SHRIMP - Ion Micro Lander

[DANIELJBC]

Hello, I was just wondering if you can do a video on how to build this ship? I'm a beginner in KSP and would love to build the SHRIMP, but I don't understand the parts and craft files. If you could make a video of how to build this or send me a link of a video already made I would love it. By the way, awesome video

If you would like to figure out how this is built, I'd recommend downloading the craft file.  Here's how to install craft files:
 

Spoiler

 

Download craft here (stolen from OP): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jw265q43hmd4h69/AAB_ul8bUfhYJvnzXIH1Sqnpa?dl=0

A popup will appear, press save file

Go to your downloads folder and copy the Shrimp - Ion Micro Lander.craft file to <Wherever KSP is installed on your computer>/saves/<save name>/VAB 
E.g., C:/KSP_Win/saves/<my save name>/VAB

Launch KSP

When KSP has loaded, load your the save you copied the craft into

 @DANIELJBC , if you are new to KSP dont be disappointed if you can not reproduce a craft like the Shrimp, or any other of Cupcakes landers or other more advanced builds you might find here. It really take some practice, and often there is more to these craft than meets the eye, balancing etc.

I suggest you download the craft and take it apart bit by bit, so you can see how it is made up. Follow @Mad Rocket Scientist's instructions.

Also keep in mind that people sometimes use editor mods, such as the no-offset-limit mod, to create more advanced craft.

Think about things like fuel balance and control perspective etc, start many builds and test them a lot, copy crafts and try to come up with your own desings, in other words: practice practice practice and you will get there.

Spread throughout CUpcakes main thread, the Dropship Dealership, you might find building tips and even an old tutorial, but be aware that many things have changed in the editor too.

As the fellas say perhaps download the craft and see how you get on, if anythings still not making sence drop me a line and I'll do my best to help. Ta.

Thank you for helping me out. Mad Rocket Scientist helped me before. They gave me all the instructions for doing the craft file downloading, but The MRS is on Windows and I'm running a MacBook Pro. I don't know if any of you use a Mac, but if any of you do, and know how to download the craft files, I would really appreciate it as the SHRIMP looks extremely fun

@DANIELJBC did it work for you now? I have no experience with Mac, but I imagine it should be just as easy.

If you still have trouble you can PM me your email and I will send you the file directly.

cheers

In the video, there is a mining rover shown at the 3 min mark.  Did you make that, and if so, would you be willing to share?

I made it as a prop and I'm afraid I've no idea what I've done with the craft file. Sorry.
