SandcastleIn Blender without modifiers applied: Polygons: 3544 vertices: 3574
You can change the ground plane by moving some vertecis down so it blends in the ground.
I have added low poly and high poly files. (HP = Highpoly, LP = Lowpoly)
If you have any questions, problems or requests regarding these or other models, let me know I am happy to help.
