History, Politics And Current Affairs

Here's some pics that have been on Yuckypoo from TLW: they illustrate CVW-5's aircraft. Thanks to John "Maverick" Lacey over on the What-if Modelers board for the illustrations.

More artwork: one more F-14D and two Super Bugs. For more of Maverick's artwork: go to http://www.whatifmodelers.com and have a look at not just his, but all the artists in the profiles and CGI section.

The awesomeness of this awesomeness is totally awesome, man!!

Thanks, Tom. Maverick Lacey deserves the credit for how the artwork came out. Some of the call signs need explanation: Debbie Bradley, "Goalie", had to be one when she was in NFO training. Seems a lot of guys were trying to score with her....And Kara Wade got hers, "Trunks" when she dived into a swimming pool and her bathing suit came off (oops!). Colleen McMurphy's "China B" because she has the same name as the China Beach character.

Here are a few more by Mark Jones (Bader's Bus Company), also from What If Modelers and some of Maverick's other work for TLW.

My thanks again to Mark and John.

I don't know what we'd do without those two artists; they've done so much to bring the planes of TLW to life.

It would be a lot poorer, that's for certain. I'd forgotten just how prolific John and Mark had been on our behalf.

They're seldom kind, but we express respect for our own by *** on them.

"It's a nasty call sign, but it's MINE, dammit!"

Tom old bean, we now need more "awesomeness" to fit into that.

Outstanding work.

More good stuff from Mark: he does a good job.

I really do like his new Photoshop style. You should have a look at his thread, the pics come out better over there for some reason.

Very cool pics, love the harrier ones (I am a harrier fan) they are great
