Another amazing email received that I had to share. This guy has the patience of a saint. Imagine just how long this must have taken to make a miniature city out of millions of toothpicks. After getting this email and contemplating putting this up on the blog, I did a little research first and found his site. You can see it by clicking here if you are really really interested, otherwise just scroll down and see the pictures that came in the email, but I suspect just come from his site anyway.
Some interesting bits and pieces - it was essential that I actually did the research as the text in the email was completely wrong! Folks, do your research - that is what the internet is great for:
It took Stan Munro 2 years to build toothpick city 1. He is nearly finished toothpick city 2. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 liters of glue (toothpick city 1 used 2 million toothpicks, version 2 uses about 4 million). He can spend until 6 months to create a building (well the very first 1 took 6mths, now he is down to about 2mths) and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. Before making large toothpick structures for a living, he was the "wacky morning guy" on 13WHAM-TV, in his hometown of Rochester, NY.
He sold toothpick city 1 and it is now on permanent display in Mallorca, Spain

See you can follow your passion! This is now his job, and he makes good money out of it. Marketing!
