It is quite common to see people collecting superhero action figurines but for Mohamad Afiq Faiz Mohamad Amin, he prefers figurines of personnel of uniformed services such as the police and armed forces.

The 33-year-old psychology officer from Gombak, Selangor, has the ability to make 1:6 scale (about 30-cm tall) figurines from scratch, a rare skill that requires creativity, precision and patience.
