Man Builds Car From 956,000 Matchsticks

Michael Arndt is a man of matchsticks. Over the course of six years,

using 956,000 matchsticks, 1,686 tubes of glue, and at least

three different varieties of moustache, he built a full-scale replica [above and below]

of a McLaren 4/14 F1 car at a cost of around €6,000 ($8,725).

It can be broken down into 45 parts for easy transport to various matchstick builders conventions.
