Title: Man Builds Full Scale F1 Car From 956,000 Matchsticks Post by: Mark David on February 23, 2008, 11:20:22 AM Man Builds Full Scale F1 Car From 956,000 Matchsticks
Michael Arndt is a man of matchsticks. Over the course of six years, using 956,000 matchsticks, 1686 tubes of glue, and at least three different varieties of mustache, he built a full-scale replica of a McLaren 4/14 F1 car, at a cost of around 6000 Euros ($8,725). The giant model takes up Arndt's entire kitchen and probably his social life. It can be broken down into 45 parts for easy transport to various matchstick-builders conventions.
