A model life



For a while I was following the Boing Boing website, which is truly wonderful & energetic but its just too much for me – I cant keep up the pace

The “lampshade … made from bazillions of toothpicks (12,500 or so)” took my fancy, but it made me wonder if anybody still makes models out of matchsticks these days

David Reynolds does

He has made an oil rig from getting on for a bazillion bazillion matchsticks (4 million plus)

Matchstick train kits are available if you want to take up this hobby
