More MatchStick Marvels
My post about the mini-Eiffel Tower prompted me to find more examples of matchstick art. My search led to the discovery of Patrick Acton. I have included a couple of his works. He actually has his own museum. The charge for the museum visit is $3 for those over 13, $1 for ages 5-12, and any child under 5 gets in free. Many of his models are featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not museums around the world. If you're interested in seeing more of his work and you don't feel like traveling to Gladbrook, IA, then you can get a DVD featuring his work.

Good god! This is more impressive than the Eiffel Tower one...I wonder how long each of these projects would take...
I just discovered your site and I love it, Tex! Being another guy from Texas who blogs randomly, I'll be back!
Absolutely amazing. This took nerves of steel.
Thanks for the kind words, Ron.
Just think, Titania Starlight... The guy has a full time job too.
You're so right, Joanne. His web site has what he plans on building next year.
Wow, these make me want to try to create one.
They sure look like they take a lot of hours to make. So Debo Hobo, I hope you have a lot of free time.
