Thirty four years ago (at the age of 7 or so) I had a vision. Aces High version 1.5.

Ignore the subs, I was a boy ahead of my time.
My dear old mother sent me this a few weeks ago. She has box full of stuff that I drew as a boy. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

You are lucky u arent 7 today. If anyone ever saw that in todays looney (school)culture you be arrested and prolly deported for displaying violent tendancies. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

whats sad is that Grun is probably right.

Does that ever bring back memories!
I think at 7 I was still in the dinasour phase.
Nice drawing daddog!
-
daddog you and I are very close to same age. Never could draw as well as you. But my dad was a WWII submariner. Built AirPlanes with erector sets, made my first RC submarine complete with balist tanks from PVC piping Right Gard cans for pressure tanks, Aquarium valves for air pluming. Record player motors and other various parts. But Black sheep squadron deffinatly had an influence in all of this.

I used to draw symmetrical top down views of ships on paper and then place the paper on the carpet. Then I'd sight down the pencil and drop it on the paper trying to hit the fleet I'd drawn. I did this during class, but was never caught. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

What cuts me up is how us boys play war and think about it right from birth.
You wouldn't find too many 7 year old girls drawing flaming high seas battle pictures would we? :-)

That plane is overmodeled!!
And don't even get me started on the torps!!
hehe..nice drawing (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I was born in 1970, so I was the EXACT right age for Black Sheep Squadron.
If I had to miss BSS or Battlestar Galactica, I'd cry for HOURS.
My dad was a C-46/C-47 flight engineer in the CBI theatre..so he had some interesting war stories but no combat ones.
He was a crew chief in the DC Air National Guard F-105 unit, so I hung around there some...got to sit in the cockpits, etc.
Speaking of uberplanes, how about those Vipers? Someone should sit down with all the BG episodes and count the Viper/Cylon kill ratio..
I bet it's 500-1.
PERK THE COLONIAL VIPER!

daddog, where's the bug report for you 34 year old sim? I see that the.......

Ewww ! Daddog, My mum showed me a box with the same kind of "projects" last time I went to visit here (prolly too long ago if you ask her (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)). What was realy surprising was that I could still remember why/how I drew these Battlescenes with Jets and Missiles, hehehe, wish I had a scanner too !

ROFLMAO , There in one fell swoop lies the entirety of what I did in Junior High School.
I still remember my teacher saying "You and your silly war drawings" as I was lead by the ear to the principals office.
-
Gawd I have so many old notebooks full of drawings...at present I'm real bad about drawing in the margins, doing visual representations (with my mixed in sarcasm) of lectures.
I think we all had a critter stage, no?

Hehehe, I found my original VFA-112th Raptors concept graphic, back when I first started using that handle, about 6 years ago, back on my AOL page (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Almost makes me wish I didn't switch to the new one, but only almost (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) 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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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!

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.

Well I'm glad that your a normal teacher. Thanks for the post. I don't feel like there all that way now (referring to my previous replay). (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Dad that is a CLASSIC!
I'm pretty sure all mine are gone though. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

NUTTZ I have a question for you. My grandfather had a friend that was supposed to be a great western artist. His name was Mike Owens. Have you ever herd of him? I've been meaning to look him up on the web but his name slips my mind most of the time. I don't know why I remember it now. Any way just curious if you've ever heard the name.

Dadog, that looks kinda like a HTC future version planning sketch to me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I swear I saw something just like it when I visited HTC a while back.
(I did the same type drawings in school, as did my sons)

Remember this show??

12:00 High. I was 11-12 years when this show ran.. saw a few episodes with my uncle. He thought pretty highly of it... told some good stories of his own. Made a hell of an impression on me.. been hung up on WWII Warbirds ever since. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Daddog, that is priceless. I wish I had kept mine.
The real funny thing is... that's what I do now for work!!! I'm a Technical Illustrator for a DoD laboratory, so I get to draw subs, planes, satellites... you name it... and get paid for it!
Sometimes I even make explosion noises while I draw (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
So don't discourage your kids... doodling in math class pays off.

I got in trouble in school for making noises in 5th Grade...
while drawing my usual stick person war...
the overwieght 5th grade girl in front of me told on me for and i quote
"Ms. Stokes? Will you tell Will to stop making Rocket Noises?"
I felt so stupid!
but doodling does pay off...well sort off...maybe it makes you poorer?

12 o'CLk HIGH wasn't on when I was growing up in the early 60's (at least not when I was watching) but Rat Patrol was, boy, I'd get all giddy waiting for that to come on TV.

Combat! Now there was a TV show.
Man, I like that show.
