Minas Tirith Matchstick Model - Neatorama

A couple of years ago, Iowa artist Patrick Acton built a model of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School completely out of matchsticks. His latest matchstick project is even bigger. He’s building a model of the fortress Minas Tirith from the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Acton expects the model to be completed in 2009. Link -via Dump Trumpet

Okay, I can groove on a miniature Minias Tirith, but somehow making it out of 8 zillion matchsticks seems a little crazy. I guess matchstick modeling comes from a time before video games when to occupy kids on a rainy day you gave them a box of matches and some elmers glue.

Things I would do if I won the lottery and didn't have to work... (1) go to med school, (2) finally play World of Warcraft, (3) build one of those.
