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

Sweet

Only real difference between the two is the turret and cannon

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

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

Looks a bit different to that one

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

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

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

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

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

The ideal result is something like this.

Yah but with a more square top

Ja

The current hats are like that

Just pattern 2000

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

Yes nice

Ja the current hats have less of a flat top

Albeit I suppose it depends how you wear it

Notice the guy on the left wears it quite low down making the top rounded while the guy on the right with the face covering wears it "looser" like the old SADF giving it a flat top look

Depends on your head probably lol😂

True. Head shape matters.

My dads hat doesnt fit me for shit way too small

IIRC they tend to shrink in the sun or when washed?

When I got mine there were different sizes. One was really tight on my head so I went for a larger size

Whereas the helmet is I think a medium or small size

Hmm i dunno i do know they fade alot when washed

Medium should be the best size

Ja I remember a reference to that fact in Teenage Safari by Evan Davies. Some blokes washed their uniforms purposely to get that faded effect of an "oumman"

Damn i really like pattern 2000 camo
