Let's see if we can't get this accomplished before Mortis gets back. 
Here's the construction of the similar composition and similarly-CRed tin golem:
So maybe swap out the requisite spells with mirror image (for the reflective surface since spell turning is too high-level), grease (to represent oiling the joints), and bull's strength?

So...
The materials involved in the construction of a tin golem's body are inexpensive (400 gp), but the actual crafting of the body is more difficult. To craft the body requires a DC 20 Craft (armorsmithing) or a DC 20 Craft (weaponsmithing) check. The body is then infused with with magial energies and components that turn the inanimate metal into a construct.
CL 5th; Craft Construct, bull's strength, grease, misdirection, caster must be at least 5th level; Price 6,400 gp; Cost 3,400 gp + 240 XP.
Wanna change anything else or go with this?

Here's the last one from I11. I'm not sure if this even needs to be a unique creature. Maybe a template, or maybe simply a brief paragraph as a roc variant.
Roc, Moon
(Adapted Monster)
Armor Class: 4
Move: 3" /24"
Hit Dice: 18
No. of Attacks: 2 claws or 1 beak
Damage: 3d6/3d6 or 4d6
THACO: 7
Alignment: N
Size: L (70' wingspread)
Intelligence: animal
STs: 11
Stw: 10
The lunar variety of this species was created by some mad wizard. Moon rocs need no air and fly magically, using their wings only for stability. They are immune to all gases and feed on and are cured by light and heat, absorbed through the wings. Moon rocs are otherwise very similar to their terrestrial cousins.
From elsewhere in the module:
"Just in time!" pants Ackack. "Gee whiz; have to fix that later." If questioned, he describes the two predatory creatures of the lunar surface: rock creatures which stand about 10 feet tall, and huge birds like the one just seen, which have a 70-foot wing-spread. "They appear similar to birds of your world," Ackack comments, "but have adapted to ours. Great and fierce creatures they are, who do not know fear. You will probably not encounter any in your travels, but if you do, beware! Gee whiz! They are called moon rocs."
