LEGO 21042 Statue of Liberty Facelift Tutorial

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2018
- I wan't really satisfied with the blank face that came in the latest LEGO Statue of Liberty set (21042) so I decided to customize my own.
You actually don't need any additional pieces to do this modification. All the pieces needed are already in the set and in this video I walk you through the changes you need to make to the finished model in order to do it yourself.

Thanks for watching!

I’ve been searching the internet for a fix to that terrible face and you not only delivered but knocked it out of the park. I was going to do a fix using other pieces in my collection, but I love how you pulled the pieces from the model so no extra pieces are necessary. Well done!
brickitect I agree on how he decided of only using piece’s from the model
Oh hey there Greg!
Agreed
Hi brickitect!!!
You built it!
1:09 I like that face
It actually doesn't look that bad. Lol.
Jason, that´s really great, that you not only suggest a modification, but you also go the extra mile of making it possible with the parts included in the set. No job offers by LEGO yet? Shame on them...
Jason is too good to work at Lego. I mean, he IMPROVES the original Legos... Dude is amazing
Good lego doesn’t need these horrible mods
King of Stopmotion You okay?
My opinion? Leave the 1x1 tile off the face so it looks like the statue is going "OOOOOOOOH"
Ra Lu 1:08...although God and man have toiled and tried, it is incident who has finally faced triumph, is it not?..] : [lol! My eyes ooze
"Oooohs" at the side of it.
O_O

@@supaplayer Spongbob, Right? (LoL) : )
JKLM Gaming Yeah lol
Brilliant adjustment! And the fact that you show how to build the modification from extra pieces and rebuilt bits of the model is simply incredible! Well done as always. 👏
I actually like the shield piece, I think it's an interesting use of the part and I don't mind the minimalist approach they took, and it's good to have the shiled piece in that color (is it sand green?)
That being said, I really like your mod as well, although I agree the chin looks quite masculine afterwards. The point of the shield gives the face a daintier look and I think that's why they've decided to go that route ultimately.
I really like the rest of the modifications you've made to the statue, and the face definitely doesn't look bad, but it looks like a face of a Greek god more than it looks like the face of the statue of liberty.
Edit: actually, I take that back. Just went and looked at some photos and she does have a square chin, and very prominent nose and brow, so your mod is definitely an improvement in terms of realism, I seem to have idealised her face in my mind's eye.
Goes to show human memory is not as reliable as many people think. XD
I read all of that thinking that you were right, then read the last part and started laughing. I love Great opinions like these!
@Petr Stuchlý with mine i did a 2x2 with the weird 2x1 flat pieces with the corner off at the bottom, with a 1x2 sloped piece for the eyebrows
In my opinion it makes her face look too much like one of those easter island statues

Yesss
🗿🗿🗿
That was my first thought. Still looks better than default face IMO.
The best part about this modification video is that you show us how to repurpose the existing set parts. Not just telling us to go get them somewhere. Thanks for that!
Oh ! sand green pieces are lovely !
I really appreciate your face lift solution Jason ^^
Wow, perfect! That face has bugged me enough that I was not all that interested in getting this. Now I will be getting it for sure!
No entiendo Inglés, pero lo que entiendo es que el modelo original no tiene cara, y el señor del vídeo hizo una "recomposición" de algunas piezas y construyó la cara. ¡es una pasada! Este señor es muy inteligente.
This is amazing! Thanks for going through the steps to fix the face, and I love that all the pieces used are just slight changes within the model itself!
This is so creative! A super idea to use parts from the actual model by moving them around!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for these instructions! I heard about this back when you first posted it, and decided to try it myself after I finally built the set. Was very surprised that you did this just using the pieces already on the module as well as the spare parts in the set. Great work!
You should really do more of these... this one was fascinating to me!
Oh, this was EXCELLENT! And so easy to follow along! Thank you very much for sharing. I had so much fun making this set for my mom, and she loves your new face much more than the shield face. Thx!
Absolutely brilliant. I'm so glad someone figured out a workaround for that, and an elegant one at that. No Bricklink orders. The blank face just wasn't cutting it for me. I still haven't purchased this set yet, but when I do, I using this mod. :]
Nice! I was kind of on the fence about getting this set because of how oddly undefined the face was on such an otherwise detailed representation. Might just get it now and build with these mods! Thanks for such a detailed fix!
That’s so much better with the new face
No it looks bad
In my opinion old face was better.
Question of taste. It looks like easter island statue. I would not call it a better but a nice alternative.
It’s way too masculine lol but maybe thats what u like about it..
Thanks for this tip Jason! My wife received this for her birthday. My daughters really enjoy your book and ball maze sets.
Great upgrade! Your channel is one of the most interesting one,I love your original designs!
Thanks for the great detailed fix Jason. Easy to follow and only minor concessions. Like you said gotta be some.
Was just discussing this last night with a friend, as i got this set as a xmas gift. I can't believe Lego decided to go with a plain tile as the face.. so, thank you so much for this tutorial! Time to build It now!
This is so creative! Very nice to rebuild by moving around parts! Keep it up!!
Amazing in every detail!
Nice work - I felt that the original shield face piece let down what was otherwise superbly detailed model - very cool how you've managed to limited the update to the pieces available in the model
Looks awesome, clever how you used the parts of the figure and it still looks complete, genius 😁👍😁
This is amazing, it looks better in my opinion and not only that but the fact that you expertly pulled hte parts out of other parts of the model is so awesome. XD
Very nicely done!
This is absolutely fantastic I just stumbled upon this video I am about to purchase this set and I am definitely going to do this thank you so much and you have just earned a new subscriber!
Wayy better! Excellent work. I was on the fence because of the boring face. Now I can get this set!
Thankyou so much for this fix. My statue looks so much better now!
hey JK Brickworks. Thank you so much for this, that face put me of buying this as I don't MOC at all but I am going to get it now. I cant believe Lego didn't come up with that instead of that stupid shield part. Big thumbs up.
Great mod - looks much better and to be able to do it with the spares (given the price of green sand pieces) is a real bonus. Thanks.
Many thanks for your help to improve the aspect of that wonderfull set. I have done the modification on my model, it's a great addition. I love your channel, always impressed by your models.
Best regards from France.

