Details

As the motor roars into life, rotors begin to whirl and this rustic helicopter is ready to lift off. Armando Ramírez crafts the chopper from an amazing assortment of recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, a timing chain, spark plugs, springs, washers, screws and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
