Nice crane

I saw this on another forum. I think it would make a great project for someone here. A lovely shape with a great rust patina.

Here are some additional pics of this crane...enough to build a pretty good model I think!

There's a nearly identical crane in Mt Holly, NJ.  There are some crappy photos (it was late and I was losing the light, plus the full-size photos need to be rotated) here http://www.olimpia.com/photos/Mt-Holly04/mt_holly.html
