you could make a mini-Eiffle tower out of toothpicks
but it would take forever
I do know from photos that there was a framework installed to build the 4 rounded arches near the base, then the framework was removed when the arches were complete and could support the weight on their own

First get a million pounds of steel - drilled for rivits.
No - use 4 long pieces of wire for the corners and run wire in arches, etc., to build up the shape as copied from a photo, using a compass to scale the height, width and details. It helps to make a full sized sketch of one side of the model first so it is to be 3 feet tall, you scale the width of the base and go from there.
Use glue and thread to wrap the wires and hold together or solder copper wire.

If you need to have it that soon it's best to go for a paper model:
