Speaking of the ATV, there was this interesting excerpt in a story today at spaceflightnow.com about ESA ending production of the ATV:

One option, tentatively favored by Germany but dismissed by Italian and French space officials, is to sign an agreement with NASA to supply a service module to the Orion crew capsule, or multipurpose crew vehicle. The service module would be based on the ATV's propulsion section.

It's been ages since I've built anything (have been busy and just generally uninspired, model-wise) but that would be an interesting scratchbuild.
