Full Scale Matchstick F1 Car
This cool F1 Mercedes McLaren F1 was created by Michael Arndt using 956,000 matchsticks over a span of 6 years. It also took 1686 tubes of glue and the whole thing costed around 6000 Euros. Patience is definitely a key factor and its amazing how intricate the details are to mimic that of the real F1 car.
