David Lindon Sets World Record for Smallest Lego Sculpture

David Lindon, a micro artist from Bournemouth, UK, has set a new Guinness World Record for the smallest handmade sculpture with his creation of a red Lego brick measuring just 0.02517mm by 0.02184mm, comparable to the size of a human white blood cell. This achievement, confirmed by Guinness, is four times smaller than the previous record held by fellow micro artist Willard Wigan in 2017. Lindon, an engineer by trade, utilizes specialized handmade tools and has trained himself to slow his breathing in order to avoid any movement that could disrupt his delicate work, which often requires hours of meticulous effort at night to avoid daytime vibrations. His artistic journey began in 2019, inspired by Wigan's work, and he has previously created miniature replicas of Van Gogh paintings. The verification of Lindon's sculpture involved precise measurements using a light microscope and was conducted by Evident Scientific. He expressed his passion for the challenge and the surprise it brings to viewers when seeing his art.
