About this 3D model

A smoking gnome riding a whale propped up by planks of wood. This was created in OpenSCAD as a mashup exercise following the tutorial at: http://www.makerbot.com/tutorials/openscadmashup/ Doing a compile & render took forever until I simplified the meshes I was using with meshlab (see files). I also had to increase the memory for CGAL (edit -> preferences -> advanced). After doing this, I was able to render and export an STL in about 15 minutes.
