I grew up watching Star Blazers as a young teen.
I especially liked the fact that they were flying in a real Naval ship.
Several years ago I came cross files for making a papercraft Space Battleship Yamato. It was only later I realized they were pirated when I realized there were scale differences between some of the pages. I managed to get the hull together and was working on the big gun turrets when I realized it wasn't going to work.
I'd still like to make it one day. And I've found a few copies of the original book on eBay. Seems it was a one-off design for publication.
UHU02 is currently working on a WWII version of the Original Battleship Yamato. With extensive internal detail. I'm curious about his design, but I don't know if I'm motivated enough to build that version.
