The5thHorseman[501st] Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 What a great looking armor! I won't even talk about getting EIB because if you don't get it no one will But about Centurion, if you plan to submit, the holster will need to be re-fastened to the belt with the rivets rightly positioned: I feel like your sides on the ab plate could be shaved a little more: Also i think you will need to add a cocking lever to your blaster: And about some improvements unrelated to Centurion, you can dab some black paint on the thermal detonator screws; and i know it will be difficult but it would be good if you could move the belt end caps closer to the edges of the abs belt (perhaps with a combinaison of re-gluing and modifying the end of the belt trimming it could be possible): Quote
HawkFan24 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Posted May 8, 2014 What he said ^ I have RS and I ended up trimming both sides of the ab plate and it makes a huge difference. Its not only a more comfortable and better fit but it looks better too. Quote
Kiyomasa Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks for the support and advice guys! I was planning on going for Centurion one day, so I really appreciate the advice and that you took the time to help me out! Quote
usaeatt2 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 NICE! REALLY NICE. Germain already covered everything I could find and then some... Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Hey Shannon: thank you for your application for EIB! You Garrison should be proud to have another nice set of RS armor to join them! Let's look at your armor! CRL Requirements: All submission photos have been posted and your armor meets the proper standards. With that I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EIB!!! Other-Armor Fit Assembly: Other troopers have beat me to the punch but i do want to suggest that you strongly consider trimming up your sides like Germain had pointed out. This will go a long way towards an overall better fit and look to your armor. You have the room based on the overlap. This will also go towards accuracy as the rivet placements on your left side and the male snap on the right should be 10 MM in from the seam. Trimming the sides will bring them much closer to their proper place and look MUCH better should you decide to apply for Centurion. Make a check on your calf closures. They seem to be separating at the bottom. Lastly, I would scale back that bottom button on your ab plate. It is a little large compared to the others. I know it is molded larger, but the size is a little distracting. Although it won't affect your applications, I would remove the paint from your crotch rivet. It really was never there. Centurion Suggestions: With the details you have present, it leads me to believe you will be applying for Centurion. there is some work needed before you can do that, though. Your holster straps that connect to your belt need to be reduced. They should measure 20 MM(3/4 inch) wide. Since we are talking about your belt and holster, you have the holster attachments placed in the center of your belt. They need to be located in the lower half of the belt. You can see the proper location in this screen grab. The attachments on your left side need to be changed out from screws to split rivets with an 8 MM domed head. In your Centurion photos, you must show that your drop boxes align with the ends of your waist belt to pass. Your blaster will require a charging handle as Germain pictured above, You have a wonderful set of armor that can be brought to that next level with a little time and effort. We hope to see those changes made and move you closer to Centurion! Quote
Kiyomasa Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Posted May 9, 2014 Wow! Thank you so much! I'm so happy / excited to join the EIB ranks. I am hoping to apply for Centurion status in the future, so once again I really appreciate all of the feedback and support which will hopefully get me there! Quote
