A guy from Ukraine, Alexandr Pashkevich, has made a model of Eiffel Tower from matches.
The height of the structure is 3,3 ft (1 meter) and it consits of 15 000 different details made from 7464 matches.
More than that there is a illumination in the tower, made of numerous LEDs.

Pretty impressive.
.ee domain name belongs to estonia.
I bet good money that the guy is from there.
Some people have too much time to spare
Useless but very impressive
Very nice!
i have a project on that so far this is the nicest i’ve ever seen
John, I am from Ukraine but own several .com and .ca domains. Does that make me Canadian or “International” ?
C’est Magnifique!
Definitely to much free time you have.
Very impressive
[...] Always a wonderful site for the offbeat images of Russian society, English Russia has a great photo spread of a Ukrainian man who built a wonderfully detailed model of the Eiffel tower out of matches. What’s more it has a whole network of little LED lights to make it all the more true to life. I’d sure love to know more about the process and the time behind this one. [...]
That’s really impressive and majorly cool!
I had made a similar tower out of matchsticks years ago, but it was nowhere as classy as this one. Excellent work there mate!
Wow, this is very very impressive work, and imagine what patience is needed for this. I bow down to you man!
Nice, time spend making/building?
Wow. Now this is very impressive.
Makes me think about “Le diner de cons”… a great french movie.
wow. i commend you for your patience. great photos

[...] All I can say is wow. It is about 3′ high, has sweet LED lighting, and made from over 7,000 matches! The intricate detail is amazing. Here is just one photo showing what I mean, but the original site has over 20 photos, including one of the LED lighting. [...]
When are you going to light it up and watch it burn?
Can I say “Ohmygosh!” Shows what people can achieve if they unplug themselves!! Bravo!
~Lori
I’ll be first in line for a small scale model!!
I hope nobody sneezes!
One could say that Mr. Pashkevich has too much time on his hands or that the time is/was wasted but disagree and find spending time creating something as intricate and as beautiful as what he has created is far better than spending time browsing or “surfing” the Internet as many of us do. I would bet that most here who feel that Mr. Pashkevich’s hobbies are a waste of time, waste more time on the Internet and have created nothing nearly as beautiful to show while only contributing quips and insular comments.
Beautiful and amazing work Alexandr. Please keep it up.
Sorry for the mistake, I meant to say that “I disagree.”

Great work Alexandr. I know how much time,patience and imagination went into making this piece of matchstick art.
Have a look at my late father’s “matchstickology” as he coined his work on this website:

magnifique !
GREAT work really , congratulations !!
this pic……….ROX!!!!!
wow! that is so cool!
wow can you teach me??????????
Nagyon jó!!!!!szuper
it is nice….how u put the light inside there??
i like eiffel tower very much….
Beyond belief, words cannnot get close to conveying the amazing quality of this build and the skill that has gone into it. I build models and have built a ‘kit’ Eiffel Tower with 1603 pieces, that is quite impressive and took me well over 100 hrs work,so I can appreciate what must have been involved in this incedible construction. My only comment on a personal point is that I wish you’d painted it in it’s correct colour, then it would have looked even more realistic and not made of matchsticks. If people reading this like models then have a look at my 100% paper Motor Bike made from 541 pieces, that took me over 250 hrs work, think how long this Tower took, years I should imagine. It’s just a shame that ‘we’ never get the chance to see amazing works like this in the ‘flesh’ and just have to drool over photo’s !
This model is so good it reminds me of the Ferrari 312pb made by Pierre Scerri, the most realistic Car model ever made !
Cheers
Andy
Great!

I was just searching for this the other day. Glad I finally discovered what I needed
just out of curiosity, is the first platform solid as in packed with matchsticks or hollow on the inside?
Mam już prawie ukończony pierwszy poziom, myślę że za jakiś czas zobaczycie podobną. Ale nie za szybko!
