Every once in a blue moon I come across some modeling rarities that are too rare not to share. This is one such model.
The title says it all! Enjoy.

Not sure of the AMS, but 70,000 ZARs = $9,555.40!

A********** Modelers Syndrom

OK, I agree with the "M" and the "S", but keeping it clean here, I will let you put the best word in for the "A". I have something that ends with ****inine! #:-)

This takes a lot of patience to do. It is also fast becoming a lost art. I can remember my grandfather building things with match sticks an tooth picks. I had almost forgotten all about this form of modeling. Thanks for finding this.

I think most people will opt for the Academy 350 version at well under $100

IMHO, anyone who spends that kind of money on a matchstick model needs some serious help and it's going to cost a whole lot more than was sepnt on the build up.

With all due respect, ten thousand dollars is peanuts compared with the millions some spend on 2D models of oils and canvas.

It's art man.
