Nice work, Thomas! It really looks like a lego box! You inspired me two
weeks ago to try lego myself, so give me a year (or two) and one day I'll
post a Lego model here, too. Perhaps a single brick only ;-)

I started with LeoCad which exports directly to POV. Nice to start with, but
no quality bricks. But it also exports Ldraw and there are good Ldraw-->POV
converters. You can recognize the converted bricks by their numbers and
alter your model in POV easily. It's no 'spaghettimesh'-export!
Using converters like L.C. Hassings L3P there are options to draw the 'LEGO'
symbol on every stud, and every little brick has rounded corners, and and
and... give it a try!
