Matchstick models are scale models made from matches as a hobby. Regular matches are not used, however, but a special modeling type which do not have the combustible heads, and can be bought right here from eHobbies.
The matches are cut by means of a sharp knife and fixed together using glue, often being held in place by cardboard "formers" until the glue is dry. Many kits are available, consisting of instructions, pre-cut card formers and sufficient modeling matches for the project. A number of hobbyists prefer to build their models from scratch.
Choose from such notable landmarks as: the Eiffel Tower match stick model kit, the Chrysler Building match stick model kit, the Taj Mahal match stick model kit, the Notre Dame Cathedral match stick model kit or the Empire State Building match stick model kit. You may also choose such matchstick model kits as boats, airplanes or trains.
