AWOL Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I've been looking through other members EIB & Centurion request submissions and have notice for centurion they are often asked to remove the sniper plate and raise it in the outer ridge (left side) Is this a usual thing that needs to be done with RS commissions? If so what are they held on with (glue wise) and are they easily removable? The build date for mine is in 6 days the wait however seems to have been 6yrs that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again... Edited April 14, 2016 by AWOL 2 Quote
Subgathory[TK] Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I feel you, has gone 6 weeks on saturday, longest time i have been waiting for something so mutch.

Buttons[TK] Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Hey Kev, yeah it can be an issue. I had to redo mine. It's not too bad of a deal, you will just need to be extra careful in removing it...exacto knife and a lot of patience. Before putting it back on, I would recommend trimming it so it flows with the side a little better. RS leaves a little rounded edge on the left side which causes it to look like it doesn't line up correctly. 1 Quote

It seems to be (apart from slight strapping alterations for correct fit) the only issue stopping rs from centurion out the box... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again... Quote

AWOL Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Posted April 14, 2016 Or maybe they can just send the sniper plate loose from the shin?Lol I've already mentioned it in an email so either they wont take offence and it will go on right or they will take offence and I'll need to make more alterations too my armour to make basic than you did lol... that's no moon, Kim Kardashian is bending over again...

AWOL Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Posted April 14, 2016 Ahem. Doubt it Well Rob at rs seems to be fine about it... Quoted from email Hi Kevin, no please do show us how you require it. We have re worked the knee very recently. The knee is a part that is missing from Simons suit, so I can understand how this does not sit correctly. We made some changes to make it more accurate, in shape and size, so we should be good, again So it seems all should be OK, tell you something though I felt so guilty saying it even though I had the cheek to... it's like telling Joe Satriani how to play a certain part of one of his solos... But as I've proved to myself over the last couple of days even legends are just people and may have a higher status but in the end they still have to take a dump just like me...

DarthShinzu[501st] Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Got mine coming soon also so I can understand the anticipation. RS is on top of their game. Always been very responsive and professional when I have communicated through email & phone. Glad they are aware of this... Can't wait!! "Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!!" 1 Quote

DarthShinzu[501st] Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Awesome videos IceStormTK!! I actually viewed these before I signed up for the 501st and joined FISD. I noticed that RS posted them on their FB page as well. Kudos my man!! I'll definitely be using that as a reference when I am trying on my armor for the first time "Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!!" 1 Quote
manxtrooper Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Mine came with the lowered sniper plate. Did anyone that adjusted there's have any issue getting rid of the glue mark it left? As its super glue they're using its going to be difficult to get rid of. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Yeebeme[TK] Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 When I got my RS armour the sniper plate was lower than the required position too, but the one in the pics that Rob sent look the business, love seeing a nicely aligned sniper plate 1 Quote
