LEGO 40450 Amelia Earhart Tribute
Description LEGO 40450 Tribute to Amelia Earhart In honor of International Women's Day, we spoke with Mel Caddick, the LEGO designer behind our cool new set tribute to Amelia Earhart. How would you describe Amelia Earhart? What does she mean to you? Amelia Earhart was a great icon, a pioneer, and an author. She was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, so naturally she was very adventurous and determined, and I think her story is an inspiration to anyone who wants to pursue their dreams. Amelia Earhart showed us that passions, ambitions, and courage are not dependent on gender. This tradition has not been taken up by many others, which is why I think she is the perfect person to honor in the context of International Women's Day 2021. What inspired you to create this model? We were inspired by Amelia Earhart's groundbreaking achievement of being the first woman to make a solo transatlantic flight. The red Lockheed 5B Vega was the aircraft with which she flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. This was, of course, the perfect model to showcase her achievement. What do you want people to take away from this model? I hope that Amelia Earhart's model inspires and gives courage, not only to women but to everyone everywhere in the world, to be curious and to stand behind your passions and ambitions, especially when faced with rigid traditions, structures, or anything similar that try to hold you back. Passions and ambitions are fragile, and they need nurturing, space, and drive to flourish. This is exactly what Amelia Earhart taught us. How did you approach the development of the model? We started with a few blueprints of the red Lockheed 5B Vega aircraft and then looked for elements to make it more lifelike. It was very important to keep the model as close to the original as possible, to retain the yellow lines, the decorations, and the shape of the airplane. We really felt that Amelia Earhart couldn't be missing as a minifigure, so we created an exclusive new design especially for her and added it to this model. What do you like most about your work at the LEGO Group? Working here is a childhood dream come true. I have been working here since 2008, and as a designer, I have been making products with LEGO bricks for 10 years. What I love about the bricks is that the possibilities are endless; the only limit is your imagination. I love working on different products, especially with a strong and inspiring story like that of Amelia Earhart. It is a privilege to be able to create products that inspire children and adults of all ages and all over the world. What other projects have you worked on? One of the newest products is the tribute to Charles Dickens and the gift with purchase, the Classic Car. What I really like about these projects is that, just like with the Amelia Earhart project, you get to know people who are extraordinarily talented and passionate. There are so many people doing incredible things every day, but we hardly have time to stop, reflect, and listen to someone's story. These kinds of projects have meaning on a deeper level, which I personally find very meaningful. The LEGO 40450 Tribute to Amelia Earhart is one of the many sets from the LEGO Brand Store theme. Features The LEGO 40450 Tribute to Amelia Earhart was released in 2021. The set consists of 203 parts. It includes 1 minifigure and 1 instruction manual. The set is suitable for children aged 8 and up.
