How does a soldier spend his time when stationed in hard postings trying hard not to lose focus and sanity? Well this is precisely the question that was ringing in Private First Class Rupert Valero’s head when at times he had hours to kill. Being an avid collector of 6 inch action figures, Rupert decided to create his own customized version of action figures with the material that was readily available to him. Being an engineer, Rupert succeeded in his endeavor and created these amazing pieces of work, inspiring other soldiers to follow suit. Pouring out his creativity into 3-D figures, he created many variations of robots. Furthermore, his usage of upcycled material in his figures makes them ‘green’ and eco-friendly too!
