MK3 Lander Design Needed

[Mr. Peabody]

Basically I need an MK3 lander that can land on Minmus with an MK3 crew cabin and enough fuel to get back to Kerbin. I have built many landers in the past but none on this scale. If you guys could be kind enough to show me your designs I would be very appreciative.

Here's a single-stage (after reaching LKO) Mk 3 lander I've been using lately.  It can make a full circuit to the Mun, Minmus, interplanetary space and back on one tank.  This version requires a mod to switch the fuel tank/adapter to LF only, but you could do a similar (uglier) design with a short Mk 3 LF tank.  The command pod is also modded, but you can swap in pretty much any pod/cabin on top, or just use a probe core and some reaction wheels.  If you launch it in a fairing, no need to worry about aerodynamic design.

This can either be refueled in space and reused indefinitely, or modified with chutes to land back at Kerbin.

 

 

If you'd rather not go nuclear, you could probably do an LFO version of this with Terriers on the nacelles.  And then maybe radially attach a couple detachable 2.5m nacelles with Poodles for extra range.
