THAT IS AN AWESOME BOAT! Nice work. . . The African Queen is one of my favorite movies of all time and I have loved the boat ever since I first saw the movie and read the book. I am an avid model builder and I want to build a model of her so bad I can taste it. A recent article in "Ships In Scale" on her was great. I would love to scratch build one but a kit would be just fine! I think it was Billings Boats that offered the kit?
Its a beautiful boat. I saw a supplier from GB offering hulls in 1:10 scale. But what I would like to do is a 1:6 version. There is someone out there offering a 1/6 scale head of Humphrey Bogart - ready to paint and pop on top of a GI Joe :) - that would be (also) cool.
There's a short video of the "Modern Africa Queen" :-) on my video-site on youtube, under Speak Swahili, Dammit! This old boat has seats salvaged from a Boeing 707 which crashed into Lake Victoria. It's a venerable vessel, moored at Wag Hill near Mwaza. It reminds me so much of the old Queen!

I am not a model boat fan. I have seen the real African Queen. Your model is more impressive than the real boat, amazing!
