A Catamaran, a Hydrofoil and a German Paddle steamer for ops on the Rivers in Germany.

The Title says it all.

           Besides the Freebies(A whole bunch of well built, but poorly detailed and lightly damaged Revell ships) this is what I absconded with at the last Model Show and contest in New Braunfels.

 The Catamaran is a Model of the "Playstation" Record Breaker.(A Heller kit) Complete with 5 tins of Humbrol paint, a Brush and a Tube(Small) of Glue

 The Pegasus-A Hydrofoil that with her sister(The Tucumcari) Opened the Navy's eyes to a new way of doing things.

 Then the third.The REVELL of GERMANY release in 1/160 ("N"scale) of a paddle Wheel steamer(Passenger Ferry ? ) the "Goethe". Colorful and super detailed!( She is one of the rare Articulated Wheel ships in existance.).

     In all, I walked out of there with approximately $300.00 bucks worth of ships and boats for under $50.00 bucks cash. And, this was not at the end of the day either, rather early in the morning!

The title sounds like a variant of the "A priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into a bar" joke.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

You Know! I never even thought about that ! LOL.LOL.!

        Hey! speaking of my haul. This "Steamer Goethe" I bought probably third hand. When I settled down to build this intricate construct and improve on it as I am always wont to do. I discovered something. A big part of her was Missing! The decals. A  gorgeous set of beautiful markings that really set her apart.The kit has a 2017 date on it. How do I get those decals? My hand painting is sketchy now with the Parkinson's and I don't want to ruin her!

      As far as her painting goes, Surprise ,Surprise, I have the colors she is supposed to have. Geez! I am glad I did model railroad stuff for a German city. I have ALL the right colors leftover and enough to paint her! She is unique in that German River steamers aren't seen that much. I have an R.C. Model in 1/8 scale of the "Thames" "Penny Steamer". I built her out of Lexan and Styrene(Love Evergreen ) To a set of plans for a wooden R.C. Model, and she still works today, She's now over forty years old!. Folks still like her too!

Where can I obtain the missing decals for my 2017 Steamer Goethe model kit to ensure I can accurately paint it without hand painting due to my Parkinson's condition?

Thanks in advance!

The title sounds so strange, it has nothing to do with each other. "A priest, a pastor and a rabbi walked into a bar."
