[Showcase] Showoff your celestial landers and share your building tips.

Hey everybody!

Since I've haven't seen a megathread about moon or planetary landers, I thought of starting it myself. I've seen all them fancy space stations, interplanetary ships, and everything else related to the words "Whoa that's a big craft!", but not much about landers. In my opinion these things have their own touch of beauty to the whole space program you're working on, especially if you have a reliable and/or stylish design. And another thing about landers, especially the ones designed for atmospheric entry and return capability to their command ships/modules, have to be meticulously designed to be able to do what they're supposed to. So if there are any pros here that have made their own masterpieces, don't hesitate to show them here, or better yet, give some building tips in making landers. I've been playing KSP for about a month now, and even though I've sent a ship to Jool and back just to see if it's capable of doing it, I find myself kinda hooked to building and refining lander designs and testing them on the Mun and Minmus, and have been having a lot of fun with it. But enough of that, let's get this thread started shall we?

And since it would be impolite to start a lander thread without showing any pics of my own, I present to you . . . the two-man lander which I've named the "Rhino", with it's command module. There's KWRocketry, Bobcat's H.O.M.E. pack, and B9 parts there too. Hope y'all like it.
