Where the hell have you been???? Welcome back!

I have no idea on those 3A's WW Robot figure as far as what they are based off of (probably graphic novel) but those are also amazing and these customs are right up there with them and that says a lot!

thank you, kind sirs. i started assemblage on my down time while deployed in afghanistan. i still customize 6" figures, but my artistic creativity has sort of steered to this new direction as of late. 3A weathering styles are a big influence. thanks again.

More impressive creations. Is this something known that people do or something you thought up on your own? I cant say that I've look at Gatoraide caps before and thought to myself, Man I can make a robot out of this!
I love how they are painted up and look like they are actually made of metal.

thanks, Omega. the gatorade idea came from so much material to choose from while in afhanistan. thought of making lemonade from lemons in a literal sense.

Wow nice to see a group shot of all that you have. Really impressive and I appreciate them even more after getting into Ashley Wood stuff, 3A/WWR stuff. Do you sell any of it?

rupertvalero · 10-24-2011, 10:21 PM

thanks. i sell my stuff on Etsy.com under ValeroBots.

Nice work.... I honestly was thinking Etsy and Ashley wood when looking at these, very neat, I made similiar stuff back in the day. I made a huge robot bong haha and some peanut butter robots. I love Ashley Wood's Bertie Bot, but at $300 it's pretty steep. The look great. Some could use a bit more base coating IMO, but to each their own. Ps if you want to try something different, get yourself some crackle paint, that way all you do is layer a good solid dark base, then cover it with a different shade of paint, then spray the crackle and wait for this amazing weathered look.
