Mr Phil Warren and His Matches.

For quite a few years now Phil has been making ships and aircraft from matches and their boxes.

I think such steady application should be rewarded, so I dedicate this post to him.
I have also written a poem in his honour.

I make my ships from matches
I've constructed flotillas and fleets
Some people think I'm crazy
But it's kept me off the streets.

    Good on him! What a great absorbing hobby - and good on you for honouring him with a special post, it's well deserved.

      He is an inspiration - living proof that if you peg away at something, little by little, you can create … flotillas!

    That's quite an astounding story. There's much going on like talent, creativity and just being persistent.
