Looking good Trooper.

 

Best of luck with your application!!

Nice build.  As thin as you are, I wonder if you should trim a little off of one side of the abdomen, just enough to eliminate the overlap between the ab and kidney plates.

[Techne[TK]]

I don't know if this is necessarily a requirement, but the snaps/rivet that attach the strap between your crotch/butt are usually unpainted, not white.

Hi Gary. thank you for your EIB application!!! It is great to see yet another set of RS armor gracing our Legion here stateside!!! Good choice! Let's get to your armor.

 

CRL Requirements:

You left out one photo that I will need to fully process your EIB application. I need an action shot!! Your armor meets all the EIB requirements. I will pass you and update your profile but I need that action shot soon, please. Congratulations trooper!!!!!

Centurion Suggestions:

The gray buttons on the center plate of your ab need to be enlarged. I know we previously discussed this, but this is the official notification   Here is an archive pic.Your 4 button plate seems fine. You are not the first RS built armor submission to have to do this. We see this alot.

Next, your drop boxes must align with the ends of your belt. It seems from your pic that there will need to be some type of repair to assure this. Replacing a piece of elastic really isn't rocket science.

Lastly. You are a thinner trooper. I don't mean that in any disrespect, I am just stating the obvious as it pertains to your armor and its proper fit. The seams on your sides should align together with minimal if any overlap. Not only is your overlap a little excessive but it is throwing off the proper snap and rivet locations. Here are a couple archive shots of the AB. Note the right male snap locations and the left side rivets and their distance from the edges.

Here are my suggested adjustments on your armor marked in red.

None of these suggestions require any major surgery. Double check your photo submissions also prior to applying as well. Good luck and contact me should you have any questions!

Can I check, for Gary's sake, and for my current build in progress, (which I'm watching all of the EIB applications) but should there be a gap of 3mm between the TD clips and ends?

[gazmosis[501st]]

I see where your question is stemming from. For someone building their own armor, I would hope this point would be picked up. RS built this suit. They build their suits based on the armor they have not our standards. This is the TD they vase theirs from.http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/image/2855-dsc02266/

Great job, congrats trooper.
