How big does my shelf need to be...?

Howdy,

My wife got me a Star Destroyer for Christmas and I am looking to put it
together, but I figured I should have a proper place to store it once assembly
is complete.  My home office is full of Lego and I have some free wall space, so
I was going to add another shelf to hold my newest model.

My question is, how large of a shelf do I really need to hold the Destroyer?  I

(The destroyer will be able to hang over the shelf's edge.)

Any help would be great,
Jason

(...) Instead of a shelf, maybe try making a "wall rack" for it. You would probably need 2 to 4 arms for the rack. Put some kind of brackets on the wall, with "arms" sticking out from them that are shaped just right for the SD. Put some kind of foam (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.starwars)
