I built this crane years ago and it took me a long time to finish and in a sense it was never finished. I painted it red, but I was never happy with the result and over the years I made lots of small repairs and alterations.
During the last day of the Cabin Fever Expo something broke and in order to repair it I needed to take the whole thing apart and then I decided to just do it and repaint it.
It took me about 6 weeks of cleaning, sanding and re-finishing and here is the result. i also added dome more details.
