Thank you for your Advice,

Ahn yeah!!

[Snaps[TK]]

Looks good! The only suggestion I have is it looks like your holster is too far back. Obviously wait for Steve to make the call...

 

Good luck trooper

[I'm Batman[501st]]

Looking good Twan.

 

More of a fitment issue, can you raise that right thigh up a bit. There's a big difference between the two in that rear shot.

[pattrooper]

Very nice.

[HawkFan24]

Looks good. The placement of your Holster shouldn't hold you up. You can see in many screen grabs they were mounted all over the place on the belt. Awesome looking suit!

There are still some things I want to finetune in the future. Holster placement is 1 of them. Probably need to obtain a new belt for that, because if I take of the holster now, it will screw up my old belt.

additional fans in my bucket, Icom next to my Aker, helmet padding, smaller biceps, more rounded tops of the tighs are some other things on my to do list.

 

Sometime...somewhere in the future, my armor will be near perfect. We should have an additional class/status for that.

Anything which goes beyond Centurion: A Superb class or whatever.

 

But to have a Centurion status would already be such a huge honor! The first in the Dutch Garrison.... Oh boy.. can't wait!

Forgot to mention....need a pic of your forearm return edge

Forgot to mention....need a pic of your forearm return edge

 

HA! that is a trick question.... because there are no return edges on my forearms!

 

[HawkFan24]

Lol

Holster positionning should be fine, a good thing to do about the belt though would be to unglue the end caps to relocate them closer to the edges of the main ammo belt:

I fully expected to see this application. Great set of RS, Twan!!

 

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

All required submission photos have been posted.  Thank you for obtaining that charging handle for your blaster! Looks great! I have to say that you did some masterful trimming to make your sides look just remarkable. The way they should look. Nice work.

Your armor meets all requirements for Centurion. Congratulations on your Centurion quality armor!!!

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

There were two things that I was on the fence about that I ended up just deciding to mention here as a suggestion to look into. 

First was your shoulder bells. The elastic seems to be stretching away, Some pics show them in the proper place, other show them away from the bridges a bit. But they seem to be stretched away from your bridges to me rather than just incorrectly built. The other thing was the point at the top of your right thigh. I know what you were going for here trying to angle the cover strip to blend in the misalignment of the two halves. The point, however is a bit much. This should be taken down just a touch.

It was brought up regarding the drop in your thighs. In your EIB application, your thighs were up nice and close to the cod. But your shins were raised. Now your shins are down nice but you dropped your thighs. I think you are trying to keep the knee gap to a minimum but if the thighs were more comfortable up higher, by all means keep them there.

The location of the outer rivet cover on your belt being closest to the outer edge is an ultra accuracy feature. I still don;t know if RS built your suit, but if they did, the rivet covers were installed with super glue not E6000. I have had little success removing a superglued rivet cover without breaking it. Unless you have replacements, I would vote against trying this. 

 

Welcome to Centurion , Sir!! Keep those shoulder bells up!

[roguewedge[501st]]

Yes! So exited! First Centurion of the Dutch Garrison!

I am going to improve my armor even more in the future. Tighten the shoulderbell straps, round off the upper thights, obtain a new belt to enable to get the holster closer to the ammobelt. Since I assembled my armor myself, I shoul be able to fix the rivet covers.

As you all know...work on your armor is never done. I love it!

Congrats and welcome to the ranks trooper

[teet[TK]]

Congratulations Twan!

It's cool trooping with you! 

[gazmosis[501st]]

Thanks for clearing up the "who built it" mystery. Well done on the build and I know your improvements can only make it better!

[Snaps[TK]]

Congrats and welcome to Centurion!

[Boltstrooper[TK]]

Congrats.   Nice details on your armor.
