Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections.

 

A great build that's for sure, so we only have a few adjustment suggestions to balance things out and get you looking your absolute best.

 

Your shoulder bells need to come in ever so slightly at the top, but also need to be rotated forward to close up the gap between them and the chest plate. I think just a minor strap adjustment and better positioning while you suit up should take care of that.

 

Looking at this image below, I think also if you drop those biceps and fore arms, the gap at the wrist end will be reduced and the look will be more even. Maybe 15mm or so drop should do the trick.

 

 

 

I reworked my shoulder strapping to be tighter and more forward facing. Gaps have been evened out.

 

This suggestion is one of comfort more than anything. I know if i attempt stairs and the like, my thighs dig in to me at the top, so taking the protruding corners off the top of the cover strips will tidy them up and give less material to dig in to you.

 

 

How did I not think of that earlier? So much better now!

 

We have a question about the mysterious mark on your belt.

Is it a hole or a mark of some sort? either way if you can try and make it less visible, or even gone, that would be great.

 

 

Mystery smudge has been cleaned up.
 

 

Lastly, onto an accuracy point, talthough the crews you have used are flat blade, they are of the wrong size (too large) and could really do with a coat of black paint for that screen used look.

 

 

I replaced the screws with smaller ones and painted them black.

 

 

Onto the photos: Huge thanks to Jay, CoasterTK, for taking these for me!

Looks good buddy. Fingers crossed.

[nukem25rs[TK]]

Nice work! good looking set of AP!

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

Looking sharp, Marco, and GREAT job on those ab/kidney and back/kidney connections!  If I could make a couple of suggestions, they would be to trim off the last little bit of the return edges on the "hump" part of the forearms (picture) and perhaps raise the front of the belt a bit.  In theory, it should be touching or even overlapping the ab button plate a bit.  Fantastic job on that armor, sir, and I see a Centurion award under your name soon!

Also, AWESOME job on that E-11!!!

 

[Sam Crow[TK]]

nicely done. good luck!

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Hey Marco Sly or myself will be with your shortly. As Joseph mentioned there is to be no return edge on the wrist side of the forearms. Please remove and post a updated photo when you get a moment. Thanks brother 

[Atin[TK]]

Thanks for the feedback! I took a solid 2 mm off the humps on the wrists:

 

 

 

Also, AWESOME job on that E-11!!!

 

 

Sheesh, I can't believe I forgot to give due credit here: Terry/Pandatrooper did a phenomenal job on that blaster indeed!

Hey Marco can we see photos of the wrist side of the forearms please. Thanks

[Atin[TK]]

Sorry Tony, had a brainfart there. Here you go:

 

 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Thanks Marco. At L3 these areas are to be removed. If it's not too much trouble please remove more from the wrist side and submit a new photo. 

 

Thanks again

No problem Tony. How's this?

 

 

 

If I cut any deeper it'll cut into the first grove.

Hi Marco, thank you for making the requested updates, and for your Centurion application, lets get to it.

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all necessary requirements for level 3. Sly and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Centurion. Excellent work.

Awesome, thanks Tony! I've had help from countless people along the way, both here on whitearmor and from within my garrison, so thank you all so very much for helping me out and being such a great community!

Well deserved Marco! Congratulations.
