Changes made from EIB Application (recommendations as well as two changes required for Centurion):

1. Recommendation - added white weathering to ends of Hovi tips

2. Recommendation - Adjusted belt higher using Velcro so top of belt is as close as possible to bottom of ab button plate

3. Recommendation - Shorten back calf cover strip to stop at base of top ridge

4. Recommendation - Butt plate appears to not be connected. This is not something I could adjust as the butt and cod plate were connected with the required strap in my submission pictures. I could attempt to heat gun/bend more curve into the bottom of the butt plate, but afraid it will compromise the fit and ease of movement.  At the current moment, I am able to move comfortably and without any issues, bites or chafing.

5. Centurion Requirement - Removed all return edge from bottom of forearms

6. Centurion Requirement - Adjusted drop boxes to align to edges of belt. Used velcro to help prevent boxes from sliding.

 

 

Thank you for your time, consideration and feedback!!

Hi Gary, just noticed that your shoulder bells were sitting nicely in your EI photos, but here in your Centurion images they are sitting away from the top of the bridges.

Could we please ask for you to correct them as we need you looking your best for this one

Post up a new photo and we shall get cracking on your review.

Hi Andrew! Oh man, I hadn't even caught that!  Looks like I will need to cut some new straps for the bells.  Back when I submitted for EI, I only had a snap to the bridges and then used velcro to connect the strap to the bell (for the purposes of flexibility in adjusting).  Well after the first troop and a failure with my left bell's velcro, I decided to go the route I should have gone in the first place and use snaps on both ends.  Looks like I may have been a little too generous with the length of the elastic.  I'll do my best to get that corrected, suited up and photos retaken by week's end if not sooner.  Thanks!!

Awesome brother, look forward to the new photos.

[FencingCorvetteTrooper[TK]]

Hi Andrew!  OK, I made the new bell straps and looks like that did the trick!  I updated my pictures in full dress on my original post above.  Please excuse the fact that just as my wife started to take some of the shots, the sun decided to perfectly position itself through one of the windows and was reflecting on the armor.  Hoping everything meets requirements as requested!
