| (...) Ed Toton made a lunar Monolith scene, but the dimensions weren't listed (it's way too small to be 2x8x15, though): (URL) Thomas did make a LEGO-based movie version of 2001, and according to the responses, it did include a Monolith that (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)

So...at the *PROPER* LEGO dimensions, the Monolith would then be... (drum (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)

I can't recall any specific uses of that design that I've seen, but I'd still be surprised if it hasn't been used before by someone (flip it upside-down and it sounds like a neat idea for part of a nano-scale building).
