Thanks for the replies and comments guys.

At the moment i'm using Rhino 3D version 4 evaluation to model with but I have access to 3D Studio Max  through work too. I'm enjoying Rhino a lot and I find it much less intimidating than 3DS!

I have downloaded a copy of the free version of UVMapper but I have yet to make sense of it. I guess a bit of playing around and I should be able to get a texture map out.

I would like to create material groups and I've been giving some thought to how I would split the model up into groups through the modelling process. I think that procedural shaders would work nicely on parts of the wall such as the steel lattice.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate your help. :biggrin:
