What is this? A white city for ants?! It needs to be at least…three times bigger than this!
This is a matchstick model of Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings by Patrick Acton, matchstick man of Iowa. Patrick worked on this model from April 2007 and finished about a week ago. Impressive stuff, but what happens when the matchstick Orc army shows up looking like someone pissed in their breakfast cereal of choice?
Bonus LOTR link: LOTR nerds are pissed that New Line is only releasing the theatrical release on Blu Ray.

Excellent, outstanding, awesome. I am happy to see this superb example of intelligence, planning, patience, persistence. Thank you for doing it. Thank you for showing it. I wish I had a poster of it on my wall to remind me there are yet caing real craftsmen among the fly-by-night money-grubbing commerical terrorists.
this is badass
