Getting missing texture error on a model I compiled

I can take any pictures anyone might need to help

What does Crowbar show at the bottom of the log when you click the View tab?

Is the material in a mount.cfg mounted folder or garrysmod/materials?

Assuming the basetexture is the problem, change it for a base texture you know is working fine to be sure

garrysmod/materials, testing the view in crowbar now

So it seems the issue is the .vmt cause different base texture yields the same results

I just had one of those moments where I overthink the issue so much I miss what's right in front of me

I interchanged the word sovietcap and soviethat and messed it up, FUCK ME
