Hi, The Deployment Officers Team (DO) are in charge of reviewing and processing EIB and Centurion submissions in accordance with CRL requirements and official reference images. You can take a read about the Advanced Programs bellow and you can contact directly by PM to @TKSpartan @Chemi @Doggydoc or @Deployment Officer Team for any inquiry about it.

Questions are part of the process! Better to ask questions and clarify procedures before making any cuts or gluing anything, because doing things right the first time is much easier than having to fix something. I'm working on my third kit and I sometimes think I have too many questions, but that is only because I am being critical of myself. No one has ever told me I ask too many questions!

Hi Tropers!! How are all fitness going out there? Last Night , sad to say, I realized that may armor doesn't fit as good as I would like . SO, I'll need to start doing more cardio and reduce my calories intake .

Don't think I'll have them done for the event this weekend, but they are getting closer. Need the ammo belt and strapping. Sent from my SM-N981U1 using Tapatalk

I use 3 rotary tools, I hate changing the bits when I'm on a roll, I use a quick change cutting disc, debur/drill tool and sanding drum,.

In recognition of all the troopers who have hit field exercise milestones:

Over my time coveting, building and then being a TK I've built up a large collection of 'Billgrams'. I keep getting asked for where they come from (anywhere I saw them, a couple direct from him on my WIP). So to save people the hunting I present to thee my collection. I'll try keep it updated as I find them. In a few cases there's multiple version, in these cases I will only have the most up to date version to save on confusion. I'm also providing the click through links to flickr so you can get at the original files as I have (some will be 3rd or 4th hand I am sure!) Finally, some of these have exact measurements on them. Don't blindly follow them, check them on your armour brand, ensure it looks right. If in doubt ask. To quote the man himself: Paint colours (though see this thread for a more up to date one I did: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39650-anh-paint-colour-guide/) Helmet - Colours Helmet - ANH vs ESB Helmet - Padding Helmet - Frown_Mesh Strapping suggestions Snap positions - Front Snap positions - Rear Snap positions - Limbs Snap positions - Arm Arm - Strapping Armour Ab - Kidney Rivets Single Snap Thigh - Single cap rivets Thigh - Ammo Pack Bicep - Adjustment Armour - repair Belt Belt- Trim dimensions Belt - holster position Belt - drop boxes Belt - snap mounts Belt - Popper holster mount Belt - which side Belt - corners Belt-Popper Locations Drop Box - Dimensions Misc Ab Plate - Dimensions TD sizes

Some reference material

You may want to take a look to the billgram diagram for the thigh ammo pack. At this moment I'm out of office and don't have access to the references I have in my PC.

smh... thank you Mario. Happy I didn't drill and rivet. I was looking at them wrong...

Just a quick note. If if not a mirror image, the ammo pack goes in the right thigh.

Thank you so much!

You may want to take a read to this WTF armor build thread, It can give you some building tips Keep it up

You should trim from the ridge 7,5 mm each side. This will reduce the bicep. Make it with one side, test with your arm . It's strongly recommended to use the inner clack compression clothes so you can have a better fit.

1. Just the right side 2. Strapping depends how much your sides overlap, you only want the sides to touch each other. 3. There are various different ways to make the tab/locking system, with the tabs tight against the insides of the armor it shouldn't allow any overlap. Here is "crickets" version. There have been numerous different ways to add some kind of locking system.
