432 ships built in 62 Years 79-year-old Phil Warren from the UK spent 62 years to build this incredible fleet of 432 ships. All vessels are built entirely of matchsticks and boxes of wooden matches. The collection includes nearly 370 American and 60 British ships. Although now has 79 years of age, began creating his first boat in 1948, when he was only 17. He used a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the pieces and boxes, then stuck together with balsa wood glue. In total more than 650,000 matchsticks were used to create an amazing collection of 1:300 scale models. Even 1,200 aircraft made it even more realistic to dress the decks of the aircraft carriers.
