Good luck with approval, you may need to scrape some paint off your crotch rivet. Drop boxes should really come out a bit more also.

Your drop box placement looks fine.

I've referred here a TK1650 Billhag diagram.

 

Your armour is a nice fit on you, I see that you've opted for the movie accurate type look here.

 

Your helmet tube stripes are a tiny bit, further out than the general folk follow at the aerator end, but they still look good.

 

My only bug bear here is the holster length and the width of the tan straps.

I'm very surprised that this is a RS holster.

 

I'll leave the final say so to the DO.

 

Good luck

I forgot to mention that your white elastic straps for your shoulder bridges are in the wrong place.

They need to tie down the ribbed straps to your backplate.

Easy fix.

I was looking at the gap in this photo:

Other than some details mentioned above, looks great! RS is so dang shiny.

 

One thing I noticed, and this is more the armor than a Centurion thing, i think... RS belt has round buttons instead of the square+round? ("square buttons")

 

I'm just curious.

The drop boxes move around when the belt is not snapped onto the armour.

In his ab detail photo, you can see that the center button is square it looks like the detail is just not as clear in subsequent photos.

Yes I know this mine is the same but still should have been fixed for application photos, this is for centurion after all and newbies may think this is ok

The are out to the sides as far as they will go in this picture:

 

And that is fine for me.

 

The real "problem" is that the rivets holding the plastic to the canvas belt are not positioned properly. The should be further out to the side. This is an easy mistake, and I made the same mistake when I built an RS this summer. It's an easy mistake because the RS belt comes with formed indentations that fools you into thinking the rivets should go there. If you're not thinking about it, it's very easy to just go with those. That creates the problem that the drop boxes cannot sit further out to the sides, since the are blocked by these rivets.

Yes, you get to keep your centurion badge with your new armour. Well done.

[HeloTrooper]

Excellent! Thanks to everyone for the guidance and commentary.

 

A couple corrections as discussed previously...

 

 

Paint removed from crotch snaps and rivet

 

 

 

Elastic over the back of the shoulder straps (in better position)
