Some background...

When Elite was being packaged for release on the Commodore 64 - Mark Bolitho, a schoolfriend of Ian Bell's, designed some Origami plans for the Cobra MkIII. The intention was that these might also be packed in with the game software, although in the end this didn't come to pass.

For GameCity Squared, Mark has recreated both the Cobra MkIII plans, and designed a whole series of new Elite Origami for you to build and hang in our main arena space. It's in here, that we're going to build a Paper Universe of Elite spaceships, and we want you to help.

Mark is going to be there on the day to help you build your ship, but just incase you want to practise in advance, we're going to be offering a craft every week for you to download and make at home.

This starts here with the escape pod.
