Thanks for your help,
I have tried both threads, but with no luck. I also don't have the full Maxwell suite just the plugin which I think would give me much more freedom. I have removed all textures and materials purged the file and then started again with the materials. But still no luck!!! If I render each face individually they look fine, but as soon as I render the whole project I get my stripey legs back.
Thanks again, back to the drawing board.
Cheers
Matt