Just done this with my model.....HUGE difference! Many thanks!!!
Whoa! What a great addition. Looks way better.
Genius solution. Looks great thank you for sharing.
i like it the way you did it mate it make it feel more real
The new face is way better! Love it!
Spot on, huge improvement.
Ok this is SO COOL! I added it to my statue of liberta and it looks so much better now! Thanks for the tutorial!
Much better than the blank mask! Thanks for sharing!
Held der Steine Inh. Thomas Panke brought me here :)
Great option, JK. I would consider these to be solid improvements. Having seen the real statue up close and in person, I can say that the actual face is quite noticeably masculine. It's not a negative thing. Regarding this, one of the tour guides told me "We get that a lot". To each his own- that's the beauty of life as well as Lego
Your Videos are great! Keep it:-)
I like your videos 😊👍🏼
Much better! Thank you for this!
That's pretty cool you were able to add the face just by moving some of the parts around without sacrificing the rest of the design.
Sieht richtig gut aus. Vielen Dank für dieses Video.
Thank you! I got the set as a gift, and that face is the first thing I noticed. It’s just so off. This makes it so much better.
Omg... very nice!
Nice! I did your tutorial it it looks really good. Great job!
I didn't like the look of the face - but I wanted this set. Your video convinced me to go ahead and buy it - I just put it together and modified it according to your excellent instructions. Thanks!
You Sir, are a GENIOUS!!! :D Thank you for this eloquent solution!
This is brillant, as usual :)
Thank you so much. It was so so easy, and it is so much better now! 🤩
You’re a legend that’s so much betttter!!!!!
This is pretty cool man
Perfect! Now I consider buying the set for I was not before that brilliant fix.
awesome job!
Much better, thank you for this improvement, thank you, thank you, thank you !!!
Really nice!
thank you for this, just did it and looks a lot better, don't know what lego was thinking by putting a face like that
Simply AWESOME!!! ThumbsUP!!!
once again you've proved your genius.... the fact you thought this out and executed it without adding any parts is mind-boggling. You fixed the 2 things wrong with the set....the face and the neck.
This is a good fix, but, I wasn't happy with the squared face. An option I chose was to take the two 1 X 2 sloped pieces that are left over for this fix and create a chin. Just remove the lower 1 X 2 piece and replace with the other two. It's not perfect, but , offers a different look.
Good work!
Small interception, but big result, you did it very well, Thanks😉
Now we just have to think of how to get 4 Ghostbusters and an NES advantage controller in there...
Good reference!
Ghostbusters 2 reference :)
That would be really cool.... LEGO - GO FIX !!!
d J. Yeah
And now, on the request line from Liberty Island,...we're gonna suck some New Years juice from ya Big Apple!
Thanks for this great mod which I definitely prefer over the original, creepy blank shield solution!
so clever ! well done !!
That is seriously beautiful how well you managed to get that to work.
that's brilliant!
I like your face and modifications much better. The statue has such an iconic face, why not try to represent it? Very well done!
How clever are YOU!!!!!
Its a pity the folk at lego could not come up with the same result, after all, their only asking folk to shell out £80 for the set.
I like the set but over the last couple of years, I have come to the conclusion lego just take the proverbial asking silly money for half hearted sets.
Your hack as simple as it is completely changes the set for the better and gives liberty her much needed identity.
Pity the folk at lego could not show her or its fans the same respect you have!
Weldone you!
Looks like the moai on easter island
welldoboy you know what? I can totally see it! You're right!
🗿
Brilliant! Thanks!
I'm immediately doing this. Haven't even opened mine yet lol
What? Where did you get the pieces he used?
Super cool brother Nice😎
You've earned a subscriber
This is much better- I had a problem with the shield face as well.
Amazing and super cost efficient improvement
you are really genious!!!
I like both!
Wow that looks a lot like better than the original face!
Excellent !!
Great Job ;-)
Thank you for the modification. The flat plate on the face looked very plain. This model sits in my classroom and one of my students sent me this link because he is familiar with your work.
This is a great tip. Thank you very much you just saved my masterpiece.
Love it!
nice mod! I thought the face looked silly, good job :)
wow! that is really clever!
Awesome. Thank you
Yes, but how do you make a tiny Wolvorine to fight atop the crown?
Thank you for this video. It's helped me a lot to modify the face. The statue looks better like this. I don't understand why Lego didn't do it like this...
That was a great workaround! That blank face plate is the only reason I haven't bought this set. Someone could make a small fortune selling printed faces on the shield piece if they have the means. I've thought about just painting a face on it.
Nice simple fix
wow so good
Wow! Cool
Nice work.. looks better.
great! Thanks for this mod
