In all its glory: Rolling Through the Bay by Scott Weaver is nine foot tall and contains more than 100,000 matchsticks. It features a number of marble runs that take ping pong balls on 'tours' of San Francisco
It has taken 3,000 hours and 34 years to make - but the results are incredible.
Artist Scott Weaver has created a huge but incredibly detailed model of San Francisco using 100,000 toothpicks.
The work entitled Rolling Through the Bay also doubles as a marble run. Ping pong balls dropped on several ramps at the top of the model follow several 'tours' through the city.
They pass matchstick replicas of sights such as Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge and the city's trademark terraced houses on steep hills.
Incredible detail: The huge sculpture features the trademark houses of the area, left, and the Palace of Fine Arts, right, which contains a model of artist Scott Weaver's heart made from matchsticks thrown by guests at his wedding instead of confetti
Labour of love: A battleship in San Francisco Bay - just part of the model which took 34 years to make REPLIKA TELUK SAN FRANCISCO
