Let's try maths on that! An Imperial Star Destroyer is ~1600m long, and has a volume of ~9.3e7m³ [1]. At 1/4 scale, it would be 400m long and have a volume of 9.3e7/4³ ≈ 1.45e6m³. The largest zeppelin ever made was the Hindenburg, which was 245m long and had a volume of ~2e5m³ [2].

I think your dream is unlikely to come to fruition, but zillionaire is in the right ballpark!

Bring on the 1/8 scale model!

Let's make it 1/8 scale, then.

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! You'd need to include externally-facing loud speakers so that you can choose to play Vader's imperial theme song upon approaching people/places.

Instead of building a star destroy you could build a full scale Zerg Overlord for much cheaper, may only require a multi millionaire.

And have the loudspeakers blare "EAAAARGH! AAEEEIIGHHH!" at regular intervals.
