@Boomninja the Squad SDK is required for modding Squad

Satisfied with these so far. Yellow has been altered to match the gold of the Squad logo.

Work in progress of the Vektor R4

Recruitment poster

@Dr. NUGGETS I have and am using it as a point of reference while modeling. Thank goodness for that video of his because it is making it far easier to get things right. Albeit I am only making the R4 modifications afterwards as I am currently modeling the standard Galil since the first batch of R4's were identical to it. I will then make the later R4 variant with the polymer handguard and other modifications unique to the R4 and R5.

Won't be making the R6 as it was not issued to the SADF and SANDF AFAIK.

For the R4 yes

R5 doesn't have a bipod

LM 5's are single shot civilian versions I believe?

I'll look into it. Wouldn't be a problem keeping the bipods on the R5's

Cheers man. I'm keen to see it in Squad I wonder how they will perform against the AK's and M4's

Lower calibre though so less recoil than the AKM

AK74 is in 5.56

No scopes for any of the factions though so that's going to be very interesting

Kind of like a bridge between Post Scriptum and Squad.

Shorter engagement distances etc

Thick bush is also going to be a factor.

Yes

50 Round mags for the R4 will be available. But only one per rifleman as was standard in the SADF from what I've heard.

There would have to be ja. Will see how that will work when the time comes

Although troops on patrol would use the 50 round mag first because it wouldn't fit in their battlejackets unlike the 32 round mags

Yes R1 will be made but the FN FAL is already in Squad and will be using that as a placeholder til I model the R1

I'll probably have the R1 ready before the character models though so no worries

@Stom Cool man, I forgot about the PSSH having both stick and drum mags.

@kingdmb Yes I do plan on using satellite images for real world locations like Cuito Cuanavale, Cassinga, Tumpo, Lomba river etc

@Kooijpolloi Awesome bru does he have an R4 or R5 without rails on it as well? Otherwise no worries just take pics 😉

I'd like pics of the iron sights as well aiming down so I can get the sight picture as accurate as I can get it. Try to get all angles

Awesome that'll do. Take as many pics as you can bud would help me out a lot

@Kooijpolloi My mother loving man!

Thanks so much

Crude boxout of the Eland 90 at the moment. Working on multiple models at the same time ✌🏻 I'll be streaming my modeling sessions soon after Christmas so you guys can pop in and watch every now and then and see the hours it takes to get things accurate 😱

I'm modeling the Eland 90 with an interior as all SADF vehicles will have one albeit simplistic not as detailed as the real thing since that would take forever

Thanks man. No need to take years, all it needs is a few months to about 1 year provided I put the effort in. The trick is to stay motivated 😋

Most of the FAPLA and SWAPO stuff is in thank goodness. So it's mainly the SADF stuff to do.

FAPLA and SWAPO stuff being AK's, BTR's, BRDM's etc that are already in Squad

Nah those are the ones done by OWI

May have to do some of them though like the T-34'85 as that doesn't seem to be coming to Squad that I know of along with the PT-76, BTR-152 and others though the SADF stuff is the priority since its so unique whereas a BTR-80 could pass for a BTR-60 at least as a placeholder so not too bothered with them at the moment.

Just pray it comes out 😂

So many mods get left in limbo for a variety of reasons. Although I'm far more passionate about this than any other mod... Patriotism helps

@Boomninja The South African way 😋

Thanks again Kooij those pictures are a god send

Don't know it? Did I miss something? 😅

So sexy! Paint me like one of your French Panhards 😘

Awesome! The only one I've seen in person was at the Military history museum in Joburg

Oh sweet good catch

My pics taken at the museum in 2015

Live nearby? Ninja?

Nice man, I miss SA golf. There is only one golf course here in Europe where I am currently and you've got to pay 14000 rand just to get a "green card" to play on the course otherwise you're limited to the driving range.

I'm supposed to come back next year but we'll see.

Current WIP of the Vektor R4 (early Galil version with wooden grip and carry handle) The standard R4 that Kooij posted reference material of will be made as well which will be easy as the changes aren't major. I'm including both the early Galil variant and the later standard R4 variant for variety along with the R5 for crewmen kits.

I agree the Vektor R4 with the polymer grip and no carry handle looks far better

So far ☝🏻

@Kokkewiet Waiting for Modding 2.0 though since if we start importing content into the SDK it may all break when 2.0 releases. Just getting models ready in the meantime.

Hi guys. Sorry been awfully quiet for so long.

Just a recap of the models currently in progress. Keep in mind I'm the sole modeler at the moment so progress is awfully slow. I am trying to build up a team but it is quite difficult finding experienced modelers to help work on the mod.

As you guys have seen before the Buffel is the closest model to being completed but I'm kind of stuck on it at the moment due to the complexity of it. With the exposed engine compartment and so on. So I've decided to move on to the Eland 90 and Casspir since they seem like far easier challenges for me.

@Kooijpolloi 😝 There will be the proper R4 version without the carry handle don't worry.

Hey man, I was the same once. If you're keen to learn how to model then I suggest you watch as many modeling tutorials out there. As that is what I did when I first got started and slowly but surely learned the workflow. It took me awhile though, but everyone learns at different paces.

Little bit of progress on the Casspir today.

You can now use custom SABW flag emojis <:SABWIcon:555822341947392011>

@Kooijpolloi Ah didn't know that. Although there are images of troops maybe Koevoet? In nutria uniforms sitting on a Casspir here

Ah alright. No worries there as I'll be including Koevoet as well

The tiffies?

Ja I know. Didn't know that the tiffies weren't allowed to work on the Casspirs
