I stumbled across this while looking for something else (I do not so much 'surf' as stagger around the Web). Anyway, the results so far would be fabulous in any material but in matchsticks, frankly, it is amazing.

Gobsmacked!

And I just found MORE pictures of it:

More gobsmacked!

Nothing to do with matchsticks, but while looking for decent Transformers kits on the interwebInfoSuperhiway I landed at the site below. Made from bit and pieces of metal, and ranging from 10cm right up to 350cm tall.

And they have a small Lord of the Rings section!

Slightly heavier than your average mini...
