I gotta say, getting the feedback from the EIB thread, and making the changes requested there, have made this armor fit me SO MUCH better than I thought possible.  Hopefully these new pictures show what an ideal suit of armor on a larger frame looks like.  Thank you for your consideration!

Best of luck, Josh!

 

Hey, is that your neck seal sticking out above your back armor?

Ahhhh!  It is!  I didn't have my usual handler (wife) with me for the photoshoot.  Note to self: mount a mirror inside the armor case and carry around a hand mirror.  (:

Looking sharp, good luck

Hey there, Josh!!!Thank you so much for your Centurion application! Let's get to it!

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

There are two missing pictures. (Kidney notch and wrist openings) but both of these details can be seen in other photos. 

Your armor contains all required elements to pass Centurion. I both congratulate and welcome you!!

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

Thank you again for this great build. As a group I respectfully refer to as the "muscle" troopers, this armor was the perfect match for you. Well built, to both your body and to the "hero" specs. This sounds strange,......but your butt plate looks so much better that you trimmed off that corner on your hip.post-12041-0-40631100-1441030365_thumb.jpgeB7ePGBh.jpg

As for the "gun to my head" suggestions, I understand having big calves and how it wasn't possible to pull yours down any further. I thank you for removing the return edge at the bottom. 

I was really hoping you would have removed that extra return edge from the sides of your back plate.

A couple things I would put on your "eventually list" is to shorten the straps at the top of your shoulders. Your shoulder bells are falling away from the top. 

Lastly, the black trim around the rear and temple traps are what I call an enthusiastic version of the "handpainted" effect. It would really benefit the overall look of your helmet to have these outlines evened out just a bit. 

 

Congtatulations again and Welcome, Josh!!

Thank you for the comments and for that spiffy red badge! I will get the shoulder straps tightened up (again!). I can also trim a little more off the back, I thought I got enough of it before, but then I saw you comment on someone else's with a line down the entire thing and not just the flash at the bottom.<br><br>

I did get my calf armor amazingly smaller and they look so much better now! I'm glad I took that suggestion to heart. (:
