Hm, yeah, you're right. It's a little over half the length.
A minifig scale Star Destroyer would be about 121 feet long and 60.5 feet
wide and cover 3360 sq. ft.
Only covers the space of three small houses, but that's still pretty big for
a minifig scale space ship!

Well, I guess the Eclipse cauculations can apply for the SSD's too, at
least. I kinda whish Lucas specified the dimentions before everyone started
making books and games.
