Description
I don't have many pieces of art remaining from my childhood... and those I do have only surfaced by a fluke! This is another of those handful of images. While other kids were drawing houses, cars, and smiling suns in the sky, I jumped right to space craft.This is around age 4-5... when Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL-5 (in it's first run) was my FAY-voh-right TV show!! I'm not sure, but I think I tried creating some new ship types based on the XL-5 design, as well as trying to the show's ship some justice.
Medium: Big, fat ole pencil on newsprint-quality paper.

'JJ Abrams you have been accused of war crimes against all of Sci-Fi-dom. Deeds so terrible there can be only one punishment. You will, therefore, be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all powerful Sarlacc. In its belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over aβ¦thousand years.'

Bet Jabba has pity on the Sarlacc, it's a bit of a cruel and unusual punishment for an innocent pit full of teeth.

I'm 50+ Loved the show and have a diecast of the ship, love to see it with an Eagle 1999 type front instead of the OTT glazed area, just the two top windows.

You must be around the same age as me. I was enthralled by Fireball XL5, and I strongly remember my friends and I being at school and making our own versions with Plasticine (modelling clay), using a ballpoint pen for the main body.

I think I tried making my models from cardstock. I never did get that cool biggish Fireball XL-5 toy that I wanted. It was on my Christmas list two years running! It came with figures and everything!

My dad had that and still misses it.

I've made several XL-5 derived fanships for Battletech... and there's a DoGA 3D model I've got lying around. I'll have to dig it up.
