This is my latest scratch-built model of the African Queen boat 1/20 scale. I designed it with 3D software to match the movie. It is was printed on my 3D resin home printer.

Here is my build log as a photo and short YouTube video that covers all the details.


Happy Modeling!

Your model makes me want to watch the movie again. Between Casablanca and The African Queen the Admiral and I have probably watched those two movies 60 to 80 times, no exaggeration.

Well Done BernhardBB!
Thank you for purchasing my African Queen Collection to detail your boat. And all the other custom detailing you did is just amazing! I love the small details you added such as Boggie's cigarette! The fire in the boiler and sound effects! I saw Your YouTube video of the workshop closeup of the model and loved it.

I have a new addition to my African Queen Collection you may appreciate. : African Queen Extra Parts & Decals.
