That looks great! So what did you do for the staircases and hand railings? They add so much to the look of it.

The bare bones mock up only took about an hour, but took a few weekends to do the detail work.

The stairs and railing are 1/87 stuff. The 1/50 stuff is way to big, and I think visually it looks closer to the picture of the real crane with the 1/87 stuff.

Looks great for such a short build time, I would have guessed it took much longer.
