A quick blurb from the web site:

"79-year-old Phil Warren from the UK spent 62 years to build this incredible fleet of 432 ships and 1200 aircraft, all built entirely of matchsticks and their wooden boxes. The collection includes 370 U.S. and 60 British ships and their associated aircraft."

Wow.... I hope he isn't/wasn't a smoker. Think of how many cigs that represents!

Seriously impressive.

Reminds me of the scale model collection at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

(BTW, a fun museum to spend a day in generally, too.)
