Nguyen Thanh Tam, a retired teacher in HCMC, has created miniatures of U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un from eggshells.

It took Tam more than 10 hours to finish each of the figurine. "This is a small gift from me and Vietnamese people to the North Korea-U.S. Summit in Hanoi,” he said.

After 17 years since the first day Tam started making figurines from eggshells, he now has a collection of more than 900 eggshells of various themes such as leaders of countries around the world, sports mascots, and animals.
