should be much lower res than that! 
You should look at getting all the details into this using texture maps rather than modelling it all. It'll take you ages. Maybe you should just model the foreground elements and then use planes for the rest.

As for the job in modelling i know that i wouldn't make it through the first day without getting fired.
Pure_Morning, Thanks for the advice. I started modelling this for the fun of doing so and not really as a modelling exercise, so i wasn't really bothered about how high my poly count got. I'll have a look and see if i can find this model on any backup CDs, although i doubt it as i never remember to back anything up. If i can't find it i'll start it again but using your low res approach.
I can see you've got another big movie to your name now, life at Framestore CFC hey.
