Does anyone have any suggestions for a minifig scale crawler crane? I plan to
build one and wouldn’t mind getting some info from someone who has tried to
build one or has built one. Does anyone know any websites with one?

Hi Erik, welcome to crane building!
First thing to decide is how long you want the boom, and whether you want it to
be able to actually lift things. A lot of short cuts can be taken if you only
want a model that “looks good”. The biggest problem I’ve found is the boom -
finding a construction technique that is
- strong enough for intended use
- light enough to be held aloft, and
- looks good
is a compromise for which I don’t think there’s a perfect answer in LEGO. But
Ive used several techniques for different applications, all of which I consider
“successful”. So I include here pictures of, and links to, my minifig scale
cranes, with a link to my
construction equipment page. I hope they help!
Regards
ROSCO
