You may be interested in following Tom Stanton on YouTube. He built a radio controlled SpaceX model a few months ago.[1] It was barely controllable, and wasn't designed with actual propulsion engines, but still very cool. As others have been commenting, it's a completely different ballgame if you want to use propulsion engines and still be able to land it. At that point, you're just building a smaller version of the real SpaceX rockets, and that sounds much more difficult (not to discourage anyone from trying!).
