I want you to create each base pair, using cylinders. Change its size to match the measurements below. After creating one, rotate it 90 degrees, then copy and paste the second one, and put them back to back. They can be whatever color you want, but should have repeating patterns (i.e, you can do do red and yellow, then orange and green, and repeat those colors). Their measurements should be (before rotating):

Then, connect each base pair, using cylinders; use the measurements found below. These should be red. Once one is created, you can copy and paste so that you have 2. One will need to be rotated 15 degrees, and the other rotated to -15 degrees, to account for the fact that the top base pair is rotated. Use these to connect each base pair. MAKE SURE THEY ARE CENTERED. Rotate around your design to make sure they are properly centered.
