A rugby-mad dad and lad have spent more than 100 hours building a scale replica of their beloved club's stadium out of tiny pieces of plastic.
Phil Delamere, 42, and son Alfie, 10, spent four months painstakingly recreating the North Stand of rugby league side Warrington Wolves' Halliwell Jones stadium in fine detail.
Their sculpture goes into intricate detail, right down to a mosaic brick wall and statue outside the ground in honour the club's all-time leading try scorer, Brian Bevan.
Even the doors on the replica stand are numbered identical to their real-life counterparts at the home of the Super League giants.
And the official club store and car park is a dead ringer for its real life counterpart.

00:00I'm Phil, this is Alfie and we've recreated the model of the Halliwell Jones North Stand.
00:18Approximately five months all in all from scaling it and drawing it on paper a lot of
00:23times to what you see there. It's the only space really big enough, the only other space
00:28was a dining table and I only just was allowed to do it here in the breakfast area. Yeah it's
00:36literally the only place because of its size that we could physically build it and get around it
00:40with all the bits and the tools and materials that we needed as it progressed. Grandad loved
00:46the rugby and we were recreating a model railway for my dad and that was one of the things we
00:54thought he'd want is the rugby stand so he spent many a time in there didn't he. One of my favourite
01:00details is all the door numbers are identical to what they are in the real life so when we finish
01:08coming out of the real stadium I always joke when we come out of there and say oh look door 16 dad
01:13got it right. I mean you like this bit don't you because you're gonna wire it. I like the poster
01:25and then this bit we laugh. The shop windows are actually photos we've taken and if you look
01:34closely you can see the reflection of us in the window sat in our car which is modelled on that side.
01:54you
