I started a few more projects.
This one is inspired by pictures I've seen from Afghanistan, with US and NATO units, on patrol, walking through and around the poppy fields of Kandahar Province.
I'm going to try replicate the poppy plants, with the poppy pods ready to be picked. I won't be able to produce exact replications of the plant, as that would take an inordinate amount of time. But I do believe I've come up with a decent substitute that will look similar enough.
