Hello
I'm Jonathan from Germany
I found out that it's possible to build wipeout-like-ships only with a single cheat of Paper.
I self came on that idea by following my hobby of bird folding.
I'm proud of my first Feisar (I painted it).

Sounds a bit like that girl whose site gets hosted by Kotaku. I lost her name, but didn't she do AG Crafts too?
Anyway, I'd like to see a picture of that too! What a great way to spend time in boring classes ;)

Here it is
All made on imagination
The paintings too.
I will reproduce them and Paint it like ther digital originals.
Then I will focus on this white-red AG Sys craft in F5000.

To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. They are Fantastic!

I would love to expand my paper crane collection with some AG racing ships ^_^

Thank's
but some paintings are bad:-|

but mybe it seems me that somebody who invented wipeout first could be an japanese origami folder who take it as the start of his fiction.
because I know origami let's not every figure to exist from that bird base I take.
Maybe an explanation but who know who came on the Idea of wipeout?

But yeah I will try to fold in A4 format and take fotos.

this TU logo one one of these picturs is the "Technische Universität Berlin"
where I'm gonna be an Ingenieur :)

The guys who made the first WipEout ship designs were Jim Bowers and Nick Burcombe, the creators of the first two Wipeout games. Bowers built a large model [at least half a meter long] of the first one.

That appears to be a 2097 Auricom at the back of the group photo. Nice.

Not exactly. ;) That's Nick Burcombe on the left and Nicky Westcott, the lead artist, on the right.

I don't think we have any pics of Jim around.

Now, now, stevie, you have a few spare kilos of your own. You should leave this sort of jibing to me, since I only weigh about 54 kilos, if that much.

Good thing that I am fAr too sensitive and civilised to make fun of people's weight.

[laughs and points] ;)
