I’m looking to build the scaffolding/frame similar to the photos (linked below), and would like to learn from other’s attempts. If it has been attempted.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Aaron,

It depends a lot on the dimensions. You might wanna try searching for cranes with lattice booms, as various techniques have been used for those which may work for you. Here are some examples to get you started:

And the new 8288 crawler crane set may give you ideas:

800 elements, 0 figures, US$50, 2006
LEGO > TECHNIC

ROSCO

I will try some of those search words. Hopefully it will help.

But you seem to suggest that my options are technic - studless or otherwise?

Aaron
