NOTES TO BUYERS
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.
