Model a Pendant Light - advice?

[Morne]

Hi all

How would I go about modelling (or fake with textures) this:

I need to make couple of different sizes and it won't be seen up close. Far in a distance and maybe medium distance.

Model it without the corkscrew / twist on the lats, then use an ffd to rotate the middle sections. Do it in two layers with the inner ffd rotating the opposing direction.

Well when you put it like that......
DUH, comes to mind

Thanks John, you've come to the rescue once again!
