Get PoseRay (Free).
Import the 3DS object into PoseRay.
Here, you can rotate, translate and rotate the object if you wish.
Export the object to POV-Ray. This will create a file (.inc) that POV-Ray can
use. That file will contain a mesh version of your object. You may also have
some other files containing the materials to be used with the obect.
#include the file(s) from PoseRay into your scene.
Once the object is available to POV-Ray, you can use min_extent() and
max_extent() to retreive the actual bounding box of that object and use that to
scale it.
As the imported object is a mesh, you can use 1000's of it without problem.

Also, the #include file created by PoseRay will include (as comments)
the minimum and maximum x-, y-, and z-extents of the object, which *may*
save you a step or two, at least in deciding precisely how to deal with
the object.
