MATCHSTICK CHALLENGE A TITANIC TASK

It took a year and more than four million matches, but Mark Colling has nearly finished his nineteen foot model of the Titanic. It could win him a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

Talking about his achievement Mark Colling said, "I am four million, three hundred thousand matches in at the moment. With the iceberg, the boat and the sea it will be twenty-four foot long, six foot wide and six foot high." 

Mark estimates he’ll use over thirty-six litres of glue and have to fork out four thousand pounds in costs to complete the project.
