NOTES TO BUYERS

• This listing is the ORIGINAL detailed pedestal design being sold since 2012. Don't be fooled by imitations!
• This listing is ONLY for the plans/instructions. There are no pieces included with the sale of this item.
• Instructions are in PDF format. Paper instructions are not provided.
• Full part list included in PDF file as well as a secondary XML file in Bricklink wanted list format.
• I have a different listing for a full build-it-yourself set that includes the instructions and pieces. The Statue of Liberty #3450 model is NOT included with this listing.

When the Statue of Liberty #3450 set in 2000, it was missing one key element, the iconic pedestal on which Lady Liberty stands. In real life, the statue stands at 151 feet tall and the pedestal adds another 89 feet. Therefore, more than 1/3 of what most people think of as the Statue of Liberty was missing from the original Statue of Liberty model. I could not allow such a magnificent Lady to not be placed upon her pedestal. Therefore, in the spring of 2012 I began to design and build a quality pedestal model to properly complete Statue of Liberty #3450 set.

Nearly every detail of the pedestal that could be captured using official pieces has been accurately reproduced in this exquisite design. The entire model is designed to be properly scaled to be compatible with the Statue of Liberty #3450 model. The combined models create a truly impressive final presentation that is certain to add that special “WOW” factor wherever it is displayed! The balconies, brick patterns, shield details, slopes, columns, and many more features have all been faithfully recreated. Typically many models are designed “studded” in appearance. However, this particular model was designed to eliminate the appearance of piece studs. This “stud-less” look adds an incredible level of realism to the final model. Viewers will be truly astounded when they realize that all of the detail was actually captured entirely from LEGO® pieces. This is a museum quality piece that is sure to amaze and delight!

The pedestal model is constructed of 6193 pieces, plus 19 pieces for an optional display/description plate. Combined, the entire pedestal set is 6,212 pieces! The model is approximately 15” (384 mm) wide, 15” (384 mm) deep, and 19 ¾” (501 mm) tall. The weight is approximately 17.21 lbs (7.8 kg). When combined with the Statue of Liberty #3450 model, which itself is 33” (838 mm) tall, the overall presentation proudly stands at nearly 53” (4 feet 5 inches or 1.34 meters) and weighs approximately 27 lbs (12.24 kg)!

Depending on the time of day and lighting, the stones of the real Statue of Liberty Pedestal can appear a variety of colors. The design is flexible enough to allow it to be built using a variety of colors, but the instructions show the model built in the tan color. The instruction package also comes with alternative set of plans that show the model built in light bluish gray color (LBG), which is also known as medium stone grey.

Don’t hesitate to proudly display this amazing national monument and reconstruction of a piece of American history, accurately scaled and magnificently detailed.
