You're not getting off that easily I'm afraid. The thing is that because
of the camera angle (which I rather like so am not changing), some parts
of the level can be in drawn in front of the nech which is why I have
this problem. The level is a 64*64 polygon mesh and so sorting the polys
by hand would be very slow (even just the displayed ones) as the camera
rotates about the mech and pans up and down to keep it in view when it's
bechind a wall.

Cheers,
