gazmosis[501st] Posted December 27, 2014 Report Posted December 27, 2014 Hey Michael!!! Wow! Merry Christmas to us!!!!! Thank you so much for this incredible example of both a stellar EIB/Centurion application process and of course, a stupendous build! This will be at the top of my "how it should look" list to link people to when they want to see a fine example. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted. Your armor contains all required elements for Centurion. Now for a Christmas gift from the FISD.......I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Centurion! Other Suggestions: Thank you for making the little changes you did; Adjusting the thighs, good brow trim position, proper drop box position, better drop box thickness, all were icing on this tasty TK cake!! How could this possibly be improved?? I would dampen a brush with mineral spirits and go around the black outlining of the tears, traps and rank bar areas of the ears and tweek the paint just a bit to smooth out those lines. But if this is something you think is cool, by all means leave it. Now get out there and make your Garrison proud!! Like you haven't done that already! 1 Quote

TK-Sharp[TK] Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Steve, Hey Michael!!! Wow! Merry Christmas to us!!!!! Thank you so much for this incredible example of both a stellar EIB/Centurion application process and of course, a stupendous build! This will be at the top of my "how it should look" list to link people to when they want to see a fine example. Thank YOU for this amazing Christmas present!!! I'm pretty overwelmed and quite speechless about this honor This really means very much to me. It's the first TM armor I completely built myself and to be honest: I wanted to build this TK having it Centurion-Ready right from the start As all of the Centurions here I spent numerous hours of research before starting the project. During the build I had an awesome Garrison mate that reviewed the pics I made and I had at least one GMO who gave me some very useful hints. At least I had you and all the guys responding to my EIB Thread giving me all those precious hints for getting even better and reaching this rank. Thank you for making the little changes you did; Adjusting the thighs, good brow trim position, proper drop box position, better drop box thickness, all were icing on this tasty TK cake!! Doing these mods was a matter of honor to me. I worked on them as good as I could. Be sure that I'll have a look on how to smooth out the black lines of the tears, traps and so on THANK YOU ALL !!! P.S.: Be sure to get another application for EIB/Centurion as soon as my Incinerator Trooper armor is finally 501st approved ... already waiting for almost four months ...

Spycee[TK] Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 Congratulations, a very good build ! The only thing I would change is to put the S-trim junction under the vocoder to hide it, it looks better when you look at the back of the helmet. Quote

The only thing I would change is to put the S-trim junction under the vocoder to hide it, it looks better when you look at the back of the helmet. Hi Spycee, it's true: It looks better but the most accurate way is having the junction at the back I had a short discussion on that with a Garrison mate when I did that with my Incinerator helmet ...
