@PetraCephas Not this week, been a real kak week. But will try to sneak in some in the next few days.

Tried to make some progress on the Eland earlier this week but got nowhere. It's weird how some days you can sit modeling for hours and make significant progress then some you make bugger all 😬 such is life as a 3D modeler I guess.

I dont see R1 SLRs anywhere <:RhodesiaFlagicon:555822462907056139> <:SouthAfricaFlagicon:555822280479866890> 😣

cause its already in

Handguard in Squad looks different though

Wooden stock, flat Polymer handguard

R1 isnt SLR

Ifs FN fal

We were smart enough to keep the full auto

But will you be changing the handguard?

@Deleted User yes handguard will be changed to match the R1 as it was in SADF service.

Thanks alot man, I was unsure to the point of where I wanted to redl Blender and actually edit the FALs model to make it look like the one that we used XD

Got more pics, but I don't know if they are useful. It's something I found in Mozambique, but still looking for better wrecks.

@66Lost99 nice find man! Hows your stay in Moz so far? Those are BTR-152 wrecks. These were used by the Angolans too, early on in the Border War before being supplied with the BTR-60

Hot as hell, but I am cool with that. Two weeks later...

Is the country as big of a shithole as it seems

... And the machine is still on the trucks

We are in Tete , close to Moatize. So it's quite rural. (that red line is how we will be moving through Malawi al the way to the coast)

Long drive, how long you planning to stay?

Just under 1000km, will be here till the end of the year, the we will see what happens after that

Ah alright, so I suppose we won't see you on SQUAD for awhile?

Yip, I would think so, still want to test the lte signal and laptop. (if the game is up to date, I should try before helli update)

@66Lost99 what you guys moving mate ?

Posting this here just for reference later

@Bartender @Kooijpolloi do you guys know what this body armour is called? It seems the SANDF still use it today. Seems like it came out in the 90's?

Here it is in a more recent photo

@Springbok just their normal bullet proof with one mag pouch. Its when they do the "policing" stuff

@Kooijpolloi ah alright thanks.

Differences between the Oryx and the early war Pumas

Oryx body is also longer than a Puma but shorter than a Super Puma.

Hi guys first news update since I've been gone!

Installed Blender 2.80 and jumped into it to try and get used it. It's a major change from 2.79 though I'm picking it up quick. I'll follow the Blender youtube channel 2.80 tutorials to get to know the new user interface better.

I have exported the FN FAL from the SDK to use as a tracer for the R1. As I can't use Squad's FN FAL for the SADF faction as it's not historically accurate (different front handguard) and probably some other minor differences.

I've also exported the Stryker, Ural and US Utility truck so I can more or less decipher the way the final low poly models of my vehicles should look, such as matching the same level of poly count more or less etc.

So no modeling progress today but will hopefully begin sharing modeling progress on here within the next few days.

Niceeeeeee... Cant wait

I'll also be following Warmaster's SDK tutorials in the next few days to bring myself up to speed with the SDK.
