Chicago artist Wayne Kushi has created an impressive model of famous ships of thousands of ordinary toothpicks and glue.


50-year-old Wayne Coucy recalls how he built his first model out of toothpicks, then it was just a child in fifth grade. The first model was an Indian tepee. Nobody expected that the toothpicks to him play a great role in my life.


from toothpicks, he built the house, and a year later he began to work on the construction of the ship.


Navy Wayne Kushi began to take shape when I bought a plastic model of Revell «Titanic. Drawings and diagrams, he studied every detail. And to recreate it had to spend about three years and 75,000 toothpicks.


After "Titanic," Wayne has decided to create a copy of Lusitana from 193,000 toothpicks. The next project was the ship the Queen Mary, a length of about 8 meters and was created out of approximately 814,000 wooden toothpicks. In his collection there is a ship Cutty Saek and other popular court.
