I found UK mags in some US stores, such as the UK official Playstation
Magazine with PAL demo disc in the Virgin Superstore in San Francisco.

Beware, Truespace2 only saves in calligari format and 3dstudio .asc
format.  Is there a free/shareware tool to convert .asc to .dxf or .3ds
without  3d$tudio?  Rhino doesn't grok .asc format.

Also, truespace2 has nice texture tools, like if you want to do a 
cylindrical wrap around your model, but the .asc files truespace
makes have the texture coordinates stripped from them.
