Auto part chess set, 'Rustic Challenge'
A mighty battle is about to ensue between fantastical armies
composed of recycled metal parts. Armando Ramirez creates an
admirable chess set as he transforms an assortment of parts into
two proud legions. Spark plugs become towers whereas sprockets
form the base of each rugged piece. The horses' manes are made
from galvanized wire and their bases are taken from a car's ignition.
The same ignition components are used to make the base for the
queen and king, and her majesty's legs are made from parts of
a car's electric system. The king's cross is made from nails.
Please note it is the artist's intention no to give his sculptures
a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be
present.
