RUDA SLASKA, Poland - Janusz Urbanski has a one of a kind chessboard he never plays, a personalised guitar he does not strum and a boat he cannot sail. Why? They are all made from tens of thousands of matches.
For the last 40 years, the former Polish miner and ironworker has harboured a passion to build replicas of objects, buildings and famous sites with just matchsticks and glue.
The 60-year old's home in Ruda Slaska, a small town in Poland's southern Silesia region, is filled with such sculptures as well as plastic bags full of matchboxes.
