History completed —
David Mach has brought to life the magic of British racecourse Royal Ascot over the past few decades in a colorful collage made up of 200 photographs.

Life meets art —
The picture boasts a series of key figures in the work, some of whom were on show for its unveiling at London's Royal Academy of Arts.

Collage creator —
Scottish artist Mach was approached to do the work courtesy of his previous creative collages on a vast array of subjects.

Riding high —
However, his equine experience is limited to a 15-foot horse statue he created and which is for sale. Here he is on board the statuesque steed.

Queen's bikini? —
Mach's last artwork with a remotely royal theme involved a collage of a woman in a bikini made up entirely of postcards of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

Made of metal —
His work has proved varied, such as "Die Harder," which depicts Jesus' crucifixion and is made entirely of metal coat hangers.

Scotland's King Kong —
Continuing that creative vein is "Silver Streak," a giant-sized gorilla -- also made from 3,000 coat hangers -- housed in a museum in Glasgow.

'Out of Order' —
A domino effect appears to occur with his "Out of Order" artwork in London, of old red phone boxes piled up on top of one another.

'Darlington Train' —
In 1997 he made a train out of 185,000 bricks, weighing 15,000 tons, coming out of a hillside near the northern English town of Darlington.

Media crash —
A work titled "Bangers 'N' Mash" on display in Glasgow depicts wrecked cars filled with magazines.
