Couldn't be quite sure where to post this, they are 'real' ships even though they are very small!!!! - The text below is from the original 'article'..... If the Argentines start to get arsey about the Falklands, they'll find out that the UK & US navies are more than a match for them It has taken Britain's one remaining shipyard worker 62 years to build this incredible fleet of 432 ships and 1200 aircraft, all built entirely of matchsticks and their wooden boxes. The combined fleet comprises 370 U.S. and 60 British ships and their associated aircraft. Now 79 years of age, our man commenced work by creating his first boat in 1948 when he was 17. He uses a razor blade, tweezers, sandpaper and glue. He has used more than 650,000 matchsticks to create this amazing flotilla. Truly awesome - once again we rule the waves. http://s294.beta.photobucket.com/user/pfmatthews/library/Matchstick%20Fleet#
