Lego 2001

Discovery and Leonev. [Link]
That's a six-foot-long, 3,873-piece, 1:60 scale model of the Discovery One spaceship above, and check out a cheerful "Dawn of Man" diorama that consists primarily of monkeys, black plastic bricks, and bones.
Allemann also built a 3,670-brick model of the Leonov vessel from 2010: The Year We Make Contact. For those of you have six feet of floor space to spare, he's drafted a construction guide for the Discovery One (PDF), so put on some Richard Strauss and get cracking.

The Leonev is one of my favorite fictional spaceships and is a very direct inspiration for the Omega class destroyer from Babylon 5.
