Just curious:
Is this your preferred way of doing something like this?  Or was it because 
meshes are more memory effecient?  Or is it due to something else, like 
texturing?

I am curious, simply because I find myself often doing things and saying 
"the heck with memory usage / render time!"  In other words, I have this 
belief that if it takes a longer time to render, and uses lots of RAM, then 
it should be better.  More of a subconscious thought, perhaps, since it's 
not completely rational.  Just something I often find myself dealing with.

BTW, my "Do something with it" comment was meant to imply that I hope p.b.i. 
is not the only place that this model/render shows up (Zazzle?), but my post 
sounded like I meant something else.

This is my preferred way. Texturing and freedom with the shape mostly. 
Render time would have been impossible using CSG.

Not to me. I think I got the right meaning from you. This will 
eventually end up hanging in a local pho(soup) shop. I think that 
qualifies as "doing something with it". I've always been curious, 
however, whether someone could pass off a picture on another CG board 
and have no one realize that it was done in POV. Don't know anyone with 
a membership on another board, however.

Thanks for the comments.

 I don't think you'd get turned away from 'any' pho shop, that's for sure.

   (You'd probably get more orders in time too... Be prepared to hurt your 
fingers!!)  ;)
