So when i made this model: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:582323
I had to work out how to program a polygon script. Learnt a lot doing that, which I would not have learned just using a six faceted cylinder :-)
I now know both ways :-)

In case you're wondering I'm the idiot holding the duck - yes i should have been wearing gloves. That thing stings !
But it works :-) And i enjoyed working out a fully parametric polygon generator.
You'll never get a shine on that duck doing it that way. Your buffing wheel needs to go faster and use some polishing wax.
