Description

A landmark with over a century of history

The real Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886 as a gift from France to the United States, standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbour. Sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed the figure, with Gustave Eiffel providing the internal support structure, and it remains one of the world's most recognisable symbols of freedom and democracy. Set 21042 translates that figure into the Architecture line's reduced, stylised language, where overall silhouette and proportion matter more than fine surface detail, giving builders an unusual angle on a very familiar structure.

1,685 pieces, a tall and slender build

With 1,685 pieces built from just 147 unique parts, the piece variety is low relative to the total count, which is typical for the Architecture line: the same elements repeat many times to shape the statue's tall, slender silhouette. No minifigures are included, since this line sticks strictly to pure architectural models rather than play scenes. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which elements repeat most, giving a good sense of the calm, repetitive build process before you start.

Sea-green and terracotta instead of grey

Colour-wise, sand green and a warm terracotta red dominate the robe and torch, echoing the real statue's oxidised copper patina, while dark bluish grey and a tan tone handle the base and finer details. That palette sets the model apart from the mostly grey technical sets found in other themes, giving it a calm, near-monochrome presence on a shelf. Builders curious about working with sand green elements will find this set an unusually rich source for future projects.

Who this model suits

The Statue of Liberty 21042 appeals to architecture fans, New York enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys a calm, meditative build without play features. Children after active play will find little here, since there are neither figures nor moving parts. As a gift or a piece of desk or shelf décor, though, this compact yet tall model works very well, in keeping with the Architecture line's deliberately timeless, understated look, and it makes a solid, approachable entry point into the series.
