Just a quick question: Does anyone here have a copy of the book "Spinner Dokuhon"? I saw some images from it and was told it is the reference book for the police spinner.

Got it!! It's a really detailed book. All of the text is in Japanese.

Can you tell me what's it about? Thanks.

I just made a CG trade for my own copy!! It's a detailed book with photos and schematics of the spinner. I'm using it to recreate my spinner mesh for a blade runner fan film i'm working on.

For all practicle purposes, it is basically a large collection of images of the Spinner from Studio Scale to the 1:1 production prop. I wish I could read Japanese so that I could tell you more.

It looks like there are a few chapter headings in english though...

If you would like to know more on any one of the headings above, lemme know and I will do my best to help.

My copy appears to be bound incorrectly. It starts with page 01, goes to page 76, and then page 44, and counts down to a different version of page 01.

Treybor, is your copy the same way??

yes mine is the same!

Thanks for the reply, Treybor and tommin!

Hey, this looks like a very useful and interesting book, but why it's published by Japanese? I 'm interested in getting one myself, where can I find it? ebay?

And I have an idea, maybe we can find someone who knows Japansese and do the translation?

It was published in Japan so it was written in Japanese. I know several people at work that might translate parts of it, but there is a lot of text i the book.

Patryk,

There are a couple of photographs of the Yukon Hotel model they used in the film.

I can e-mail you some scanned copies later this week. Probably not until Friday. My grandmother died and I need to spend some time with the family before the funeral.

sad. my grandmother died around christmas time. i didnt spend any time with family, and i didnt go to the funeral. you're lucky, i dont even know most of my uncles and aunts and cousins. in fact, we're moving to a town my uncle lives in, and ive never even met the cousins. anyways, way off topic. are there any internal spinner shots?
