''Matchstick models'', as the name suggests are made from Matches as a Hobby . Regular matches are not used, however, but a special modelling type which do not have the combustible heads, and can be bought from art and craft shops. 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 modelling matches for the project. A number of hobbyists prefer to build their models from scratch. A notable matchstick model was a Scratch-built replica of Norwich Cathedral which included electric lights and measured over six feet in length. |
