Techne[TK] Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Posted January 14, 2014 What is the current width of the strips on the calf closure now? The calf strips themselves are 1-1/2". The calf shells themselves don't quite come together in the back and have somewhat of a space between them. Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Ok. In summary. In favor of the balance between the strips on your thighs and calves improving the final look of your armor, I will agree to the 1 1/2 inch strips on your thigh backs to match the strips on your calves. I am sure once you see the continuity between your thighs and calves, I am sure you will be pleased with the final look of your armor. I anxiously await the final pictures! 1 Quote

Steve, I really appreciate you working with me on this. I think I can live with this, and in fact I am kind of looking forward to seeing how it looks--and I am glad that it works for you too. I will make the changes over the next few days and put up the pictures. Thanks again! Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Alright Chris we are finally there. I will officially put your Centurion award through. Congratulations and thank you for doing all the work that you did and making the corrections. Your armor looks great! I will be a pain in the tookus just one more time and ask you to post an action shot or a full frontal shot with your newly re-painted ab buttons. We all just want to get a final look at your hard work. Congrats again!! Quote

And #108...that matches my street address, so it seems like it was meant to be. And no problem, I figured I'd have to do a final full-frontal shot...just wanted to wait until I was sure there were no more changes to make first! [it may be a few days before I get the pic done] Whoo-hoo! Edited January 21, 2014 by Techne Quote

piklz36[TK] Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Congrats, and nice job on the build. Quote
Techne[TK] Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks all you guys. I appreciate the kind words and I'm really happy to join the Centurion ranks alongside all of your great builds. Gazmosis, here's a couple action shots, use whichever works better. Unfortunately my lighting options aren't as good in the winter when I'm stuck indoors. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Dude man. Your patience and tenacity are admirable. With your attitude you're an absolute poster child for other centurion applicants and you make the program program proud. Thanks for hanging in there. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
