@everyone Restaurant closes tomorrow evening. I'll be back home by monday. I'd like to get started on the Samil 100 logistics and transport truck asap. Though I lack a blueprint to model over. This may be a small chance but I'll ask anyway... anyone have a blueprint of the samil 100 kwevoel? I need mininum two angles to get the proportions right. Side and top or front view.

The MLRS version will also have to be modeled it has an extended cabin though.

Interesting prototype SADF vehicles

2019-09-20 16:41:22 UTC  

There's that palm tree insignia again. Rather sinister reminder of the Afrika Corps insignia.

@Springbok ill ask my dad if some of his mech-veteran buddies have some info and ill go theough some books for you

2019-09-20 21:47:18 UTC  

@Bartender shot man 🤟

2019-09-21 06:47:46 UTC  

The Veldskoen prototype mpv never seen it before til last night. Looks interesting

2019-09-21 19:41:28 UTC  

I can see why

2019-09-21 19:41:47 UTC  

A couple of high calibre rounds to the front and that engine is royally screwed

2019-09-21 22:29:35 UTC  

@Bartender same could be said for the Buffel and Casspir to be fair

2019-09-22 06:05:27 UTC  

Ehh i guess but their radiatot grills werent as huge as this tbh

2019-09-22 06:07:07 UTC  

True though the Buffel has an exposed engine

2019-09-22 06:07:45 UTC

2019-09-22 19:12:58 UTC  

Easy to maintain and replace

2019-09-22 19:13:16 UTC  

The same for the ratel and olifant

2019-09-22 19:39:48 UTC  

Fun fact the tiffies (engineers in the army) could change a ratels engine on the move by driving the ratel onto a transport truck and taking out then droppong in a new engine and drive it off again and its good to go

2019-09-23 08:55:58 UTC  

@Bartender ja that is mentioned by 61 Mech Roland de Vries in his memoir Eye of the Firestorm.

Can see some SADF and SANDF vehicles used by AU troops in this documentary

2019-09-23 21:50:04 UTC  

Namely casspirs, mambas and buffels

2019-09-23 21:51:50 UTC  

And Samil trucks

2019-09-23 21:52:10 UTC  

Soft skin versions though no kwevoels

2019-09-24 17:59:36 UTC  

With helicopters now in SQUAD officially. I can't wait to start modeling the alouette III and Puma

Will be back sometime after friday. Was supposed to be back yesterday but was invited to lunch at a winery. Couldn't pass on that 🤪

2019-09-24 18:02:50 UTC  

This must be one of the first batch of casspirs? Since later Mk I's did not have CASSPIR embossed on the front like this one.

2019-09-24 18:03:26 UTC  

Or that's a custom job done by one of the Koevoet mechanics?

2019-09-24 18:09:07 UTC  
2019-09-24 18:10:30 UTC  

Poor okes had bugger all to fight with yet still fought on despite the circumstances. An AU faction would be interesting in SQUAD imo.

2019-09-24 18:11:05 UTC  

Mix of western, eastern and south african equipment and hardware.

2019-09-24 18:11:50 UTC  

Perhaps something to look into after the Border War, SANDF and Rhodesian Bush War...

2019-09-25 19:02:07 UTC  

Yup thats a really really early casspir

2019-09-26 19:32:31 UTC  

The turbo wolf used by SWATF not many references for it sadly. Basically the brother of the Casspir. Casspir middle, Wolf top and bottom.

@Springbok get a copy if taming the landmine

2019-09-27 08:18:40 UTC  

Has pretty much every southern african mrap

2019-09-27 08:19:04 UTC  

Surviving the ride is apparently an updated version of that?
