Hi, Thanks for letting me know about my current helmet and i do appreciate what you are saying. I will try to see if i can make some improvements for when i go for Centurian level and see how i get on. I've made a note of the other suggestions and i can't see anything major there to do and think when they are done the overall appearance will look better. Thanks again so much for the help and time spent on my application, just got to print of and frame my certificate now. Regards Shaun Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Firstly i would like to say a really big thankyou for approving my EIB application and for your time, help and advice for going forward. I have read through the post and appreciate the area's that need attention and thought I'd just go through them. With the helmet i actually got it as it is from RS and i am really happy with it, but looking through other applications for EIB that used RS i have noticed this seems to be standard with RS when it comes to the tube stripes and ear alignment, i'll see how i get on, but may get another bucket if i can't get the ear alignment a lot better. I agree about the paint on the ab buttons and have been thinking about removing the paint and making a small circular template to tidy things up. Not entirely happy with the TD screws myself, the replacement one's were slightly smaller than the ones that came with it so do not tighten up as much as i would like, something for me to work out. My thigh alignment is a pain in the bum, they do wander a lot even after not walking around much, but i like the idea of extra strapping so i will try that. The cover strips on the thighs have been trimmed down a bit, my fault that was an old photo when I first got the kit, the same with the drop boxes, the are secured with E6000 and and couple of stitches behind that's why they look better kitted up. Thanks for the weathering advice on the blaster, nice and easy to correct that, but i never noticed how bad the D ring looks, i'll source another one and replace it. Lastly the gap between the ab and kidney, must admit my belt didn't feel as tight as i usually have it, but i have been thinking since i started this application that it would help to re adjust the strapping abit to make the gap less of an issue. So think that's it, will give me a few things to do before i go for Centurian, but again thank you sooo much for the approval and your time. Very happy trooper.

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Good to hear that I'm nearly there, i'll get the ab rivets painted up and post some more pictures. I'll change the screws over on the TD, just a quick question... what would be the correct colour black, ie matt, satin or gloss? Thanks again for your help and time.

Hi, Managed to get kitted up and some more pictures taken. Retaken the main body shots from all sides and added a few close ups of screws and rivets as requested earlier in this thread. Think i've covered everything, but if yourequire any more pictures or info please just let me know. Regards Shaun Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi, Thanks for the replies and advice. I'm going to have to get kitted up and take a few more pictures, as some of them are before i made alterations, but due to work i'll have to do this the week after next. Assessing some of the issues you've enquired about... The gap between the forearm and hand guard has been reduced, unfortunately long arms, i got another set of gloves and positioned the hand guards higher. The drop boxes have been glued in the correct position with a couple of stitches behind to stop them moving, hopefully i'll show this better in the new pictures. The thighs gap at the back is better than it was, basically one was about a inch longer, so i trimmed it down to make them more even. Other details for the request.. Height 6' 0" Weight 13 stone The Armour, helmet, blaster, boots, canvas belt, holster are all from RS propmasters and the neck seal is from the Imperial seamstress. Hope the information above helps, i'll also add the photos you've asked for.. various rivets and the TD. Like i said before i can't get kitted up as soon as i would like, well it's also getting the better half around to take the pictures, i know they are not what you asked for, but i've just put a couple of pictures below to show the reduced gap between the forearm and hand guard. Thanks again for your help and time. Regards Shaun Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
