Looks good to me (but I have not tried that material yet - answering more out of courtesy as I downloaded your model to look at it in netfabb - wait another day for the real wizards to comment, if you can).
Merging the parts is probably safer than letting the shapeways software do their magic during the upload, however.
Also this model is of similar size (actually a bit smaller even), so it could give you an idea what level of detail to expect.

There is an oddity to how the thickness of separate shells are measured. As it is, the letters and the tail are going to get flagged as incorrect. I would advise that YES, you should union all the parts together into a single shell.
You can also do this very easily if you upload the item to http://cloud.netfabb.com
If you want a formal answer you should to send your file to service@shapeways.com They pay attention to the forums, but they check and deal with requests from email before they have the luxury of reading thru the forums.

Thank you very much for your answers.
I tweaked the model a little bit today, let it be repaired by the netfabb cloud service and finally had the courage to upload it to Shapeways. Let's hope for the best...
I guess you'll read about it in the "It arrived!" section, if it works out fine
