SillyRabbit Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Today I went along to my local miniaturist’s monthly club day! Such fun, I’m hooked! The organisers had a room box kit available for purchase to work through with help close by, additional features will be taught at future club days - next month is a sash window tutorial. I just had to share my progress (ok and excitement!) with you all My plan is to create a record store complete with bins of LPs, a listening post/record player/headphones, posters etc A big thank you and shout out to the lovely folk of Garden City Miniaturists in Christchurch, NZ Apologies for the upside down photos, I’ll figure that out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Maree, my Chrome Book's pictures program has a rotation feature so I can turn pictures right side up. Do share photos of your progress in an album in the Gallery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FurMama Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Can't wait to see your lp's! Are you going to do the vinyl as well as the covers? I had made a bunch eons ago for my old cardboard condo (which is long gone) but only did the covers from ad pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeB Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I LOVE the idea of LP covers! You can make a collection that would be worth a fortune and the envy of any real life collector. Tour posters on the walls? Autographed artist photos? I can hardly wait to see more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shareb Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Fantastic Maree!! Great progress! We have a great club over the Shore in Auckland but it's just too far away. I used to go but it was a chore getting there. I should really look at the closer ones but to be honest happy working on my own atm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking of adding a facade to the front of the roof so I can add a large sign as well a hanging sign that protrudes from the front of the shop or above the door. I’m very keen to try my hand at making LPs, a record player, headphones, wall racks, record bins, posters of bands/artists/tours (perhaps some of these would dress the front window and be a little sun faded). The counter will be a simple bar type structure that has bits and bobs scattered on it such as freebie stickers, postcards, guitar picks etc. My partner Joe and I visited Ameoba Records in San Francisco last year where there is an amazing colourful vinyl record ‘mobile’ for want of a better word, hanging from the ceiling. Maybe my little store will sport one of these too hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
