Hi, don’t got much to do right now so I just started playing around with blender. This is what I got.

Its alright.

Be nice if the cubes have texture.

Here’s a simple stone texture.

I think the counterweight on the back of the crain is too small. The crane would look a bit more realistic if was a bit bigger. Also, the horizontal parts of the crane are too small (the “arms” which are pulling the block and holding the counterweight). I’d suggest you take a close look at the sideview of a crane in order to get the proportions right.

OK, here’s the update. I’m 99% sure that the proportions are right.

The proportions are better now. But there is another thing : a crane is usually mounted on a platform ,sometimes this platform is equiped with wheels other times it’s not, I think it has something to do with the height of the crane. And a last thing I would add, a crane usually has cabine. Yours hasn’t. If you want more realism you should add a cabine IMO.

Try lowering the camera, as that kind of crane is usually viewed from below, giving it more realism.

Actually, this kind of crane is just bolted into the ground.
