With you, Casey, the possibilities are ENDLESS!

Blah, blah, blah.

What horse-****. All you need is black, white, the primary colors and a color-wheel. What did you pay for that, 'nuclear submarine painting-by-the-numbers play-set'?

How did I know you would whine? I got it for $10.00 through my local hobby shop which I support. Sue me.

Today's hobby shops are only good for glue, magazines and bad advice issued by a blue-haired, tattooed guy(?) with more hardware in his/her face than a steam locomotive!

Sorry, mine has been in business 35 years and the employees are knowledgeable people. It’s about 4000 square feet with an upstairs. That’s who donated the U-boat for the raffle.

Their website is crap. The owner tried to do one once and got a virus for his troubles. Best thing to do is find what you want, call and get a price.

Ok, will do

Note the "weathering" on the sail and deck.

And people wonder why brick and mortar hobby stores are going out of business left, right and center. Today's buyers won't get out of bed to buy things. They want to browse, search and buy from the comfort of home and have it delivered an hour later. Amazon has created that expectation. Mom and pop stores can accept that and get with the times or they can die a slow and painful death.

Harsh, but true.

A very useful document. I'll keep it on file. In temperate waters (we operated out of Guam) the WEBSTER would come back from patrol with barnacles clinging to everything. Not in big clumps, but randomly.
