I changed all of the things suggested from my EIB application. I have changed the cover strips on both biceps and forearms to 15mm front and back. I switched around the piece on my blaster. I changed the paint details on my blaster as well. I lowered my thigh straps a touch. As you can see there is still a huge gap. I don't believe with my height there is much more I can do. I also removed my Han hooks so my biceps are lowered a touch.Thanks for looking at my application. Cheers guys and gals!

Coastertk Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Nice job Benjamin. A very quality build you've got there. Well done. 1 Quote

The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Nice set of armor. Your helmet handpainting is truly amazing! Well done. Just a thought, something you could do would be to dab some black paint on the fabric strapping you have on your right/hand side to hide it. Also, something i wanted to comment even though i don't think it will matter at all for your application, you have glued the folding stock's hinge joint too far back on your aluminium pipe. It should positioned right behing the handle 1 Quote
HansDC[TK] Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I don't think its the hinge thats glued too far back. Its the handle thats glued too far forward. Still an amazing build overall!!! 1 Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I don't think its the hinge thats glued too far back. Its the handle thats glued too far forward. See for yourself: 2 Quote
Barcode Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 See for yourself: I see what you mean here. I can totally change that but it will be at a later date. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I'd have never know otherwise. Quote
Barcode Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 And my right side usually doesn't have a gap. I just did not pull it tight enough for it to be zero for the photo, sorry about that. But that is a good suggestion. =] Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Hey there, Ben!! Thank you so much for your application for Centurion. Let's get right to it! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted. The requirements to reach Centurion have been achieved and with that, I would like to congratulate you on your new Centurion badge!!!! *Note* any adjustments or corrections to armor prior to Centurion applications are preferably replaced by Centurion photos. The correction was noted on that particular picture so as to not create a contradiction with other photos. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Up to this point, the suggestions that were made in your EIB thread have been followed through. I hope you can see the vast improvement in the balanced look of your armor. Little adjustments can make a big difference and dropping your thighs and biceps just that little bit really evened the overall appearance. You are a taller, slender trooper.....not much can be done about that but you showed everyone what can be done with the armor. As long as you have that belt tightened, you will not have a side gap. Ironically, I just saw another blaster, recently, that had a similar issue with the folding stock positioning as Germain pointed out. I would at some point, take an afternoon to carefully re-position that. As the photo shows, the end of the folding stock is actually longer than the muzzle itself so this would do your blaster justice to move that slightly. It was an improvement to see that you separated the gloss of the grip with the flatter black of the rest of the trigger group. Much more authentic! Lastly, have you begun offering helmet painting classes? Congratulations again!! 1 Quote

I owe all of that praise to you my friend! And THANKS so much. Im beyond stoked!!!!! I will make that change on my blaster after SWW. Again thank you so much! Many thanks to everyone and Ken Heavenridge for the multiple photo shoots at his house and to others who guided me in this process, Chance for one surely helped! Cheers guys and gals....... it feels great to do my Tampa Bay Squad proud with a nice set of armors! 1 Quote
