I also got curious about scales of things and looked a bit. Mostly I just wanted to find out where Mari and Shinji landed after N4I from this pano which looks like based on real aerial imagery.
But without knowing the size of the Black Moon it was hard to do anything.
The result is I found several things have inconsistent scales and was unable to go on.
First, it is established by Shinji that the inner Nerv ruins in the Inverted Pyramid is the original one, not replica. So Craftee's Figure 4 correctly derives the length of the old Nerv pyramid, 400m. Therefore the inner Nerv ruins has length of about 1km. Craftee's Figure 2 should not be able to get the exact size of the Inverted Pyramid due to unknown perspective projection but that is not a huge problem. We know that the length of the Inverted Pyramid must be at least twice that of the inner Nerv ruins, so I'll give it 3km for the Inverted Pyramid. The numbers so far are reliable.
Then we see from this pano
The altitude of the Inverted Pyramid is 10 times the height of it (therefore 30km), and also the radius of the crater (of 3I?) is 20 times the height of the Inverted Pyramid (therefore 60km). But the numbers from this images are problematic because it is only 15km from Geofront to the nearest shore,
Overhead view of N3I aligned to Google Maps which locates Geofront. The radius of the outer ring is 10km. (This also shows there was no sea level change after 2I?!)
So if the crater is as big as of 60km radius, it would flatten Mount Fuji and get filled by seawater, which is obviously not true. So this pano is probably out of proportion. The appearance of the crater is also inconsistent with this pano
http://evageeks.org/images/screens/eva- ... yramid.jpg. These panos are oil paintings so they can be excused for having wrong scales.
There are other inconsistent scales.
The radius of the Black Moon is 75x the diameter of the "pipe". The length of the the Inverted Pyramid is 25x the diameter of the "pipe". So the radius of the Black Moon is 3x the length of the Inverted Pyramid? (9km?) But Craftee's Figure 1 shows the top of the Black Moon is 20x the length of the Inverted Pyramid.
But anyway from Google Maps it is measured 20km from Geofront to the near side of Mount Fuji. For Mount Fuji to exist after 3I and N4I, the radius of the Black Moon must be less than 20km. (The 15km radius from nearest shore can probably be ignored if we assume 3I terraforms so much it created new walls around the crater and prevented seawater from filling in.)
I think the only problem with Craftee's 120km diameter estimate probably comes from Figure 1 where the scales of the Inverted Pyramid and the Black Moon are inconsistent.
From this
http://wiki.evageeks.org/File:Eva3-33_C1477_blackmoon.jpg cut (the view is from North East) we see the top of the Black Moon extends beyond Mount Fuji. The bottom of the Black Moon should stay near Geofront as we see from the sequence when Eva-13 falls to the ground the bottom has not been lifted above the ground. The distance from Geofront to the far side of Mount Fuji is 30km. So the estimate for the diameter of the Black Moon from this cut is 30km.
All these can be excused by "artistic scales" so it's probably not very useful to model them geometrically.
Also, apparently Mount Fuji has disappeared in the preview (Craftee's Figure 5), though this may just be an error.

I think the estimate of 11km is way off. But it's very hard to see from this cut so I won't use the height of Mount Fuji. Also, settings from NGE are probably not applicable to NTE here.
