“It took about half a month beginning from when we first collected the bottles,” he said.
Expressing his delight at the creation, Ahmad Afiq said he also received much encouragement from his friends.
The results of the competition will be announced once the school session resumes, he said, adding that the replica is currently placed next to his family home.
