified according how you use the clock.  In this case,
I simply set the mech to rotate 20 degrees for each rendering, and POV-Ray
automatically ran 30 frames.  I then used Flash to stitch them together into a
continuous loop.
  So far I'm only able to do the most pitifully basic motion (like simple
rotation or straight-arrow linear), but I'm optimistic about the possibilities.

     Dave!
