I was inspired to create this rocket model after watching the test launch of Space X's Falcon Heavy. It also now includes a two piece Crew Dragon capsule and newly improved TESS model.
As usual, I designed it to be 3d printable without external supports and as easy as possible to assemble.
All the pieces slot together with a medium to tight fit, so some clean up may be required on some pieces. No glue (Apart from greeblies) will be required.
I also designed adapters so that 50mm PVC pipe can be used for the main body sections to reduce printing time. I have supplied greeblies(detail) that can be glued onto the PVC for some detail.
All pieces fit into each other. The total height would be close to a meter high if the correct number of sections is used on this model.
The landing legs snap open with the use of pistons and close by clipping onto the body. So it can be displayed with the landing legs up or down. I show the release button on the pistons facing up in my video, but for better stability, the piston must be turned around so that the release button is on the bottom.

I hope you enjoy this model as much as I do. Cheers!
