I don't understand this mindset where people see something that clearly took great skill and effort and want to ruin it? A lot of people must think like this since there is a lot of vanadlism around.

Anyhow, yeah, that seems a bit of a poor use of time but fair play if he enjoyed building it!

That is awsome. Very skillful person.

Cosimo · 29 Jul 2009 at 19:18

"Pictures of Matchstick Men" comes to mind, great piece of work.

PaulyD · 29 Jul 2009 at 19:25
