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).
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.

I wonder if he had any cognitive thought as he placed the 956,000 matchsticks or being away from his wife was the ulterior motive! (just kidding)

I'm still tripping up on the last bit: "...matchstick builders conventions."
