This is an IMAGINE 2.0 realization of the YAMATO from the Japanese
sci-fi/comic adventure "Star Cruiser Yamato" (which appeared in the U.S. as
a TV show retitled "Starblazers").  As I understand it (all my literature is
directly imported, and I don't read Kanji - just the pictures) this is the
actual Japanese battleship, raised and refitted as a starship.  A dynamite
concept, and in additon to the YAMATO it produced some other visually
striking starships (of which I also plan to upload IMAGINE objects if there
is any interest).

This object is from a small (5-inch/12.7-cm) model produced by Bandai.
Making a few assumptions gives the IMAGINE object a scale of 1 Imagine unit
to 1 meter - at 260m long a bit small compared to major ships from the
StarTrek universe, but other units (true star battleships) are larger;
cruisers and destroyers are smaller.  Tertiary and smaller "guns" have been
ignored.  Turrets and "guns" are grouped objects which can be articulated or
used in your own projects if desired.

This object is free for your use, but may not be distributed without this
file or due acknowledgement to Bandai, the copyright holders of "Star
Cruiser Yamato/Starblazers," and

P.S.  If there are any Japanese or American GEnie subscribers with more
information on the "Star Cruiser Yamato" universe, I'd love to hear from
you.  All I did was collect the models.  -paw
