For over 25 years, Pat Acton has been intricately gluing thousands—sometimes even millions—- of matchsticks together, building large scale models!!! With all that practice, he has gotten quite skilled in the craft of matchstick modeling. The scope of detail and commitment involved is rather staggering.
