Last piece added for the session. Added the spare wheel branch protectors or whatever they are. I assume they're there to protect the rear spare tires from being ripped off.

Looks amazing boet

2019-03-17 15:13:20 UTC  

Awesome man! This is really coming a long nicely :)

I remodeled this thing so many times last night it's not funny 😪 anyway I reckon this version will work out. As I've changed the blueprint as the other one just wasn't working well for me.

I'm modeling this in a different method to the Buffel and Casspir. With the Eland I have separated the floor, roof and walls as individual parts that will then be joined once I am happy with the general shape of the hull.

Awesome.. That gun is gonna be awsome to use

2019-03-19 14:11:23 UTC  

That's the 60mm mortar version

2019-03-19 14:11:52 UTC  

90mm variant 😉

2019-03-19 14:11:53 UTC  

Wow Niceeeee

2019-03-19 14:12:09 UTC  

Capable of taking on enemy T-34'85 and T-55 tanks

2019-03-19 14:12:14 UTC  

Are gou gonna do the 90mm too

2019-03-19 14:12:16 UTC  

Albeit the latter needs carefully placed shots

2019-03-19 14:12:29 UTC  

Ja 90mm as well as it was the most common Eland variant

2019-03-19 14:12:40 UTC  

Sweet

2019-03-19 14:12:56 UTC  

Only real difference between the two is the turret and cannon

2019-03-19 14:13:21 UTC  

The hull itself is the same. Much like the Ratel 20 and 90 having different turrets as the only different more or less.

2019-03-20 03:25:46 UTC  

Okay.... Phew finally some flipping progress on the Eland.

You don't want to know how many times I've modeled and remodeled the hull 😬 It's proving quite a tricky thing to tackle due to it's funky shapes.

Anyway I'm happy with the way the hull is shaping up now. Should start looking pretty cool by tomorrow.

I'm trying to get as many vehicles in the work in progress pipeline so I can pump them out quickly one after the other when Modding 2.0 comes out. Of course that is being optimistic!

Playing around with the sculpting in blender seeing what kind of results I can get with the SADF Bush hat as a test.

Will tackle this properly later on though when the time comes to sculpt the uniforms.

@Springbok ill get you reference pics for a origional legit bush hat

2019-03-21 10:27:22 UTC  

Looks a bit different to that one

2019-03-21 11:44:43 UTC  

This bushhat unissued one. Could be a later version though if it's not exactly the same as what was worn from 1966-1989 @Kooijpolloi

2019-03-21 13:48:55 UTC  

If you want the cover that comes over the helmet I have one

2019-03-21 13:51:48 UTC  

If you turn the helmet around wouldn't that be easier then to look at?

2019-03-21 14:08:22 UTC  

@Springbok lol no that ones good your model just looks a bit weird the top part is what bugs me

2019-03-21 14:26:37 UTC  

Ja don't worry about it as it's just a test to see what the sculpting tools are like in Blender. I'll tackle it seriously later on when the time comes to create the uniforms for the factions

2019-03-21 14:27:29 UTC  

The ideal result is something like this.

2019-03-21 14:29:03 UTC  

Yah but with a more square top

2019-03-21 14:29:10 UTC  

Ja

2019-03-21 14:29:15 UTC  

The current hats are like that

2019-03-21 14:29:26 UTC  

Just pattern 2000

2019-03-21 14:29:32 UTC  

The texture quality and baked sculpted wrinkles is what I am looking for

2019-03-21 14:29:41 UTC  

Yes nice

2019-03-21 14:30:06 UTC  

Ja the current hats have less of a flat top

2019-03-21 14:30:16 UTC  

Albeit I suppose it depends how you wear it
