Hi Neil,
I took the networked head ran thro the surfaces one by one with the
nodeeditor and James macro nod converting them to panelled surfaces.
Joined all the panelled surfaces.
Some correction was necessary ie: some panels when the sub D
was applied didn't convert properly so it was necessary to delete
and rebuild them. Also I used the ssplit tool to maintain sharper
edges.
I have no sub D modelling experience so it may be I could have
used less divisions.
