One of my favorite Bogart movies. It's been instructive and fun following this build thread. Thank you. What's next ? The German gun boat ???

How nice when people upload free models for us to enjoy. This is really appreciated. Being very much excited about this project, do you know when more or less you will upload it? That day, I'll watch the movie again as a celebration!! Thanks my friend.

Thanks every one for liking my design of "The African Queen". There is no way to know when I can release the files. I am still working on the design part, then a rebuild to check all the parts that I changed/modified. Hopefully it will look as good if not better than the proto-type. During the rebuild is when I number parts and create an instruction PDF. As long as family or life doesn't slow me down I will work on it, and I need to order more ink.

No hurry, my friend. Take your time. By the way, can the model be modified to operate in the water with perhaps a small hidden electric motor? The hull can always be waterproofed but I was thinking of the possibility of adequately installing electric motor, batteries and perhaps a tiny radio control system etc. Just curious. I have seen several models of the African Queen on YouTube and it would be very nice to operate one with the figures of Humphrey and Katharine. Dreams!!! more dreams!!!

I sure you could install a small battery powered engine and maybe rc stuff, but I wouldn't know how you could water proof it.
