There are still kits available to make quite elaborate. I saw some recently in a catalogue (can't remember which) however while I can see some reason in using a waste product to make something if you have a lot of time on your hands it does seem pointless buying lots of little sticks to glue together rather than making the shape with balsa wood, card or papier mache & chicken wire.
I saw something recently about someone who had made a model of Hogwarts in matchsticks and had sold it for a very good price.

I tried to make a trinket box. I made one side of the box, but didn't realise I had stuck it to my desk with the copious amounts of glue I had used and when I went to move it, it snapped into bits. On my second attempt, I made another one side, then ran out of matches. By the time I had bought some more (coz I wasn't clever enough to go and get one big bag) I had lost the side of the trinket box I had already made and just gave up!
Oh yes...I've been a quitter for years!

Oh yes! I made a Windmill and my sister made a caravan. They came in kit form and you had to glue the matchsticks to a card template. We got ours for Xmas - I don't think my parents like me very much. Ha ha.

When i was in my early teens (eighties) the craze was for making things with wooden ice lollypop sticks. I made a little Frontier cabin and still have it.
