Matchstick Fleet - Nothe Fort, Weymouth

This amazing exhibit has, as the name suggests, been completely made out of matchsticks. It is quite awe inspiring to think that Phil Warren starting making these 1/300th scale warships back in 1948 and has only ever used matchsticks and the wood from match boxes. All the colour detail has been painstakingly applied by hand. The Matchstick Fleet includes warships from The Royal Navy, the United States, Russia, France and indeed many nations from around the world and is quite a sight to see.

Open 10.30am - 5.00pm, normal admission prices apply.
