Default Repairable Mars Lander Modification

In one of my previous threads I mentioned a possible thread on building a Mars Lander with serviceable "guts".

I have a Semroc Mars Lander of which I've completed the major sub-assemblies. I'm basing the modification on the ML procedural by Kenneth Jarosch's in the May/June 2008 issue of Sport Rocketry, but I'll probably be adding some of my own techniques. TBC

I did a repairable build several years ago. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Found it.

BTW, Martin Marietta is no more. Are you going to go with custom Lockheed Martin decals?

Excellent! I was wondering how to do the bottom shroud. Now I know--if you don't mind me using your idea.
