   I did some searching and while I found a few other places that sell them, it appears they are all folded. Amazon had several reviews (which I'm sure you read) complaining about them being folded. You could make your own quite easily and have a print shop print them on whatever size paper you want. I did a quick and extremely incomplete one just to show as an example here: http://flic.kr/p/9XFSxL It won't look like much because it was set up to print on large paper. You could make them to any size paper you want and set the line color to a light non-reproducible blue. Have lots of them printed and then you could draw right on the grid rather than tracing paper.

   Art Supplies

   Did you try dickblick.com? An art supply retail and online store?

   Really, though, you don't need perspective charts. I have a good size drafting table, a straightedge and a 30/60 triangle and just do my drawings in isometric (something like perspective).

   Just draw in perspective if you want.

   I haven't done it in a couple of decades, but it isn't hard.  Just another step in the drawing process.

   Like Blue Prints

   These look like the kind of thing you'd expect to find in a place selling drafting supplies.  But like lead holders, eraser shields and pencil pointers, these are a bit out of fashion.    I hear it is really hard to find diazo paper anymore so it doesn't surprise me these are scarce too.  But if you find a place selling these sorts of items I bet they have the charts and would mail them in a tube.

   My reaction to the article was why you wouldn't just use sketch up.  If you understand how to draw in perspective, making a model seems almost as easy.  Oh I know.  Drawing, hand tools, and those old skills being forgotten.
