Good sol, everyone! I decided to build my own collection of rockets in one scale. As in real world, rockets could vary from 1 to 100 meters, the most optimal scale to choose was 1:220. Also, official ISS set is made in the same scale, so visiting vehicles would be able to dock to it the same as to their rocket carriers. And the first one, the very obvious too, Falcon 9 is here:

Falcon Cover

 

Of course, the smaller the rocket, the harder it is to recreate all its features. Yet i managed to make as close to the real thing as possible.

 

Falcon

The rocket can be divided by stages. Merlin engine of the upper stage hides inside hollow half-cylinder parts of the first stage.

 

Falcon_2

 

 

 

 

Landing legs and grid fins can be deployed to replay the landing phase of the launch.

 

Falcon_3

 

The first stage is built in such a way, that it can be stacked as close together as possible to get the proper look of Falcon Heavy

Falcon_6

 

Which side boosters can "land" too

Falcon_9

 

In flight, they are securely attached via straight pneumatic connectors

Falcon_7

The standard Falcon 9 also comes with a Crew Dragon (or cargo, if you wish). Which can be configured in lauching, docking or landing version

Falcon_5

Finally, there are some easter eggs inside the fairings - a stack of Starlinks and something red...

Falcon_8

If you want to build it yourself - here are the instructions:

I will post next rockets soon. You may find them in my profile or by rocketgarden hashtag.

After making more precise measurements, I've greatly upgraded the Falcons. Here are the final version.

Falcon_2

 

Falcon_9

 

Falcon_3

 

 

 

Falcon_5

 

Falcon_8

 

Falcon_10

 

Falcon_7

 

Falcon_6

 

Now they are one of the if the most accurate 1:220 lego copies of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.
