[MOC] Building All Pink Floyd Studio Album Covers

[Retro]

Hello All,

I have been posting these one by one in a separate thread as I built them, with different variations. There are many different forms of the original covers in existance due to differences between CD release, vinyl release, printing processes over the years and so on. I have finished all fifteen now thought it would be nice to pick a single example of each, and try to match it to the nearest copy of the original sleeve art that I could find.

Fantastic! Great job! You have covered every studio album! My god, if you had to do build every bootleg from PF you would be done in about 10 years or so!!!! Thank you again for this major project!

This made me laugh! You're right. Also, even among the official covers for live albums and oddities there are lots that would be almost impossible to do (for example the original 'Relics'). 

I did learn a lot of interesting things from the process. 

From a Lego point of view I found that I needed a huge amount of bricks for some of these. Sometimes I would be crouching down at some odd angle in the garden trying to get the correct perspective, then I would realise my 'sky' wasn't big enough to fill the scene. And anyway it would start to rain! (Also, when I began, all my photos were rectangular, but along the way I decided everything should be square. That was another kettle of fish.)

Musically, since I had more or less discovered the band in the 90s, I was always in the 'Later Years' camp. But while doing my building I went and and listened to the entire catalogue of 15. And I found that the early stuff is really good. I would happily listen to the first five albums for pleasure now. 

On a historic note, it's really very sad to watch documentaries knowing that Rick Wright and Storm Thorgerson died so young by modern standards.
