Really Brian Croucher? Not much else to do in West Sussex?
He finished it last month by applying the last of three coats of clear varnish to the 480,000 matches which have been cut, shaped and sanded into the 5ft 3in extraterrestrial.
"I spent an hour or maybe two on it at a day because I have a bad back and it is difficult sitting still for such a long time," said Mr Croucher, a retired electroplater. "Besides, it can be a tedious business."
Less tedious? Just about everything you can think of, including ...
- Polishing the silver
- Cleaning the toilet
- Separating white from colored clothes
- Greasing your scalp (Am I right, my brothers?)
- French braids
- Finding porn in Utah (it's all online, apparently)
- The magazines in my doctor's office (three copies of the same Redbook, I swear)
- Fact-checking Glenn Beck (it never ends)
They have a pic of the actual item at the Telegraph link above. Dalek here is obviously not of the matchstick variety, it a remote controlled Dalek cake from PlanetOfTheCakes.com created by username PretzelBender.
