Thanks everyone for your help with my (wrong) decision that POV-Ray had 
a bug! Thanks to PM_2Ring for helping to find what the object actually 
was (although I'm still looking for an official name for the 'Silver 
Jellybean') Thanks to Thomas De Groot for suggesting Wings .. I've not 
used it for much so this was a bit of fun.

Just a couple of weirdnesses. The Plaza is a flat box, the lines are 
cylinders differenced with it ( difference{ box {} cylinder {}... } ) 
however the cylinder's radius is 1/50th of the distance between each 
cylinder. However, the reflection shows them as being really wide, and 
in the foreground where focal blur is bluring them, they get really 
really whacked! Have I missed a setting??

It seems as if the texture of those cylinders is extremely bright.

cu!

Just checked .. neither the box nor the cylinders have any texture .. 
the texture is all on the difference:

difference {
	box {}

	cylinder {}
	.
	.
	cylinder {}
	
	texture {
		pigment {rgb<231,205,160>/255*1.01 }
		normal{
			bumps 0.5
			scale <1,0.3,1>
		}
	}
}

So still weird :)

Thanks for the thought though.

Cheers!

What a coincidence! I ran into this webpage

http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/illinois/chicago/millennium/millenniumother.html

which has a few nice pictures of 'the Jellybean'. It might help you to 
model your object.
