      As I suspected, it is the back face color showing through at seams. You can change the back face color to white and they won't show ion the white areas but they'll probably show in the areas you've painted black.

      I changed the back face color to magenta which makes your "dots" really stand out and confirms the problem. Turn the edges back one and those dots generally won't show because the edges will hide them.

      Its not working over here 😞 grrrrr 😒

          What's not working?

          As Rich suggests, you've probably got an inadequate card. If this stuff is important to you, try upgrading your hardware.

            Processor is Intel(r) Core 3 Duo, with a memory of 3.00GB and its a 32-bit operating system.

            As I said iv built around 40+ models and this is the very first time iv seen this before, and they are well bigger in all ways with a lot more detail.

            The other ship (below) is bigger, no problem at all while building.

              This is a graphics card issue not CPU.

              I'd bet a beer we could go through every model you've created and find the same issue. Just turn on the edges while you're working and they won't show. Besides, they don't hurt anything while you're drawing, anyway.

                    Integrated Card is the issue.

                          Get something that is 64bit, 8gb+ ram and nVidia powered GPU and i7 CPU

                          Should be an improvement over the current.
