In Detail you need to change the following:
- Helmet needs decals on the Tubes, Traps and tears and it needs a new black, not grey frown painting. So you need to remove almost all paintings from the helmet
- the holster needs to be attached on the right side with loops. The belt should not be riveted to the belt
- you need to replace the ANH Handguards with the specific ESB Handguards
All these changes are doable. I did the same to my anovos armor. ;-)
Hope this helps.

LC2 is only a newer revision of the LC1. No other differences as far as I know. Both come in different sizes.

Could someone please tell me, what kind of fabric the ALICE LC1 bag is made of (Nylon? Canvas?) THX

So here are my first Photos for my Centurion submission, please let me know if there are still some changes needed:

So hopefully I get some positive feedback, that I can post all my Pics for my Centurion application ;-)
Thanks to all who helped me out with tips and pointing me in the right direction

So here's my final modification. The Buttplate needed a hot water bath. The Sides stuck out to much.
But I could only pull in 1cm per side. Not much, but it looks better now:

After:
Next thing I'll post are the application Photos for my Centurion Status....

I find my lack of updates disturbing
Well, currently I'm working on a Jawa costume for my youngest son....so my TK has to wait a little
Need to get back on track.

He's not always on. But he will answer. He did with me. ;-)

Looks awesome. Keep it up. Need some more popcorn ;-)

My shirt arrived today in Germany. Thank you so much Joseph, for making this possible.

It's been a while since my last update. One thing I forgot to mention is I trimmed the lower return edge of the butt plate (sorry no pics , yet). Much better fit now
Here's a comperison pic of the front. Left is before and right is after the modifications I made till now:
Only modification I still need to make at the moment is the fitting of the butt plate. But that really gives me a headache. It always slides over the kidney plate, when moving. Still working on this issue, to get it fixed.
And I also need to give the butt plate a hot water bath, to get it closer/tighter to my body(butt). Still peeking out on the sides
Updates coming soon (hopefully). I want my Centurion (add "Money for nothing" melody here)

You need to pull the belt really thight around you waist, so it won't pull down at the back/side and then pop off on the front.<br>
Another thing to think about is Velcro, between belt and ab armor.<br>
Hope this helps.

The Single "Button" on the ab is no Button. It's square shaped.<br><br>
Edit reason: Too slow ;-)

No Problem. Just helping ;-)

So CRL is wrong? How do we get that changed?

No the CRL is not wrong:
Note: The Thermal Detonator is omitted from this costume when a pack is worn.

Thank you Andrew. I do the best I can
Here's one major mod I did before Comic Con.
It addresses the issue -> Fix the overall look and fit of the armor (Chest, Back, Butt):
I had a little overlap at the back:
and the chest could come up a little:
Here's the suggestion , Andrew gave me, to pull up the backplate a bit:
But to get the Chest up a bit, I did a little test fitting and came up with the following mod:
Red lines needed to be trimmed and the yellow one shows that I had to pull down the shoulderstraps.
With these changes I could pull up both, back and chest a little more.
But I also needed to trim down the top chest neck area, because otherwise it would be cutting in my throat.
1st step -> trim the Backplate (sorry no before pic):
2nd step -> trim the front neck area on the chestplate:
Before and after interior:
Before and after exterior:
3rd step -> remove shoulder strap and trim shoulder bridge from the chestplate:
Top: Shoulderstrap removed / Middle: Chest cleaned / Below: Chest trimmed:
4th step -> get everything together again:
Top: before / Below: final chest:
When you take a close look at the inner returnedge of the neck area, you can see how much I trimmed off.
I'll try to make some new pics, me wearing the "new" armor. So you all can see the major change

I had an awesome time at comic con Germany in Stuttgart. I had my armor on for almost 9 hours. No real issues while trooping. Not even armor bites ;-) <br>
So back to topic. Centurion is waiting :-)
-
I'll be at the Comic Con in Stuttgart tomorrow. So that will be a perfect opportunity to test, the changes I already made.
-
OK. Next up is the following objective:
Fix the overall look of the armor (Shins):
This one was an easy task. Just needed to trim some off of the bottom:
I decided to trim both sides, to keep the look and feel ;-)
I like the result:
Next step: optimize the overall look of the armor. In particular the chest, back und butt.

It looks like this really worked well for me. I reironed the return edge to get them aligned.
Here are some pics (Left:before / Right:after):
I think I made a good job. What do you think ?
