Statue of Liberty (21042) - Another layer up

The set seems so simple and straight forward after the rigors of the DB5. It's almost as if the brain can go on autopilot instead of having to focus intensely on the task at hand!

The detailing on the set continues to be a pleasant surprise. We added the next layer to the base, this one with more detailing than the foundation. Where the brick detailing of the base came mostly from the patterns that were carved into the pieces, the detailing on this level comes instead from the use of many small, differently shaped pieces that were combined to give the overall effect.

Along the corners, you can see the use of alternating rectangular and circular pieces to provide the recessed column look while running along the base of this second level are alternating triangular and sloped pieces.



Again, the middle continues to be hollow. It's a good thing the hole extends all the way to the bottom as pieces simply tumble down onto the table when they get fat-fingered and dropped.
