Hi all.  As some of you may know, I've been busy producing accessories for my Eagle Transporter model in the Free Stuff section, but I've hit a problem and I need some help.  I'm trying to construct the Eagle manipulator arm, but the shape of the claws is such that I can't create them in primitives without it being very messy.  My terrain modeling skills are strictly beginner-level, so if someone could drop me a few hints, I would be very grateful.  There's a picture of the claws enclosed.

Secondly, I've had requests to convert the models to a format that Poser can use.  I do have Daz Studio but I've never used it, and I think it's the key to doing this.  I have Bryce 6.0 (thought it was 6.1 but it ain't!) and I can't find a way for Studio to accept the .br6 files.  Am I doing it wrong?  And if I need a patch, where can I find it?

Thanks in advance.
