This looks like a good place to use a macro...all that
copy-paste-modifying could be automated.

I think you could use the object keyword instead of union, and get the
same effect(without the warning about only having one object in a CSG).
And I think you might be able to use "hierarchy off" instead of the
wrapper object...

I have the warning-to-console turned completely off. It bugged me.
And hierarchy off slows it down, rather than speeds it up.

Ouch. In my way of thinking, a warning is an indication of a possible
severe problem. I track them down and eliminate them at once.
Warnings have helped me find stupid mistakes many times, when I would
normally have just glanced over the same area of code.

I am actually not surprised, I was just making a wild guess. It turns
off the bounding hierarchy for the individual components, which can
sometimes remove artifacts.
But did you try using object instead of union?

Sorry.
But it was my first thought when I saw them.
My next was "hey, he got himself an airbrush"

Is it just me, or do other people go to a science fiction movie and read all
the credits looking for "H.E. Day"?
Another fabulous modeling job.

have you thought about wwriting a blobs tutorial? you seem to have quite a
knack for blobs that the rest of us could benefit from.
