Little voice?

Very sad indeed. I loved The Rockford Files . Does anyone remember the short-lived detective series Tenspeed and Brownshoe ? He wrote that also and I thought it was brilliant. Jeff Goldbloom was great as the wide-eyed accountant turned gumshoe with romantic visions of the profession. His partner Ben...

Eeyore, I completely agree. This structure should be documented and it would come at no cost and little inconvenience to Ms Anderson. I studied architecture also, though never practiced, and now I teach history. I knew several classmates who completed as-built drawings as you suggest for historic bu...

The tax records are very curious in that they overlay different floors onto a single sketch. This can be very confusing, particularly for the main house that has three levels. There are mistakes in the records also. I mentioned this once before. The main house is listed as a single story, even thoug...

It's true (unfortunately) I've never been in the boathouse. However, using external pictures and the one internal picture from the "Who is Don Luis Higgins..." episode, plus the property tax record, you can get a pretty good idea of how it's arranged. I used to think the stair rail shown in a couple...

Without being able to examine it up close it is hard to say for sure. You do get to see inside the room in the Hawaii Five-O series finale "Woe to Wo Fat. The characters walk through the middle pair of glazed double pocket doors off the single-story loggia into the room below the double roof. You c...

Thanks for the compliments guys, The vegitation in the model has a looooong way to go. I just wanted to give an idea of how it will (could/might?) look. Seriously, that estate has sooooo much foliage! Even in modeling the non-overgrown era when Magnum was filmed I think what I have done is less than...

Yes, the tidal pool is no where as nice as it was. According to info from other threads in the forum sometime this past spring the tidal pool was dredged, reportedly to prevent others from using the beach (part Magnum traffic). I think the water will bring the sand back. So, do you mean, that the b...

This is in reference to all the plantings on the estate. I think James asked for information about this in another thread and got just a couple of responses. Now that I am adding the foliage to the estate model, any information about plants that you recognize would be very helpful. Someone pointed o...

I finally started adding some plantings to the model (and one other surprise). I'm very encouraged by the look even though it is still quite sparse. Even with the existing plant models, it still takes alot of time to manipulate each plant's height, width, lean, etc... or they would look unnatural li...

...., this lady anderson sounds like a skank, just sell the house if you dont like the fans . Typical that shes a lib democrat ;) With all respect, thats utterly nonsense. I'm not sure such overgeneralization and juvenile name-calling is worthy of much respect. I agree with Rob about the political ...

I've always loved this one too! Perhaps my favorite also. It has quite a few "artsy" camera techniques like the cut from the Chinese enforcer in the shop at the beginning to Higgins practicing his martial arts. These interesting shots seem more common in the earlier seasons. By the way, the flub men...

I just read the discussion on that scene from the "By Its Cover" thread. Crazy long!!! If you're looking for the proper name for the indoor/outdoor annex space you discussed in such depth, I would suggest zaguan . The literal translation is "vestibule" or "entry hall" but it is not as simple as that...
