David Reynolds, 51, a former oil rig worker spent 15 years and 10 hours a day building an exact replica of a North Sea platform out of more than four million matchsticks.
Wow! Check out the Telegraph.co.uk slideshow.

Speaking of the social issue sidebar on your blog, once I saw a really horrible bumper slogan:

Do modelers use special matchsticks that have the ignitable lighting head removed?
Otherwise there would be a real risk of the model giving rise to a new sort of oil platform flare-up inferno.
Comment by Pat August 5, 2009 @ 5:52 pmI was wondering that too! Could be a little too realistic!
