This is a rare South African Armored Track Inspection Patrol Vehicle. This is the "Kobus" (For those that don't speak the language, "Kobus" is the Afrikaans name shortened form "Jacobus") - there were two manufactured by the old SAR for the SA Railway Police. The one's name is "Kobus" and it was re-furbished recently. This one is now used by South African Metro Rail and the other one is the "Padda" ( "padda" is also an Afrikaans word meaning "frog") it is stationary - Plinthed - at Windhoek Railway Station Musium. Not a Casspir - not even related but almost looks like the SA built Casper (Gillian) or Wolf on Rails.

Pukus have a standing shoulder height between 27.6”-35.4” (70-90 cm), overall body length from 49.6”-63” (126-160 cm), standing height of roughly 41.7”-52.75” (106-134 cm), and a body width of 11.8”-15” (30-38 cm). The weight of a Puku is between 132-170 lb (60-77 kg). Pukus have a typical lifespan of 15-18 years.

Something I started a while back and completed.

These are some of the rock sculpts I have worked on for the Earth and Air Realm during the production of Godfall. Due to the time constraints I have used a variety of methods to create these, relying on scanned assets from Megascans as well as sculpting.
