Blackbead Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Check out http://www.msn.com/ frontpage video story today! A gentleman from Argentina named Bernardo Casasola worked for over seven and a half years to make a model of a Spanish galleon entirely out of matchsticks! I know what you are thinking but it is incredible! The ship is over ten feet long, fully rigged, and complete down to the last detail. The thing is beautiful! If you get to the page after they take it down, search for the man's name in any search engine and you should get a link to the video of the ship. "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."

Blackbead Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 I like the guy's style - he says he's doing the Titannic next! "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
LadyBarbossa Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 That is some impressive artwork he has! My goodness! And all of it made from matchsticks! Incredible. Lovely galleon though. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Poopdeck Pappy Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 WOW! That Galleon makes me want to go home and watch the movie Seahawk. BATTLESAIL
Kian McBrian Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 That is truly amazing!! I dont think I would have the patience to even do the helm of that in matchsticks!! Its also very beautiful!!!
