  One day I hope to have the time for a hobby. Right now it’s great to see that someone is doing something they obviously love to do.

  oh man I love it. I, too, am an LOTR geek- love the books; every time I read the part where Gandalf and Pippin enter the city, I want to go explore Minas Tirith. Will this one be big enough for me to finally do that? lol

  Not ENTIRELY out of matchstics: The entire structure rests on various plywood forms.

  I love this too and as a result I must kill myself in order to preserve what shred of dignity I have left. Oh wait, that’s just dryer lint in my pocket. Scratch that, no dignity left. More pics please!

  Wow that is really cool but slightly sad that he has that much time on his hands.

  Why is it sad that he has so much free time? Is free time to pursue hobbies a bad thing? Anyone who says it’s sad is probably jealous.

  Apparently, he’s a career and employment counselor.

  Things I would do if I won the lottery and didn’t have to work… (1) go to med school, (2) finally play World of Warcraft, (3) build one of those.

  Okay, I can groove on a miniature Minias Tirith, but somehow making it out of 8 zillion matchsticks seems a little crazy. I guess matchstick modeling comes from a time before video games when to occupy kids on a rainy day you gave them a box of matches and some elmers glue.
