This might be due to the ordering of the transparent objects relative to the 
non-transparent parts.  Is/are the model objects in .AC format?  If so (I 
don't know if this also applies to other object formats such as .3DS) try 
moving the transparent parts to the bottom of the object hierarchy/list.
