MOC: my band

[Decale]

Hi!

I know there are some musicians here, so I'd like to share some pics of the beginning of a project for my band.

It's a kind of artwork, and I really wanted to use Lego for a lot of reasons: lego is cool, colored bricks go well with our style, it's a challenge to represent my friends with minifigs and lego is COOL.

Because it's the holidays, I don't have access to all my parts so I focused on the drum kit.

I tried to make its shape accurate to my friend's kit, but choose to use some funky-looking printed tiles (it's a two parts choice: it gives a more toy-ish look, as it is supposed to be viewed by non-AFOLs, and I don't have the right colors anyway ).

The goal is creating a whole stage with amplifiers and spotlights etc

Have you tried to do something similar?

You can see the pictures on my Brickshelf.

(Note that I'm the bass player of the band and did not represent myself already.)

Sorry I just added 3 more pics to the "weezymingo" folder and that made it unavailable again for a while...

Nice one Decale! I actually like your band a lot, I think you made the best out of your available parts and you got the basic elements of a rock band pretty well. The drum set, lead and bass guitars, the microphone w/ stand, those loud speakers - they all look good to me. I also wanted to try doing a rock band of my own before, it just so happened I was busy with my other MOCs. It's a good thing you made one, that's definitely a good start and with the proper parts you'll still be able to improve it. How I wish TLG will release a Rock band theme.

Thank you KielDaMan,

You're right, a Rock Band theme would be awesome, they could make a Iggy Pop torso! And also some cool guitars, Les Paul, Flying V, Telecaster, Jaguar...

Ok this will never happen .

I'll try to improve this preliminary work, it will never look realistic but that doesn't matter. Plus I like brick built guitars.

If only I had the time (and patience) to do a stop-motion videoclip...

I hope I'll see a RockMOC from you sometime
