I'm attempting to POV the entire monopoly game pieces. I'm new to POV-Ray
and the car holds special interest to me so I thought I'd start with it.
I've attached an orthagonal render for your feedback, as well as the
script.

If you're an experienced POVer, please take a minute to look at my code and
give me some feedback. There's a couple of places where I've learned new
things (like POV has loops!) that I'd change things, but I'm sure there's
more than that.

The file has a dozen cameras in it. I've comented them all out except the
one that did the included render.

My main question is: How do I round off all surfaces? I don't want to remove
the corners on everything and replace them with a cylinder, and I'm
guessing there's an easier way.

Cheers!
Rick
