Hello everyone.
Welcome to our last post of January 2024. Where did that first month go?
This week, D and I are sharing the crafting of another family member, my wonderful husband and D's dad. His particular interest lies in working with matchsticks to create 3D models.
Some years ago, he started making trinket boxes from matchsticks using thin card as the backing to form the shapes. This hobby later developed into some of the models in the photos.
Each model took an awful lot of matches and glue and even more patience.
The vessel is a replica of the Mary Rose ship, which was commissioned as a naval flagship by Henry VIII between 1509 and 1511.
Mississippi River Boat
Medical helicopter
BAE 146
Airbus 340
Steam train and tender
And finally, a traction engine and mini fire engine.
Have a great week, everyone, and we hope the sun shines wherever you are.
Take care.
B and D
