Mk I Casspir

Mk II Casspir

Looking real good

Just going to do one last thing and replace the tires of the Ratel and Buffel with the Casspir's tires as they all use the same ones

I actually used the Buffel tire models I already made on the Casspir. Just rounded them off as they were a bit "square" before

I drove past a mk2 today

Lucky bugger

Lol but it wasnt layed out like that

Depends on the variant. There are different Mk II's

There isn't much consistency though with Casspirs I noticed.

Well it had a storage container where the spare wheel is and the spare wheel was where it is on the mk1

Yup exactly what I've been seeing in my reference images as well

It was also a bit shorter but it was definitely a casspir

Some have steel storage compartments mounted on the exterior and others not

There was a shorter Casspir called the Casspir Dumpy

But never entered service afaik.

Hmm could be

My moms boyfriend was a mech troopie and he told me a funny story the other day of a guy who fractured his skull when he tried to rambo kick the doors open, unfortunately the doors are spring mounted so if you kick only one door open itll swing back and as he was jumping out the door basically b*tch slapped him back inside

Haha damn he must have had a pretty bad day!

Indeed

Rendering out the Buffel now with the new tires

Looks so much better now

Is the bonnet of the Samil Kwevoel just that mesh with a frame?

Don't tell me I have to model the bloody engine too 😰

i dont know if it is you need.....it is forum of war of angola war

Ja can't really see the bonnet whether it's possible to see the engine through it. I hope not as I'd like to avoid modeling the engine. But if it is visible then I have no choice. In the meantime I'm modeling the soft skinned variant

Will model the armoured cab as well but not just yet. Just need to get the frame of the vehicle right before I do the armoured cab.

Quite boxy at the moment. The edges will be rounded off soon
