Re: Recreating The Guest House
Are there similar drawings of the rest of the estate, be they real or set? If so, I could really see printing this out on a plotter, and doing this!

Re: Recreating The Guest House
I don't know which page it's on in the Pahonu thread, but I created a link to my Sketchup 3D model of Pahonu as well as 2D plans. They are of the actual home and not the sets. I have plotted prints of the floor plans. They don't show furniture or rugs, etc... like the guest house plans. I'd guess you should start looking either side of page 150 for the link. I know it's near the top of the page.eagle wrote:Are there similar drawings of the rest of the estate, be they real or set? If so, I could really see printing this out on a plotter, and doing this!

I'm not sure, but we need to get these chaps motivated. I'm also a member of the Club Obi Wan forum, and it's fascinating how many Indiana Jones costume and prop details those guys have tracked down.Canada Jones wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 8:42 am Has anyone ever found the shelf with the hidden fridge in the kitchen?

Re: Recreating The Guest House
Isn't it just a standard deep bookcase with a fridge sitting on a shelf? I'm having trouble picturing it...Canada Jones wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 8:42 am Has anyone ever found the shelf with the hidden fridge in the kitchen?

Re: Recreating The Guest House
It has a pair of exterior doors that are not glass, so I expect it’s not a barrister bookcase or bookcase of any kind. Even very deep bookcases are often less than 18 inches deep, usually more like 12 inches. That’s not much depth for even a small fridge. That wall appears to be a buffet-type cabinet in the middle, with the taller cabinets on either side. It seems like custom work to me. It doesn’t appear to be standard US cabinet sizes like the area with the sink and range on the end.Styles Bitchley wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 2:20 pmIsn't it just a standard deep bookcase with a fridge sitting on a shelf?

Re: Recreating The Guest House
Yeah, not exactly something you'd be likely to find anywhere off the shelf. Looks like something custom or something you'd find in a hotel room. (This is Season 1 vs Season 5, btw)

Re: Recreating The Guest House
It does look a bit like something you might see in a hotel room. My guess is that the set construction crew modified several pieces of furniture, fitting them together to create the kitchen wall. That’s as opposed to building it all from scratch.Styles Bitchley wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 2:37 pm Yeah, not exactly something you'd be likely to find anywhere off the shelf.

This is off the current topic a bit, but since you posted the photos...
The first photo shows one of the problems with the guesthouse set actually being able to be in the real boathouse. In the first photo the floor above the closet door can be seen to be just inches above it. That floor level leads out to the lanai. That’s a standard 80 inch high door, yet just ten feet away is the door to the bedroom, which is supposed to be under the lanai. Somehow the bedroom has a typical ceiling but the closet ceiling would be just inches above a very tall Selleck’s head.
To ruin the illusion even more there’s likely just a platform outside the front door of the guesthouse set, and it probably looks down into bedroom set.
Re: Recreating The Guest House
You won't ever ruin it for me, Pahonu. The boat house is the guest house as far as I am concerned. How's that for suspension of disbelief?

Re: Recreating The Guest House
I'm trying to remember if there's a step up to the door from that upper platform. That would help a bit...but you're indeed correct about that one.

Re: Recreating The Guest House
I don’t believe there is on the set, and the boathouse definitely doesn’t have a step into the interior room. It’s just one little problem among many in terms of the set fitting into the actual structure. Overall though, the art director did a reasonable job of making it seem plausible.Styles Bitchley wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 8:39 pmI'm trying to remember if there's a step up to the door from that upper platform.
