Keep the comparison accurate
Statue of Liberty. Statue alone or statue plus pedestal? Always check where the measurement starts.
Empire State Building. Keep “including antenna” with the number. Roof height answers a different question.
One World Trade Center. The 1,776-foot figure includes the spire; it is not the roof height.
The artwork is interpretive. The scene preserves relative vertical scale, while the source definitions explain differences such as antennas, pedestals, launch configurations, and fictional versions.
