Master modeller Philip Warren has spent the last 65 years building an incredible fleet of 463 ships - made from more than a million matchsticks.

Mr Warren, 82, has dedicated more than three quarters of his life crafting the matchstick armada and has built every class of ship in the Royal Navy since 1945.

Each ship in his huge collection is incredibly detailed and he has even built miniature model aircrafts to go with his huge carrier ships.

The vessels are all painstakingly hand made using just a ruler, razor blade and glue, and can take up to a year to complete.
