In my early days of Papercrafting, I "found" a copy of Space Battleship Yamato. But when I started building it I found the hull pieces didn't quite fit. Then I realized the scale of each page was off. Eventually I realized it wasn't something I wanted to continue building, even if I could adjust the prints because it was obviously not original.

I have seen copies of the same book on ebay that did look like original copies, but I never had the money to spend at the time.
Someday I'd love to get an original copy to build. Or wait for someone to make a new one.
I was a huge fan to Star Blazers! And really liked the 2010 movie as well.

Very nice.
This is the one I'm talking about:

The one from France seems more trust worthy to me.
It has an actual photo of the book in cellophane rather than just the cover art.

The designer just tweeted a link to a sort of Kickstarter he’s got:

The reward is a 1/144 scale paper Yamato available for supporters only.

The base level to support and get a pdf is 3000 yen, which google handily told me is usd 27.70

for a 1;144 scale that equates to a good price

Am I correct in that 183 cm is equal to about 6 feet? Not as good with metrics as I should be. I just thought the 1/100 Monitor was going to be impressive but this is right there because of the size.
