This Maltese Chocolatier Holds 2 Guinness World Records
Aug 31 2023 Share

Did you know that a Maltese chocolatier holds not one, but two, Guinness World Records? 

That’s right, Andrew Farrugia is a Maltese chocolatier and holds the records for both the tallest and the longest chocolate sculptures. 

The tallest chocolate sculpture is a 13.52-m-tall (44-ft 4.28-in) replica of the Burj Khalifa building and was unveiled at Dubai International Airport in Dubai, UAE, on 27 November 2014.

Meanwhile, the longest sculpture is 34.05 m (111 ft 8 in) long and depicts a train with an old steam locomotive and a modern locomotive at the two respective ends. 

But that’s not all Andrew created, with his designs, using entirely delicious chocolate, are absolutely stunning in their attention to detail and magnitude.

Have A Look At This Maltese Falcon Yacht Model

Have A Look At This Maltese Falcon Yacht Model
Aug 31 2023 Share

Dmitry Babichev, the head at Professional Ship Modelling Workshop “Babichev”, created a 1:48 scale model of the Maltese Falcon Yacht. 

The look at the 183cm model was shared back in 2021 – a smaller size recreation of the iconic vessel, built first in the 20th century. 

The actual vessel is one of the world’s most complex and largest sailing yachts at 88cm and was put to charter use in 2008.

The model’s resemblance and detail is uncanny, capturing all the amenities of the yacht as well as its iconic Maltese banner at the back of the boat.
