I created a couple of objects for my first 3D venture and after much
wailing and gnashing of teeth managed to get them both texture mapped and
on my NY screen. 

Only then did I discover that I got the scaling wrong on one of the
objects. No problem, I thought, I'll use the ScaleMatrix() function to
perform a one-off resize on the obhect during initialisation. 

This worked, but for some reason the rescaled object (which I made smaller)
has now become a good deal darker. If I make the other object bigger the
reverse happens and it becomes light and washed out. It's got to be
something to so with the lighting, but what?
