    Default Bugged

    Been playing around with some construction work using matchsticks and fairy floss sticks, while its not solid timber work it does mean I can sit in the warm and work during cold winter months (as long as I sweep up the offcuts).

    Great work Iggy, How many boxes of matches did you go thru? I got an email the other day with pictures of a whole flotilla of battle ships some guy had made from matchsticks and match boxes. I like your bugs better. Well Done

    Imagine for a second, if you will, if these were carved.

    There's a project.

    I'm guessing that those floorboards in the pic are about 100mm (4 inches) wide.

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    Yeah I realized after I posted that there was nothing to easily scale them with, they come out at about 600mm. I'd be up for that challenge Undie, anyone else interested?

    Make it interesting - you have to whittle your own matchsticks first.

    (sorry, I've been on a master chef meets sculpture thing in my head. Everything is challenge based and horrible. It's just a phase...it's just a phase...)
