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
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
Wow, it’s really pretty I must say. Very well done!
WOW! This is fantastic.
Hats off to the creator.
Yurka, good point.
Would you be free for dinner on Wenesday ? :p
I think I found a world champion !
Really cool, mabey you could make a match stick girlfriend
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!

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.”
Excelente, despues de haber conocidao la torre de verdad esta es una replica muy buena, incluso las luces rojas me recuerdan cuando se festejo el año nuevo chino que estuvo de ese color. Felicitaciones
Impressive thing.
Impressive pingback! 😉
this is…….wow:)
hi. do you want to sell it? if so, let me know by email. i am a good and real customer. from London
It is fantastic.I apprieciate your skills and trying for making this tower. excellent
Wow it was realyyy great Mr Pashkevich… specialy the lamps made it more impresive! I can only say, what u have done is incredible!!!!! WELLDONE
Beautiful, Amanzing, and Wonderful! But You Have Way To Much Time On Your Hands! What Do You Do When You Aren’t Doing Things Like This! Maybe a Girlfriend Is What You Need! I Say Try Match.com! No offense!:P I love the piece! I Hope The Lights Will Work Correctly!
its a gorgeous piece but it makes me wonder “Who has that much free time.”oh , i hope the wiring of the lamps isn’t bad other wise…poof. i hope you do more peices but get some friends and go out and have fun … maybe a girlfriend would be good!!!
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:

Nagyon jó!!!!!szuper

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!
