MatchStick Eiffel Tower

Paris is the city for lovers, and its indelible landmark is unarguably the Eiffel Tower. So famous and loved is this symbol that a guy from Ukraine actually made an exact 3.3 feet replica of it in his living room using matchsticks. While it didn't say how long this feat took, the matchstick Eiffel Tower took 7464 matches to make, with 15,000 details. There are too many photos to attach, so I am uploading just a few to demonstrate the level of intricacy of the model.

To truly capture the romance of Paris, the matchstick Eiffel Tower even has LED lights installed which lights up to create that magical Paree feel.

PS. What I found funny was that next to the Eiffel images were ads with headlines reading "Beautiful Russian Girls" and "Looking for Polish Girls". Hmm... is this the new millenium standard of romance??
