Description
African Queen Umbrella, Bible and Basket Set
1:12 Scale
White Processed Versatile Plastic
Ready to Paint. Slightly grainy surface up close.
Looks good at normal model viewing distance. Comes in all white for painting.
I designed this item to match Miss Rose personal items on the African Queen. It is all on piece. It will fit on the seat next to Miss Rose on the Billings African Queen Model boat.
Example of painted model. White Processed Versatile Plastic takes Acrylic paint well. I do not prime before hand because the surface is slightly porous and grainy. I use Vallejo brand paints that have good coverage, opaque and cover easily over other colors.
Colors used. Paints are Vallejo Acrylic colors. Basket: Buff 70.976. Bible: Gold 70.996, Red 70.957+ Brown 70.984 (cover) 70.984 Ivory 70.918 (pages). Umbrella: Black 70.950, Ochre Brown 70.856 (handle).
