10 years, and 1.6 million matchsticks

Michael Williams spent 10 painstaking years designing and building a famous London landmark...out of matchsticks.
The 41-year-old road layer from Shoebury in Essex created a complete replica of London's Tower Bridge out of 1.6million matches.
He spent every evening after work lovingly crafting the 6ft-long structure which twinkles with 156 working lights. But Mr Williams nearly saw his masterpiece go up in smoke when the intricate model began smouldering.

Sure, its a lot of matches... but... anyone could do it.

Try it again, this time inside a big Glass bottle.

Also, isn't something made of matches almost burning down kind of a self fulfilling prophesy?

"Shit, its on fire."

"What's burning?"

"The Matches?"
