Wow! That is quite amazing, and inspiring! May have to get off the forum for a few minutes and do something!

here are a few more I have done, this was much better then rehab. I built these at a time in my life where I was coming off a 10yr pain killer addiction. due to being caught up in the great American big drug company game, after some surgery from a motorcycle accident back in 02. well 2012 I gave up the pills and have gone strictly weed to cure my pain. which I will have every waking moment for the rest of my life. at least the weed don't make me depressed. lol

Very nice! Are these from a kit, or do you source the materials and build from a pattern? How many hours of labor would you estimate for the bridge? Looks really intricate!!

 

[davefv92c]

Scott these are the one's i do. i modify the plans quite often and double them in size, fill in areas they leave blank and stuff like that. the Riverboat is 4' long 5000 matchsticks maybe 150 hrs. Bridge is 7' long 5000 matchsticks 200 hrs. so they do take some time.

however i don't buy the kits any longer as im an admin on a facebook group where you can download the plans free and build away. getting 1 of the kits is a good way to start so you can see if it is something you want to get into

okay but for real, how do you do it with a parrot. Whenever I try to draw, Lincoln immediately goes after whatever I'm using. I feel like a parrot would go crazy over matchstick models O:
