paupadros Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Go crate-digging in the most famous record store in town! Hello everyone! This is not actually my MOC but my brother's. I'm so glad I finally managed to turn him (at least temporarily) to the dark side !! Anyway, I helped him around so it also counts. He was super hyped when he saw the "Music to our ears!" contest in Lego Ideas especially by the chance of a proposal becoming a set without the required 10.000 votes. He managed to create two entries in the given timeframe for it: a Jazz Club and this record store. The first entry was more of a warm-up to this second entry which is more refined and better. The main idea was to build a record store in a similar scale to this beautiful build by César Soares, somewhere in the miniland scale. He initially wanted to build it in minifigure scale, but I insisted in this larger, more unique scale to be able to add more details and to have an overall more impressive model. One of my inputs was building the main façade at an angle (for those who know me... who would've thought, right? ). We used the same technique used in the Ideas Friends Central Perk to angle the wedge plates. It works fabulously. Using such a back wall also enabled him to have a full exterior. I think this was such a good idea. The entry is reminiscent of the London Underground entrances by Leslie Green with the nice dark red tiling and blue signage. One of the aspects of the build I personally had most fun was doing the decorations for the posters on the walls. I came up with some of the ideas and puns. Billund Road, City of Brickminster... Erling Records itself... They're super fun. We also put a version of a 1980s Lego advert on the wall outside. Help us turn this idea into an official Lego set!

paupadros Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Sadly, this project did not make it past the first stage of the contest, so my brother and I have decided to post it as a stand-alone project. Please help us make this a real Lego set! SUPPORT “ERLING RECORDS” HERE Edited April 28, 2020 by paupadros Quote
LegoModularFan Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Great build Pau! Nice to see you try your hands at other themes! It would be great to see some tiling, especially since you did some great ones before! Supported Quote
