Statue of Liberty (21042) - Unveiling

As you may have guessed from the title, our next build is the Statue of Liberty! Thanks so much to Dave for this set. As we were working on the James Bond DB5 for him, he went on vacation to New York and was kind enough to pick this set up as a momento for us.

It's the first Architecture set that we have ever built and definitely an iconic one. At 1685 pieces, it's one of the smaller sets we have done.

Thus far, the build has gone very smoothly. After all the moving parts of the James Bond car, that isn't a surprise! I think this is a good breather for the intense concentration that was needed for that set!

We managed to get a lot of the foundation done over the weekend. The detailing is true to form and looks true to form.

The interior of the base is hollow, which will cut down on the finished weight of the set. I also appreciate the use of some colors with the internal pieces. The colors definitely help you to locate where additional pieces need to go and overall makes the build easier.
