Musicland Record Store Diorama

[mhuskers88]

Hello. I made a record store diorama consisting of 500 mini albums, a cashier desk, a poster rack, a t-shirt stand, and poster store signage. I made all the record rack stands myself, cut the wood pieces and carved them by and painted them by hand, as well as everything else in the pictures. The double albums have a thicker cardboard insert to magnify the size difference. Musicland was a favorite store for my big brother and me. Thanks for looking.

Size- 28.5" W x 23" L x 12" H

Very nice, nostalgia. You should add some scale figures rummaging through the albums and a clerk.

LOLOL! I love it! Reminds me of shopping at Camelot's Music at my local mall during the 80s.

That's pretty cool, nice work. Sure brings back some memories........how much for a Black Sabbath "Master of Reality "?

Wow - that must have taken a minute or two

Thsnk you. It's the memories that are truly priceless. That's a really cool album.

Thsnk you. It took about 200 hours to make. The record stands took a lot of time. Every row is hand cut, glued, to fit properly and to accommodate the spacing required for each album that I made. It's my first build.

Fantastic work i think it just goes to show no matter what part of the world were from we've all walked into that exact same store/shop(again depending on what part of the world your from). Dave

 

[mhuskers88]

Thank you. Yes, you are correct and I think that whatever we build (stores, planes, ships, cars, cycles, etc) there's a part that resonates with our childhood that links us all together.
