Did the same guy do both the LOTR and Hogwarts models?

He did indeed. Here's another piece of work he recently completed. Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. Took two years to complete and is made up of 298,000 matchsticks & 2,000 toothpicks.

I really dig those matchstick models. My favorite medium is LEGO, but, while I have buckets and buckets of LEGO at home, the one thing I don't have is time. I continue to be amazed at the intricacy of the work some of these guys do. Wish I had the time and the talent to do this stuff.
