I guess you'd just place them very close to the camera at a sufficiently small scale so that they appear the desired size but don't disappear behind a wall if you walk into one.

Or render to texture!

You could use a second scene manager to render the models later in the scene. That way the game scene can't collide with the HUD scene. Also lighting from the first scene manager applies through later managers, as I recall. I never noticed any effect to performance.

I would strongly recommend using render to texture! But there are a few other methods like making the 3d objects child of the camera node!
