This it truly just jaw dropping beautiful to to me. Minas Tirith made completely out of matchsticks! The project that took nearly 3 full years was recently completed last month. Built by Patrick Acton the model is built out of 420,000 matchsticks and 24,000 small wooden blocks (who counts this stuff!?). I envy the patience Mr. Acton obviously has!

I encourage you to visit the page on MatchstickMarvels.com to see more pictures and views of this mammoth model.
