Matchstick Models

Post by McAvoy »

Found this site from another forum. Alot of matchsticks. All I have to say is wow! :shock:

Matchstick Battleships

Also an added bonus. Lego ships were popular a few years ago, but still impressive.

Wow indeed! I wonder how many matches went into that?

Am I the only one here is wondering if the ship(s) float?

What's more amazing is that this guy has a whole fleet of German ships to do battle with the less worthy plastic models.

What I want is 1/10th of that guy's a) patience; and b) free time.

I am taking a guess the guy is probably retired. I have been to expert (as in creating scratchbuilt models and detailing them) model forums and majority of them are near or past retirement age.

I'm certain it floats.

My curiosity is if it's purely matchsticks or matchsticks over some sort of internal framing.

Maybe both? Matchstick framing.
