With the arrival of spring, we increasingly remember that we need to make love, not war. Or, at least, find peaceful hobbies, even if you really want to play war games. An example of such creativity - Spitfire fighter model assembled talented sculptors Jack Munro and Charlotte Austen, from … egg cartons.
The idea of creating mock-ups of military equipment from egg packages is not new, last year on our website Culturology. We have already written about the Challenger II tank, assembled by the British Stuart Murdoch. The talented sculptor then took more than 5 thousand packages, but Jack and Charlotte needed even more - 6, 5 thousand! In addition, the guys used 1.5 liters of glue, 5,000 nails, 10 liters of paint and 10,000 iron staples to completely recreate the giant car of the Great Patriotic War. The model turned out to be of impressive size - 42.5 meters in length!
As "building materials" for the Spitfire fighter used boxes of eggs "Eggs for Soldiers", the sale of which is a permanent program to help the British army. A few cents from each package sold is donated to the Help for Heroes charity, which supports soldiers injured in the fighting.
It took Jack Munroe and Charlotte Austen six weeks to create the cardboard plane, and now this fighter, along with traditional exhibits, will take pride of place in the Imperial War Museum Duxford in Cambridgeshire.
