total height unclear from sources

The sources at the moment seem to give 33m for the statue itself, and Przekroj gives 2m for the crown. But the crown overlaps with the statue, so we can only guess a total height of e.g. 34m. Also, List_of_statues_by_height typically comments on the total height including the pedestal. Boud (talk) 10:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable as to whether the crown is part of the statue at all: it is made separately of a different material, and it more an additional element of the total structure than part of the structure. If the people who maintain the Cochabamba construction were to weld a tall shepherd's crook onto one of the hands, could that make it taller again?

I sourced some numbers, some of them are contradictory. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Photo Needed

Full size photo is needed of finished statue. More information on its history and construction are also needed. 76.28.77.142 (talk) 23:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Maybe next time I'll get there while the sun is still shining. ProhibitOnions (T) 13:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
