Re: Photos of Bolger Models
I've taken you up on that idea, and posted a couple pics in Bolger3
of a His & Hers Schooner model I built a few years back. I gave the
model to my brother for Christmas that year, and went and built
myself two Cartoppers instead...

Thanks Peter that was the whole reason for building the model. If you can build it 1/8th scale you can certainly do it full size. Full scale is more forgiving. My wife is more forgiving of 1/8 scale than full size. Maybe as soon as I get all the honey doos caught up I can start on the real thing.

A very nicely done model indeed and I'll bet it sure gets your
juices flowing to build a full size version of her.It is a roomy boat
for a couple of sailors to enjoy:-)
Thanks for posting those nice photos!

hope others will add photos of their models. --FrankB

After taking a peek at Roger Derby's home page and clicking on
the link to his Chebacco model,I was left with a feeling that perhaps
there are many more of us nuts out there who also build models of our
boats before we build them.
Roger's photo diary of the building of his Chebacco model is
truly impressive and I fear that when he gets going on the full sized
version,he may well raise the bar,for other Chebacco builders, on
construction standards and quality of finishes:-)
So, to bring 2003 to a happy end while beginning another year
soon, I have created a photo album, over in Bolger3, dedicated to
photos of Bolger Boat Models.
Please feel free to add a few photos of your own Bolger model
and lets see if we can't get a whole fleet of models done before the
end of 2004 :-)
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,who has posted a few photos of his own model sitting
atop the upside down full sized version of Windermere.....and if you
look real close,you may just be able to make out one little lazy
bastard at the helm station.For lack of a proper name,I call him
Petite Pierre ................
hope others will add photos of their models. --FrankB

Those are kind words indeed, sir. Thank you.
Not too worry about my raising any bars. I already stumble when coming out
of them.
The model is certainly a good planning tool. With cruising conversion of
Chebacco, the structure for the deck house is quite vague. I guess this is
because PCB designed it with the idea of converting existing boats and what
you add depends on what you have. Starting from scratch as I am, it seems
more reasonable to plan a support structure that will allow for the
occasional teenager who climbs on the topmost deck and jumps about. My
present state is that of having to rip out some of what I've done to
accomodate what is now obviously needed.
Again, credit creative photography (and Photoshop) rather than woodworking
skills, but thanks.
Happy New Year!
Roger
