Now I have acrylics to hand, this is going to be first to make it over
to analog.

generaly good, but using smooth triangles would be a good idea imho

Mesh2 objects don't appear to support that feature.

They do, it's the normal vectors and indices.

Hmm, the newer version of a 3D format missing a basic feature that was
already in the previous version... If I were you, I'd check the pigment{}
statement, I heard that they forgot that "color" keyword in the 3.5 release
;-)

Kidding apart, it seems that your model has normals indeed (otherwise it
would appear much worse than than) but it looks as if the model was deformed
without taking normals into account.

It wouldn't be the first time that's happened! (in other products that
is!).

I think OBJuvPOV may need some of its settings tweaking. 

I eventually did come across a reference to normals in the mesh2
documentation - but I assumed OBJuvPOV was correctly dealing with
them. Also, I believe the facetted effect is not so bad if area lights
are not used - or so it would seem when switching between the 2 types
when prototyping.

They do.

But I like the hard edges in your picture.  It becomes a graphic
element in itself.

Oh my !  What were they thinking ?

Mmm, yup as normals I believe.
