LEGO Link Belt is a work of art

One of the star attractions on the Link Belt stand at ConExpo in Las Vegas last month was a recreation of a Link Belt excavator made entirely out of LEGO blocks.

LEGO Link Belt is a work of art
This incredible model was made by Jumpei Mitsui who is one of only 13 builders worldwide who is certified by the Danish LEGO Group to do this kind of construction on their behalf. The model which is of Link Belt’s 21 tonne offering the 210 x 4, is based on the Japanese built Sumitomo’s SH210 model, which UK end users will recognise as the Case CX210D. This LEGO scale model was 2000mm long, 600mm wide and 1000mm high and consisted of 80,000 individual pieces of LEGO which took Jumpei  Mitsui  an astonishing 2 months to complete. Check out this time lapse video which gives a brief insight into the work involved in the project!
