This display is showing members of the I CORPS Mike Force, A-113
approaching cautiously the remains of an
overgrown Buddhist temple.
The temple has been build by myself out of cardboard boxes which have been covered with a home made stone texture then painted and weathered. The
Buddha head on one of the column is a garden
ornament again textured, painted and weathered. The wooden
Buddhist carving was bought for the occasion as well as the plastic household jungle plants. The display was set up
amongst other ones in the Rolling Thunder display ten to recreate the Vietnam Jungle Experience.
