Man spends 32,000 hours creating a model of an oil rig using four million matchsticks

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:55:07 +0000

David Reynolds 51, has spent 32,000 hours creating what is now officially the world’s biggest matchstick model. Apart from costing him £5,000 in wood and glue, it has left things a bit strained in the Reynolds household. The model weighs a tonne, is 3.6m tall and 6.4m long and at one stage had to be split into 14 sections. Each matchstick was individually polished and then glued in place to create the 21ft long, 12ft high masterpiece.

A man who spent 15 years building a gigantic oil rig out of a whopping 4 million matches and hopes to get his creation into the record books. The current record for the most matches used to make a model stands at three-and-a-half million matches. The model took up two bedrooms, the loft, two sheds and half his garage so he’s now relocated it to a local museum.

There’s the main body of the rig itself, supported by three enormous circular buttresses, littered with cranes, lifeboats and a helipad marked with an ‘H’. Then there’s what’s called the platform – almost as big as the rig itself and designed to bob about to one side on an enormous floating pontoon.

‘It just started as a bit of a hobby but I guess it got out of hand,’ said retired oil rig engineer Mr Reynolds. ‘It’s good fun and keeps the grey matter working.

Surfing in Icy Waters

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:17:05 +0000

Surfing is always a fun thing to do whether you are a beginner who keeps falling off the board or a professional. But, what you see in the pictures is extreme and extraordinary. While surfing in warm waters is one thing, surfing in icy cold Arctic waters is a whole different experience. The diving suit has to be always worn so you don’t die of the cold and the waves that come up can be pretty high so you must be a good surfer to be able to do this.

Although some of the regions look quite calm others looks downright rough. You can’t deny that it looks appealing and the lack of crowd makes it all the more special. The breathtaking beauty of the ice everywhere adds to the feeling of pleasant isolation. If you look hard, you will see that a few tiny houses are the only sign of inhabitation you see in all the pictures.

They have almost all popular Japanese food covered and all set, strapped to the mini truck. These sculptures from the Tomica series may look small but are priced at $270 per figure. The food on the tiny trucks look very real and even the garnishing is made with a lot of detail.
