What is it?

Before you is a vintage record player (otherwise known as a gramophone!) that I have built out of LEGO .

It features:

It also has some vintage ornaments on each side of the box, which I believe turned out amazing. There is a 1 x 4 printed panel, this print which I have designed is not my interpretation of what I think the finished print should look like, but a concept design.

Why did you build it? I have always loved LEGO . I got my first set when I was maybe 3 years old, and been obsessed since. In this last year or two, I haven't been into LEGO as much as I was before. Very recently however, in this last month, I have been obsessed. I then remembered about Ideas, where anyone can upload their own LEGO set and have the chance for it to become a real set. I knew how hard this would be, but decided to take the challenge. And thus, after ~25 hours of collective work, I present to you the LEGO Gramophone.

Why do you believe this would make a great LEGO set?

I believe this would make for an amazing display piece, especially for people who have a real gramophone. It could also make for a great conversation starter for if you have visitors over. This may serve as a great gift for any grandparents or elderly folks who are into LEGO ! The build experience would be phenomenal because of all of the intricate building techniques used to get the right shapes and angles, especially seen in the horn.
