      “Hey everybody, today I’ve got a real treat. This was a gift from the French to the United States of America. Only two were ever made, and I’m really excited to do this unboxing. So let’s go ahead and thank my first sponsor; WarThunder Online…”

          The artist built two, the second is significantly smaller and on display in France.

          He also built a small, bronze reference model to use while building America’s statue. But I just looked it up, and that reference model is also on public display in France as well. So, technically there are three original ‘Statues of Liberty.’
