About This Item

Hercules helicopter has landed! The perfect gift or keepsake for any age and occasion.

Growing up on Dangar Island, which is only accessible by boat, Pablo's childhood was spent observing, learning, and 'helping' dad in the workshop. Pablo's dad was a builder on the island and an auto mechanic prior to that. As a young boy, Pablo quickly developed a passion for working with timber, as well as a love of vehicles and anything with an engine.

A hairstylist by day, throughout the pandemic, Pablo spent time re-engaging and pursuing his passions. Now living with limited space and the absence of a workshop, that didn't hold him back from making the most of his leafy balcony and kitchen bench to build, shape, and craft the wooden toys with only hand tools (and the occasional trip back to the island!).

Specifications

Sizes are approximate and may slightly vary.

Hercules helicopter dimensions:
Length: 10 cm
Wing span: 12 cm
Height: 6 cm

Made from eco-friendly timber. The delivery boxes are created using recycled cardboard boxes. Endless hours are spent finishing the toys to avoid rough spots and sharp edges.

Important Note

These toys are coated in a beeswax mineral oil (completely safe for babies and children to play with). Mineral oil is the main ingredient in baby oil. This offers additional protection for the timber.

As timber is a natural product, please understand that Alfresco Customs cannot guarantee that all the pieces will be identical. The grain and color may vary from piece to piece.

The helicopter does have small parts (wheels). Please always use it under adult supervision.

Thank you for your support of Alfresco Customs' creations! They've really enjoyed every hour of the process, making messes and flying Hercules.
