Though i think you have what it needs for EIB  , Centurion will require few adjustements.

 

The way you trimmed your ab buttons seems wrong, they should be flat and then glued to the armor:

 

Your ammo thigh rivets will need to be removed, swapped for proper rivets (CAP or split rivets), and then relocated to the thigh bottom ridges:

 

I would also lengthen your shoulder straps and tighten the ab/kydney straps in order to close the gap you have between your kydney and back plates.

 

And of course i would add a strap between your biceps and forearms to prevent any elbow gaps when your arms are at side. it's also great to prevent them from twisting or pinching:

 

You will also need a cocking lever on your blaster

Thank you for all the great advice The5thHorseman!

Hey John! Thank you for your application for EIB! It's good to know there's another "beefy" trooper like myself in the Legion! Let's look at your armor!!

 

CRL Requirements: 

All required photos have been posted and your armor meets the requirements for EIB! Nice work, Trooper! That said, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EIB!!!

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

There are a few adjust that I would suggest that will go toward improving both the overall look and accuracy of your armor. The first thing that needs to be changed are your ab button plates. Although you have the correct color placement, they should be increased in size slightly. They should be in the 10-11 MM range. Most importantly, however, the plates themselves should in no way extend beyond the platform they are attached to.  (See archive photo Germain provided above.) These will need to be removed and trimmed down to fit properly.

Second are the overall fit of your thighs and grieves. I understand that they needed some work to fit your body type. They do look rather roomy, though, in the lower portion of each. Both the human thigh and shin/calf are conical in shape (wider at the top narrower on the bottom) You armor parts should follow this shape as well. Hopefully E6000 was used in your armor construction. I would suggest opening up the rears and having a helper wrap the thighs around you squeezing slightly. Then back the squeeze off until comfortable. You might not notice much change at the top but should notice a lot of overlap at the bottom. If you do this with both your thighs and shins, you will notice an improvement in fit, mobility, as well as a more streamlined overall appearance to your armor. Just make sure to size your shins with the boots ON!!!

Centurion Suggestions:

From the looks of the small details on your armor, you have Centurion on your mind. The Centurion program focuses on all the small details. As mentioned above by Germain, the power pack attached to the lower right thigh needs to be fixed in two ways: first, it needs to be attached to the ridge that runs the bottom of the thigh not to the main thigh body itself. Second, you need to use a solid head rivet not a standard pop rivet as a means to attach it. This should be ideally a speed or cap rivet but could be a split rivet. The ab button plates are a must fix, (sorry to bring that up twice) , I would look into changing out the pop rivets that attach your thermal detonator clips to slotted screws, I would shorten up the strap that connects your drop box to the main belt. Anything over a pencil width is too much here.  In regards to your blaster, there needs to be a cocking handle present in the channel behind the ejection port(see above pic), and I would look into changing out the scope to an M38 or M19 type. The recessed band around the center like on yours are from the "A2" scopes like the M38A2 or the M47A2 neither of which was used for the blasters.If situations allow, everyone should experience a DD build project. Whether a full kit or pipe build, you will not be sorry with the outcome. Please feel free to contact me if you should have any questions. Congratulations on EIB!!!!
