Yikes, considering that the primitive I made is only 3Kb, How did you get a monster that big? Ok the problem is that you really can not email an attachemnt larger than about 5 meg as most mail handlers freak out with anything bigger. If you could get it somewhere where it can be downloaded I could try to run it through poly removal. The problem will be that after this process if you have made any UV maps for the object they will no longer map right. It is weird I can not see where you are picking up so many extra poly's to make a file as big as you are getting. Even if you used 300 of my little scales you still only end up with a 900K file and it does not seem that you are using that many. Something other than the scales is adding file size big time. What modeling software are you using? I used Lightwave to create the obj, but I can find my way around 3DS Max as well.
