Forgot to add, if you need replacement split rivets for your new shims, just let me know via PM and I will send you some no charge.

Are these the right TD screws? They are pan head but I want to make sure

Is it okay that the forearms are not a circle?

Flat/slotted head I hope? Note also those will need to be painted black if you are aiming for Centurion (and you should!).

[Katye]

Yes they are flat/slotted head and yes I’ve got the black paint ready just wanted to make sure they were the right ones

That`s just fine, the original armor were in fact more oval then round

Looks like you may have some issues getting your cover stips to sit flat though, because of trimming you have lost the flat section they would normally sit on, you may need to heat up these areas before applying the strips.

It came pretrimmed so unfortunately that’s what I have. I think the did okay I’ll post the glued picture once I’m home

Okay all—- is this correct for the brow placement? It looks high to me but I really hope it’s okay it’s been a pain in the butt

Does look a little high, more of a sandy look. You can compare with some of the screen images in the gallery

Damn I was really hoping it was going to be okay. It’s been a pain in my butt.

Guessing it really needs to be lowered for Centurion approval? If I need to redrill holes I will

This is from the CRL

Maybe a tad down but I don’t screen centurion applications so I’m sure they’ll chime in soon.

This better?

Looks better, some examples of different gaps 

 

 

 

 

When in doubt always head to the gallery sections  

[Katye]

Finally got the brow and ears hopefully right. Looked at some photos in the galley doesn’t look like my gaps are too big.

Brow does have a bit on an angle to it, may need a tweak. Some gap is acceptable with the ears, if you want to try for a little closer here is a great thread to follow

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Glen is correct the brow is at an angle. Also the eye sockets need to be cut out more also.

How much more would you say for the sockets?

Compare with the image I posted above, there’s a lot of material left on the inside or the eyes and you have a large gap between them.
