+1.

There was a plastic model maker called Matchbox and at first I thought he built an entire set of their offerings. Then I saw the matchstick sample material and it blew me away! Poor guy, I bet he never had time for WITP-AE!

Years and Years and years ago I built the Alamo out of Matchsticks. I received 2nd place in a state history contest. But these ships are magnificent....GP

It's my understanding that they're still made, specifically for hobbyists.

Do yourself a favor and look at the pictures of his models. They're absurd.
