Babyduck: I´m pleased with the way your entry is coming, since, I´ve been seeing all your updates. The legs themselves look ok to me, and you´ve even tried cutting them apart. You could try Clean Topology on your model, this should lower a bit filesize, although check that you don´t lose anything in the process. Check upon Maya´s docs for Extracting Polygon Faces, this might give you some pointers on how to extract those legs. Hope it helps bud!
i tried extracting polys - but i got 2 seperate polygons and the subd with its cache stayed the same. and if i transfer the 2 parts back to subd, i loose all the changes i made on subd level (and these are quite a lot - all the edges for instance). and as i have no clue how to texture yet, i will spend rest of the time for texturing, shading, light setting up, and rendering. animating it would be overkill
