Recycled auto parts and metal come together in a sculpted replica of a Puma helicopter thanks to the creative instinct of Mexican artist Armando Ramirez. He crafts the cabin with a half sphere of the type used in building construction, and thick wires are used to frame the windows. The carriage and seats are crafted with metal sheets and the gear stick is shaped from a thick wire. The blades are shaped from metal pieces discarded off a die machine and a half sphere. Ball bearings from a bus' electric system are transformed into the helicopter's tires and the fenders are shaped from rocker arms.
The top blades are removed for shipping.
Ramírez does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

"Love this artist!!"
We now have at least 4-5 pieces from Armando Ramirez. His talent is phenomenal! This was purchased for our youngest son to hang his car keys and Covid mask on,in his room. This was one of those gifts that is soooo hard to let go of and actually give away. I would love one of just about everything of Armando Ramirez ,we have his amazing deer sculpture that has a place for a votive candle and it is hands down my most favorite piece of art!! Highly recommend getting something from this amazing artist ! His small people sculptures have made charming gifts through the years but his larger work is absolutely exquisite!!!

"Clever auto part sculpture"
I bought one of these pediatricians for my nephew who is a pediatrician. He loves it and told me it is very cute. I also bought one for my personal doctor. She loves hers, too. Armando Ramirez is very creative--a true artisan.. I have bought several of his sculptures and have loved every one of them and so have the peopleI have given them to.. I turned the Barber sculpture into a Retinologist giving an eye injection. When I look at them, they do not seem like they are made out of scrap auto parts. All I see is a delightful showpiece.
