Ya know this is a ironic thing. A couple of years ago I wanted to start my own motion picture "studio scale" ships and recreations. I planned to comission some artisans and techs to produce large full scale replicas of the "Sulaco" from Aliens, the Mad Max "Interceptor" and the Superman crystal rocket. But that dream was never realized due to Icons and Master Replicas hitting the scene. But one of the things I always wanted to do was produce/own a large scale reproduction of the Discovery...which I think is one of the greatest ships in move history...
Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

You're right: the discovery studio scale was Huge (see my first post) comared to the star Destroyer from Star Wars (around 32 inch Length if I remember well).
In the 2001 movie you have ships which could still be real. And some have very good designs. Unfortunately, Kubrik destroyed all the scale models used for the movie
