Yep. Inquiring minds need to know. Remember the first rule of the Internet...if there are no pictures it didn't happen..

I am speaking in the name of thousands and thousands of modelers who want to build this boat. There is no plastic version, only some wooden kits but very expensive. Your card version of the African Queen looks fantastic. Rest assure than when it is ready, I will build it and invite several friends of mine who love the movie and celebrate the beautiful card model watching once again this marvelous work of art. We will probably drink as much gin as Charlie Allnut did admiring the beautiful card model.
Good luck!!

I am sorry it is taking me sooo long to finish. I built and rebuilt so many times to get the parts right the first time that I needed a break from it. Then life kept getting in the way, plus side tracked on other designs. I have numbered 20 parts plus instructions, but as you can see there are alot more to do.

Perfectly understood. Normal daily duties and obligations must come first. I also understand that designing and preparing a high quality card model takes plenty of time and work. Is there any way I can help you? I do have time and if I can, I will be glad to help you in any way.

I am just a builder; will help in any way possible.

Not sure if you read that my wife and I moved. We just got the phone and internet. last night was the first time I was able to work on papercraft. Did the light bar, lights, and siren for the SFPD cruiser because it was easy to build, plus it finishes the Streets of San Fransico cars. Once they are in the downloads I swear the Queen is next. The LTD and wagon can wait.
