Having spent an hour creating a model with ZSpheres, I use adaptive skin and get this 
What did I do wrong? Can I fix this or do I have to start over s]from scratch and just hope for the best?
Cheers

it looks like your model is tiny…basing this on your thumbnail preview in your tool menu.
try scaling up your zsphere chain and see if that helps.
I’ve narrowed the problem down to the ZSpheres on the hips - they are ‘transparent’. What does this mean?

Shift them around (or scale) until it appears ‘solid’ again. There are also settings/options in the skinning panel. http://docs.pixologic.com/reference-guide/tool/zsphere/adaptive-skin/
