Default thinking of crane. any idea's or help?

hey guys i know i ask alot of questions, sorry

but im thinking of my next project for the summer. im thinking of makeing a crane. i want to make a clam shelf digger for it too.

now to be true to scale should i make it a tube type boom or a ladder frame?
you think it's ok to use crawler winches for the spools? or should i use something else? sitting at my desk i count 4 channels for the crane. and the big one! how big would be cool? i'm thinking 4 foot tall?

any ideas help or what you'd do is cool. it's going to be a few mouths away but i'm doing the planning so again any help thanks!
