The garden is occasionally open to public and this lovely warm May Bank Holiday was an ideal day to enjoy these delightful houses in local vernacular and gardens straight out of picture post cards. A perfect marriage between architecture and landscape can not fail to impress any one and not surprisingly won these a grade II* listing in 2006.
The shared car forecourt becomes a 'Tea and Cakes' serving area (for a day) leading to an 'English garden', full of nooks and cranies using every inch of the grounds to get maximum impact. I hope to drip feed the photos over next week or two.

This courtyard is connected with large openings to a bedroom on the right (not seen here) and dining area in front.
These are customers of ours here in Amsterdam, though this bike is not a Workcycles. It's either an older 't Mannetje or Fietsfabriek with a box and electric conversion by the owner. The family calls it the "popemobile".
Cockpit close up. You may notice that it is very large compared to the Falcon's cockpit in the films. As the props were not built at full scale, when you increase the model to full scale, the cockpit of course increases in size too.
The Paper House is literally a house made of paper; over 200 layers of newspaper (and lots varnish) make up the well-insulated walls. As top layers of the walls chip away, bits of old newspaper clippings are visible. Inside, the furniture is made out of paper. The house was built in the early 1922 and still stands firm and sound today. Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his Rockport summer home out of paper as a hobby.

Somehow my selfbuilt softbox on the left strobe ruined it... i couldn't freeze the rider anymore...

Architects; Peter Aldington, self built in late 60s. Garden views. My friend informs me that lovely sculpture is by Monica Young. I am afraid I will have to stop with this project here.
The smuggling compartment fits between the stairs and the bottom gun port (to the left). You can see how the stairs make room for this area of the ship to exist.
With the Star Wars films, they built the interior sets separately from the exterior hull. When Han runs up the ramp of the exterior hull, he emerges on to the interior corridor built elsewhere. The ramp cannot really connect to the corridor because the ramp is connected to the bottom of the hull. There needs to be space for the bottom gun port and the smuggling compartments. A set of stairs needs to be included like the one I have built here.

This is the other entrance to the circuitry room, where Princess Leia must have exited after kissing Han Solo. The corridor to the left leads to the Main Hold where the chess table is, etc.
The stairs lead to a hatch in the deck, which when closed allows access to the starboard airlock. This is not quite how the entrance works in the films but some adjustment is required to make the Millennium Falcon work in real life.
Top quad laser turret. It is mounted exactly the same way as the Millennium Falcon in the Star Wars films.
The Paper House is literally a house made of paper; over 200 layers of newspaper (and lots varnish) make up the well-insulated walls. As top layers of the walls chip away, bits of old newspaper clippings are visible. Inside, the furniture is made out of paper. The house was built in the early 1922 and still stands firm and sound today. Mr. Elis F.

This wall in ESB hid a room which was used for filming. It was made into a proper room with bunk beds for ROTJ but the interior set footage was not used. To the extreme left out of shot is the entrance to the circuitry (kissing) room.
This unseen room also contained a desk, which I'll add when I get time. This room is covered by a wall in The Empire Strikes Back, which I assume could be removed by Han if he wanted to use it. The camera was placed here as Chewbacca is seen stooped down looking for tools to fix the ship. The room was part of the design for the interior that was built for Return of the Jedi but not used in the final cut of the film.
The main ramp leads to stairs because the ramp cannot connect with the deck. It is one of the "impossible" areas of the set to recreate in real life. I'll add some more detail to this area at a later date.
This afternoon I stumbled over this rare gem of technology when cruising around in a rural area not too far from my place.
This guy built a bike around an old agricultural stationary single cylinder Diesel engine. Not street legal of course (watch the headlight) but nobody really cares around there...
