Glad you like it!  No blobs though, it's just two superellipsoids.  One a
rounded cylinder, and tho other a rounded box, in addition to the cylinder
rail & box 'screen'.  Code is below - I tend to use a scale of 1 Pov unit=1
metre.  Using a 'natural' sort of scale helps to keep proportions ...errr
'proportionate'.

cylinder{<-0.5, 0, 0> <0.5, 0, 0>, 0.030 texture{White}}
superellipsoid{<1.0, 0.2> rotate<0,90,0> scale<0.250, 0.050, 0.050>
texture{White}}
superellipsoid{<0.2, 0.2> scale<0.230, 0.080, 0.030> translate<0, 0.040, 0>
rotate<20, 0, 0> texture{White}}
box{<-0.220, 0, -0.015> <0.220, 0.400, 0.015> rotate<20, 0, 0>
texture{Green}}
