Howdy, commanders.  This is my second suit of TK-ANH-Stunt armor and my first application for Centurion.  My AM1.0 suit is four years old and about to be stationed on Tatooine.  I've also lost a bit of weight since the first build and gained much knowledge, so my attempt was to build to Centurion right out of the gate.

Hey Daniel Sly and myself are reviewing your application, we'll be with you shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Great looking armor! Not trying to nitpick and it may just be the lighting but looks like there may be a little over lap of the back armor over the kidney plate. The two should align up together. Just my two cents :) Good luck trooper, see you in the ranks!

Thanks so much! I've got plenty to work on in the meantime, so no rush. :)

thanks, snaps!

 

Yeah, it probably the lighting, because my big worry was the two separating too much, so I even had to redo the snap attachments underneath to tighten it up at one point. If it is overlap, it's entirely possible my mind told my body to lean back more to avoid that!!

 

If it affects the app, I'm sure I can take a better picture. :)

Hey Daniel, thanks for your patience brother :duim:  Let's get to it shall we?  As you may know Gazmosis has retired and is probably sipping margaritas on some beach somewhere :D.  Myself and Andrew (Sly11) have stepped in to fill his shoes and hope to be worthy of the FISD honor.  

 

With that said thank you for your Centurion application! 

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

 

All required photos have been posted. Upon close review, your armor contains all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion. You're our first Centurion approval and would like to thank you for this awesome opportunity, Congratulations!!

 

 

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section, suggestions to further improve your armor are provided by your fellow troopers, myself and Sly.

As Snaps mentioned there appears to be a bit of back to kidney plate overlap as seen from a profile view however, after reexamining the interior strapping everything appears to be in order

Though not a requirement it would add to the accuracy of your armor if you replaced the Philips head screws on your Thermal Detonator clips with flat pan head screws and added T-track wiring to the DLT-19 as Gaz suggested also. Other than that, excellent build and again welcome Centurion ranks.
