Ensi[TK] Posted December 15, 2018 Report Posted December 15, 2018 Hey again! Time to get that Centurion badge NOTE TO THE DO TEAM: These pics are exactly the same as my EIB application, except the ones in the very start. Name: Daniel TKID: 61514 Garrison: Nordic Garrison 501st page: http://501st.com/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=25720 Build thread: EIB Application Thread: Mandatory Information Armor = ATA Helmet= ATA Blaster= Praetorian Blasters Optional Height = 177cm / 5'10" Weight = 83kg / 183lbs Boots = Imperial Boots Canvas belt = Burkbench Designs Hand Plates (+TD screws + frown mesh + single-cap rivets)= @justjoseph63 Electronics= TRamp Neck Seal = The Imperial Seamstress (bought via Burkbench Designs) Holster = Burkbench Designs Here are the pics in album form: https://imgur.com/a/BOYLoSV Here are the updated pics in album form: https://imgur.com/a/sTwMqLl Click the pics in this post for higher resolution UPDATED PICTURES FOR CENTURION BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MY EIB APPLICATION: Left cracked trap on helmet This is merely a reflection/weird angle. It looks totally fine normally Vocoder paint runs I sanded the vocoder and gave it a fresh coat of satin black #85! Chestplate return edge too big I trimmed the chestplate return edge. Black gap at wrists As I have these set up with velcro, it was just a matter of adjusting the velcro a bit. Frayed belt too frayed I gave the belt a haircut. Plastic belt bending outwards too much I can't remember if I did more to it after the original pictures, but I suited up and it looks just fine TD clips to be more squared I have not done anythting here, but it should not hold up my application. I will get to it as soon as I get access to some more power tools. Butt-plate overlapping issue This must've been a dressing error as it isn't a problem. And btw, @shashachu the overlap issue I was referring to, was that of the ab-plate and kidney. As I said in my EIB application i've fixed it with a bracketing system. For anyone new reading this, it is highly recommended! A couple of scrap ABS pieces and some glue is all you need Sniper-knee tucking under thigh This is due to my legs. I don't know if it's genetic or medical but I stand naturally with my legs like a darn flamingo: This is how it looks when I stand like a normal person: Forearm return edge This is just the nature of the super thick ATA kit. There is no return edge present on my forearms. Back shoulder gap This is mostly a dressing issue. After taking the original photos I upgraded with white polyester webbing under the shoulder-bridges which helped bring it in closer. (Sorry for the wonky photos, it's hard doing this by yourself!) Flexible handguards START OF OLD PHOTOS - Front Left Left arms up Left arms up detail Back Right (the overlap issue has been fixed with a bracketing system, let me know if you want updated photos) Right arms up Right arms up detail Ab detail Forearms Cod Buttplate Interior strapping Sniper knee Helmet Hovi mic tips Lens color Thigh attachment Boots Blaster Neckseal TD Belt / Holster Pop rivets + washers on front Snaps at the back Quote
TK-40996[TK] Posted December 17, 2018 Report Posted December 17, 2018 Looks like you did the adjustments the staff told you in your EIB application, good work trooper . Nice set of rs armor . Good luck with your centurion application Quote
shashachu[TK] Posted December 18, 2018 Report Posted December 18, 2018 Hi Daniel! Thanks so much for your patience, and for making the adjustments suggested in your EIB application. Could you include the following photos: closeups of your boots, as well as closeups of the front and backs of your shoulder bridges. Thanks! Quote

I swore I included them lol Also added into the original post Edited December 18, 2018 by Ensi Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 21, 2018 Report Posted December 21, 2018 Really nice job on those repairs, brother. Great to see you went the extra mile, and it shows! Not that it's a deal breaker by any means, but the ends of the TD clips should be squared off. Also, very wise idea putting Velcro on the clips. It keeps them from scratching your armor and in place securely. I've seen more a few folks try to steal them off of a TK on troops. Reference image Quote

Reference image It's on the list I'll have to re-position the panel in order to keep the clips flush with the panel due to cutting/trimming the clips. Velcro is just awesome, you already have it from your build, takes a minute to install. A real no brainer! Just want to make this clear Joseph, since you are a DO, do you want me to do this before you guys can proceed with my application? Quote

Since that particular issue is not specifically listed in the CRL for L3 it is just a suggestion toward screen accuracy. Great to hear that you will be addressing it, but it's not a necessity, brother. Quote
shashachu[TK] Posted December 23, 2018 Report Posted December 23, 2018 Hey Daniel, welcome back and thank you for your Centuriom application. Thank you also for making several of the suggested corrections and for providing updated photos. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos appear to be present. Fantastic job on your build. On behalf of the FISD Deployment team I'd like to welcome you to Centurion. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this area we discuss any areas still needing some improvement. Though they will not hold you back from Centurion, Centurion is the elite level of accuracy and what we suggest here will help you reach that. First, great job on the vocoder repaint! It does look like you might still have some paint smudges left, so just a quick pass with a cotton swab and some paint thinner could clean that up: Next, this is almost certainly just a dressing issue, but I thought I'd point out that in one of your updated photos, your ab plate is peeking out from under your chest, so I'd just double check that the strapping there is tight enough to keep everything in place. Reference Image: Another small thing I'd point out is that now that your belt has been given a haircut, you might want to trim the corners of your plastic belt just a touch in order to align them with the canvas. Reference Image: Moving along, I apologize for not pointing this out during your EIB application, but we noticed that the thigh ammo rivet is a bit bumpy. It could just be excess paint, but the original rivets were smooth head single cap rivets so it'd really make things look clean if that fastener was either sanded smooth or replaced: Reference Image Finally, just for completeness, I'll mention again that the corners of your TD clips should be square not round. (I know you said you would get to that; I just thought I'd mention it for the benefit of those who might be viewing your application in the future.) Reference Image: And that's it! Congrats again, Daniel, and get out there and make the Empire proud! Quote

Question- do you put the rough side of the Velcro on the belt or the abs? I would think that having the rough Velcro in place, while trying to slide the TD on, it would be a pain in the neck? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If it helps, I just put the fluffy loop side of the velcro on the metal clips. No rough/hook side velcro on the belt or ABS, that would surely make it a pain!
