Mike, I love your logarithmic universe image. I created one by hand when I was 10 years old, shortly after seeing the Charles and Ray Eames short film (1968 version). I used a roll of blank adding machine tape and the scale was approximately one power of ten per foot of adding-machine tape. Thus I did not show the full 360 degrees. The drawing included a human figure whose head appeared smaller than his big toe. I’m pretty sure I used a slide rule to aid in measurement and placement.
The picture was also created using Eames' movie.
