LOL HiTech,
I scratch built and RC sub also.  Although it kind of worked, it really sucked and imploded at a depth about 30 inches.  I scratch built great planes, but didn't know jack about subs.

We drew small top down view of ships,cut them out and floated them in the toilet, then "shot" at them (standing up) until they sunk. My shooting in AH is no better 35 years later, spray and pray

IT'S TRUE! My friends kid got in trouble at school and they had him come in for a parent teacher conference over pictures exactly like that! I drew those all of the time IN school and out of school when I was a kid. No one freaked out then. I'm not an axe murderer. So what is the damn Barny'ed up deal today. You wont have games like AH 20 years from now. They will all fly around in little pink balloons and sing Barny songs. LOL! I guess things have change since I was seven. Cowboys and Indians. WWII John Wayne reenactments in the dirt pile in the vacant lot. Underground forts. The plastic guns that looked like real Thompsons and Colt 45 Auto's. BB gun wars   OUCH! That was 28 years ago so... I had been shooting my dads .22 for about a year under his supervision. I got my first .22 at 10 and my first shot gun at 12. Things they are changing.

I was blessed with the artistic ability of a twitchy drunk yard gnome, so I will be printing all pictures on this post and when I have kids I will tell them I drew them so that they wont know their daddy is  Art-Autistic doofus whose drawings mad the art teacher violently ill, and get teased at school, and grow up with low self esteem problems...etc I hope you all understand

BTW guys,
I am a first grade teacher.
Heck, I practically encourage my 7 year old students to draw and write about such stuff.
I did as well (and also blew up model airplane that were swinging on strings, etc.) and I turned out just fine... didn't I?  Just because I now spend upwards of 20 hours a week "playing war" doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with me... or does it?

daddog;
Awesome picture for a seven-year-old!
<S>

I was blessed at an early age, I could always draw, and had an "artist" perspective.
I had a great teacher in high school ( he had a Doctors degree in Art) who helped refine my talents. For 4 years, two classes a day i took his course, for 4 years I got straight F's in his class. His reasoning for the F's were... "The other students put every effort to turn out the CRAP that they do, you put out beautiful art with no effort."

I have chunked out tens of thousands of pieces of artwork, and remember everyone like they were my children.

Vargas, made an impression on me with his "Vargas Girls" and his use of the Airbrush. I emmediately liked this media of art, and it has paid the bills for the last 25 years.
