Impressive, I Guess: Dude Builds Minas Tirith Out of 420,000 Matchsticks
By Great White Snark | February 26, 2010
So some guy decided he would build a model of Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings trilogy with 420,000 matchsticks. Which only took about three years of dedicated skill and concentration.
And now his work is featured in the Matchstick Marvels Tourist Center. (Which is sort of like a museum. But not as respectable. Or with as many clean bathrooms.)
What an attention whore, eh? One time I spent seven whole hours (in a row!) building a LEGO Batmobile, but you don’t see me parading my accomplishments in front of the nearest truck stop museum or whatever. (SEVEN HOURS!)

Hopefully he won’t try to recreate Denethor’s demise, that could only end in tragedy.

Cool article, I wonder if the guy has any friends, though :)
