I have used CCP4MG to produce a molecular surface of the model that i have been working on. There is an example in the online documentation to produce a molecular surface for the entire molecule or for a subset of atoms, and color it by solvent accessibility or other properties. It produces beautiful images, although if you do not have a relatively fast processer, computation of the surface might slow your machine temporarily. The have been able to produce these molecular surfaces in CCP4MG running on a Windows Vista machine.
Hope this helps. Avi.
