Hi Sam,

Thanks for the comments. I think the Lego models are *too* shiny. I started 
investigating sub-surface scattering, but didn't really get very far. I 
tried adding a finish that uses a subsurface setting, but it didn't seem to 
make any difference. I've probably got the settings wrong. Does SSS work 
when using HDR lighting?

I've uploaded the original version of a render of Qui-Gon Jinn to my 
website - I'm using POV-Ray v3.7 RC7
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/models/qui-gonjinn/

Perhaps you could take a look at how SSS could be applied?

Thanks in advance

Reuben
