Yes, I thought that would likely be the best path. trueSpace's booleans tend to leave 'scars' on
the mesh that show up in the renders. I did manage to get rid of most, but not all. I truly hope
Carrara is better in that regard. tS is a good modeler, as long as everything you do is in tS, 
it just doesn't do that well with other programs. And as you likely know, converting from one
format to another, the mesh sometimes loses something in the translation. I was also working
on a Space 1999 eagle for Poser people, but the OBJ export in tS kept screwing up the mesh,
so I had to stick that on the backburner for the time being. Now all I need is time, and you sure
can't buy THAT. :)
