Default Building your own F1 car...

...out of matches!





What do you do when you can't afford a million quid to buy a real McLaren 4/14 Formula 1 car? You spend almost £4,500 building one out of matchsticks, of course.

Wacky German, Michael Arndt spent 6 years building this immaculate replica in his kitchen. And all it took was 956,000 matchsticks and 1,686 tubes of glue. Of course, there’s not much room left for socialising.

Thankfully, it can be broken down – very carefully – into 45 pieces for transport to various matchstick building conventions. Yes, it is insane but you have to admire the single-minded dedication/obsession. Jump now for some sweet close-ups.-Martin Lynch

I have seen some impressive matchstick building in the past but that takes the biscuit. The **** i have seen has come from being locked up 24/7 so is understandable, What's his excuse
Grade A Weirdo i reckon

Without doubt, but you have to say its pretty impressive as well as equally concerning that someone so unstable is allowed out in public

I Really don't want to know his sexual preferences either

Still, it's pretty impressive. I reckon he should make the Death Star next.
