Too much time on his hands: Stan Munro’s Toothpick city
What happens when your wife leaves you and you get fired from your cival engineering job? Well chances are you already have a bajillion toothpicks in your basement, because lets face it… who doesn’t? So you could put all that time and toothpicks to use and come up with a new hobby. Toothpick city building sounds like a good choice! Although my story isn’t very likely to be Stan Munro’s story, he’s still found the time to use those bajillion toothpicks to build a city. He’s got plenty of the recognizable buildings from around the world too. Very impressive Stan. Full collection and a link back to the original set after the break.

Amazing TOOTHPICK Architecture! Not-so-tiny models are awesome! Whodathunkit? This artisan quit his job to construct what you see here. Can I have lessons please?
From Page: “Stan Munro from New York has quit his job as a TV presenter since 2003 and worked full-time for the job of constructing world architectures with toothpicks. It took him 6 years to set up two breathtaking ‘toothpicks city’ by using 6 millions toothpicks and 170 liter gluewater, including Big Ben in London, London Tower Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower in Paris, Empire State Building in New York,
Dubai Voyage Sails Hotel etc. more than 50 models of famous landmark structure in the world.”
