            Don't ask about the polly count that's out the window I have decided to plow on and finish the model then return and seriously tackle the problem of polly reduction.
            The drawing from which the latest 2D pics was taken is 4.89 meg and rising

                                      I like the way you're displaying the progress. Quite impressed, now I know that I'm not alone to need so many

                                          The main file is about 9;46 meg at the moment but i am working in bits and pieces in various other drawings of the same project, that is where i am now running into problems with rendering the model the following ate the bestquality that i can get at the moment without my poor old laptop bombing out
