A tennis fan has painstakingly constructed the world's first replica of Wimbledon 's iconic Centre Court - from 12,000 TOOTHPICKS.

Shaminder Singh, 31, started his project ten months ago and has spent 40 hours a week patiently cutting and gluing tens of thousands of toothpicks.

The forklift driver bought the teeny pieces of wood from dozens of supermarkets to get the perfect mix of colours for the replica he built in his bedroom.

His incredible model of the world's most famous tennis court features the iconic retracted roof, balconies, tiers and stairwells - and of course the Royal box.

Single Shaminder from Coventry estimated he spent around 1,600 hours on his model which he completed just in time for the 2017 competition.

In 2015 he made a teeny Old Trafford stadium out of 600 toothpicks, and a recycled plastic cricket stadium in memory of the late Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes.

Speaking today, he said: "I have spent a lot of time working very hard on my model but I am very proud of it and very pleased with how it looks.

"After having made a cricket model and a football model, I decided that I wanted to make something different so decided on tennis.

"I used only good quality toothpicks as I did not want ones that would break easily, and I visited different shops like Tesco and B&M because I wanted to have different colours.

"I made it all after I got home from nightshifts at work.
