Aces High 34 years ago...

[daddog]

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.

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.  

[TheWobble]

whats sad is that Grun is probably right.

[Nash]

Does that ever bring back memories!

I think at 7 I was still in the dinasour phase.

Nice drawing daddog!

[hitech]

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.

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!!

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!

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  ). 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.

[Jigster]

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   Almost makes me wish I didn't switch to the new one, but only almost

I thought *I* was a weird boy for drawing such things (in class, too).

Aw, man. THIS is my home  .
