My room when I was a kid, 4th through 7th grade.

And some planes on fire close ups:

And a 109 that made it home:

Nice collection, however, the box says "this end up" and that end is at the bottom. Living dangerously.

did you sleep on the floor?

And, you clearly are guilty of improper use of a cardboard box. This side up my arse!

LOL, I didn't even notice the boxes. That was my spray painting booth. I killed many brain cells in that room. It was too cold to open windows so I just breathed it all in. That's really just half of the room; it was kind of U shaped. I had 70 airplanes hanging from the ceiling.

Show's you how my mind works: I thought the tape on the window was the profile of an aircraft carrier.

Once in the summer I opened the window to let the smoke out of the room. My friend and I were throwing firecrackers at the planes; trying to take them down with direct flack hits. One landed on the nearly horizontal open window and actually blew out a chunk of the single pane glass. The tape was my repair.

And yet it looks like an aircraft carrier.

Hmmm....

Nowadays it's a lot more difficult to keep a table like this if you're a kid:

Hell, I'm not sure a minor is even allowed to buy this stuff any more.

Plus, that paint alone is a lot of money.

Just from those pics, I'd say you were pretty good eskimo.
