This is a fantastic idea for a thread. I have much fewer breakdowns or skeleton shots than I expected. This is probably because I tend to build one-off frames and not iterate on a single design. But I wanted to post what I had here.
One of my oldest frames is the Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Model VS-MX-04 'Rangi' (
thread here,
Flickr album here).
Here's a Skeleton/Breakdown:

One of my absolute favorites of my own builds is the KS-612χ 'Scylla' from Voyna Engineering Ltd. (
thread here,
Flickr album here). I don't have a complete breakdown since the top is basically all greebles. The body of the frame is just a one brick thick stack with hardpoints along the sides and SNOT bricks in the middle.

I also want to give a shout out to
another thread where I compiled a list of official small frames released by LEGO.
