I built one of these - kinda - from looking at the rendering before you
posted the DAT file, Steve, and I used the 4-blade freestyle propellors
instead of the Technic 3-blade rotors - much easier to find, and grey
and black look OK once the vegetation is on. I also put a freestyle leaf
piece on the very top, which I think improves it.
Thanks muchly for the idea Steve - it's a great tree!
