   Perhaps Eagle/Eagle3D can be of help for you, because I think it has a way
  to expand the existing components library, via macros. This will free you
from modeling the board, and all the programming involved to have the
components properly placed, so you can focus on just modeling components.

   Yes, I know, but they are macro-normals in this case. I alternate between
both methods for no apparent reason: I just can't decide which method is
better, and each one seems to fit better certain situations... Most of the
time, I just try both and see which one works best for that shape/pigment.

I'm also pretty sure that technically, a "bug" means a germ, not an insect. :-)

This one looks /freakily/ realistic.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong - except as a secondary (or, rather, 
tertiary) meaning. (And I just checked, to find that 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug agrees with me.)

I meant, entomologists won't use the word in a technical conversation - they 
will use the term "insect" or "arachnid" or whatever is appropriate. 
Doctors, however, will refer to infectious microbes as "bugs" to distinguish 
them from non-infectious microbes. (Just like someone programming computers 
won't refer to a program correctly following specs that differ from what the 
customer actually wanted "a bug", even if the customers might call it that.)

Of course informally a "bug" is a small insect-like creature.

  Hey, no passing photographs for rendered images. That's cheating!

  Seriously, though, that's superbly photorealistic. :)

The true bugs are hemiptera, IIRC, and if I can spell.  Been a long time 
since I've had to think about proper bug terms.

Good gracious! I am repeating others, but if I didn't know better, I would 
say that these were photographs.

I wouldn't go /that/ far: Some edges telltale the CG origin because they 
lack beveling (especially the grey box headers); and the close-ups all 
suffer from too clean reflection and the total absence of dirt.

But still - incredible!
