CRL Requirements: It is very much appreciated that you made the changes you did! With that, I congratulate you and welcome you to Centurion!!!!! You are only missing one close up pic of your sniper knee plate but I can see it in the full body shot. If you could add one to your application to make it complete. Quote
Holnave (evan_loh)[TK] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Welcome to the ranks buddy! Quote
bzb Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Posted March 12, 2014 Thank you! Added sniper knee photo, second to last. I still feel like I need to make a couple minor adjustments for fit. We'll see how walking a couple miles this weekend fares. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 Congrats Bobby and welcome to the ranks Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks, Bobby. I knew you'd take care of it. We just want the applications to be consistent for all future applicants to refer to when they want to see how to do it! Quote
kylebeagle[TK] Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Congratulations and welcome!! Quote
bzb Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Had a failure at the shoulders with the sew-in snaps. Either I flail around like an idiot in the armor, or my sewing skills are sub-par. Or both. I decided to do the double-up and use velcro and snaps on the whole piece. Outside of this, I haven't had any other issues, and functionally everything is working out well with this setup. I've received a lot of compliments on the fit of my armor from other 501st folks, and have had a blast at two parades entertaining kids and adults (and taking a TON of #stormtrooperselfies) Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 That's what this is all about! Quote
