gazmosis[501st] Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 I don't know why I didn't pick this up on your EIB app, but you might want to retake your full body shots withe forearms on the correct arms. One side has a molded ridge that the finish strip sits on the other does not. The molded ridge should be on top. At quick look, it looks great!! Quote
JLight[TK] Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 Easy pass. Although I would try to get sniper plate to sit more flush against top of shin. Might need to add padding to inside of the top of that shin to help keep the sniper plate from rubbing against thigh. Less headaches down the road. Good luck! Quote

I can see one forearm has like a "bumb" and other does not... I've been told my members of my garrison that is the right arm.. isn't it? Sorry... I really don't know what to change, can you pls explain further...? Right arm??? Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 Hey Rafa! I hope I can explain this well. That is a picture of your bicep. The "thumbprint" or the horseshoe dent is supposed to be on your left arm. Your bicep is between your shoulder and elbow. Your forearm is between your wrist and elbow. Quote
Espaider Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Posted August 16, 2014 All right .... Now I get it... I've been wearing the armor wrong from the very beginning.... I was told that thumbprint was to be weared on the right arm... I will take new full body pics.. (not today I am afraid). Thanks a lot !! Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted August 16, 2014 Report Posted August 16, 2014 Outside of those little tweaks, it's looking great, Rafa! Good luck!! Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Hey Rafa!!! Thank you for your Centurion application! It is great to see that you have applied. No let's take a look at your application and your awesome armor! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: Centurion applications are much more specific than EIB. More photos are required of specific areas that may not have been seen on your EIB application. Before we can move forward, a complete set of photo requirements needs to be present on the application. You are missing a pic of the butt plate/kidney joint, the inside chest plate to back plate connection strap, a close up of the thigh pack connection and the return edge on the forearms at the wrist opening. Although the last one is not on the photo checklist, it is a required feature on Centurion armor that can only be proven by a photo. Next thing I want to discuss are the gaps between your shoulder bells and the ribbed shoulder bridges. These two items should be pretty close to touching. Your left side could be brought up slightly and be good but your right side is what really concerns me. This is definitely going to need to be addressed. I have another concern regarding a different Centurion requirement. Since a full interior shot of your armor was not present on either your EIB or Centurion application, I could not see the strap that connects your chest and back. This strap needs to be white. Will you need to change this?? It seems like these straps in your pics are black. Keep in mind that the straps that connect to your shoulder bells are black. But the chest to back straps need to be white. The next adjustment I will ask you to make has to do with your sniper knee plate. Although it was seen in the film in a similar position on one trooper, it is something that is looked at as an anomaly or mistake. The ridge on the sniper knee should be lined up as closely with the ridge on the top of the shin itself like on Josh's shin shown here. RS is notorious for being difficult to wrestle into position, but it can be done. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: This is not just finding out about what is wrong with your armor. It is about making your armor look its best. You have already begun that process. The seams on your legs and arms are awesome. I jumped for joy to see that you made the improvement of trimming the excess material to make your side seams sooooo much better. Thank you for your work on your thermal detonator by moving those clips up and replacing the cross head screws with the correct black slotted ones. Good work on removing the pain on your crotch hardware as well. Now that you have your arms figured out, that even looks better. Check on those shoulder bells, though These are a couple small steps that will make a big difference. Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Quote
Vader’s Wingman[501st] Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Couple easy fixes and you'll be there! Good luck! Quote
Espaider Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Posted September 17, 2014 Hi there, I fully understand the purpose of your observations and I thank you guys a lot for them. I have already changed the strap to white, it originally was white, I don't know why I changed it to black. Where I am having a lot of trouble is removing the sniper plate... I need some help... how can I remove the sniper plate without ruining the armor? I have purchased a cianocrilate glue remover but it does not seem to work.. do you know what kind of glue does RS use with these parts? Thanks !! Quote
HawkFan24 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I don't think you will be able to remove the sniper plate without damaging the armour due to what RS uses to assemble the shin. Another trooper had a similar issue with the RS sniper plate. Contact RS....they should be able to help Edited September 18, 2014 by HawkFan24 Quote
