gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 27, 2019 Report Posted April 27, 2019 Nice work, just a couple of things, your forearms look really large on you, you may wish to down size them a little. You do have a lot of ridge showing on the backs of arms, biceps and legs. You could also paint the rims of your hovi tips white Tube strips are ideally spaced a pencil width from the sides of the cheeks, also shouldn't be angled. Sides of your ab/kidney appear to overlap, should be touching. Belt could be trimmed to stop at or before the end of the TD. Should straps could be bent downwards at the rear, they are sticking up. You also have a little extra paint on the teeth gums which you could remove. Good luck with approval Quote
msouza[TK] Posted April 28, 2019 Report Posted April 28, 2019 Hi Joaquin & thanks for your patience. Your original Deployment Officer has moved up in rank to Executive Officer. I will be going over your Centurion application and getting back you you shortly. Quote

You could also paint the rims of your hovi tips white I definitely agree with both these takes. the arms definitely could use some slight modification to fit you better. As far as the mic tips, yes, they need some white for the correct details. Good Luck! You are well on your way. Move Along! Quote
msouza[TK] Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 Hi Joaquin, It looks as if gmrhodes has given you some excellent advise. I'm going to need you to adjust the teeth to be able to move forward. Per the CRL Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Take a look at the reference photos and you'll see what the CRL is looking for. Fortunately this can be easily fixed with a tootpick and a little time to remove the excess paint. Please post updated photos of your helmet once completed. Your Helmet Reference Photos Quote
Joako7[TK] Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Posted May 1, 2019 Hi Mike, nice to meet you!! Thanks for your advice and clarifications. I am already working on the modifications that gmrhodes13 asked me and I hope to be able to send you new photos very soon. Thanks again. Quote
Joako7[TK] Posted May 12, 2019 Author Report Posted May 12, 2019 Hi Mike. Finally, I have been able to finish all the modifications. Here you have the photos. Please, tell me if you need any more details. I hope it is everything correct. Thank you very much. Quote
Digz Graavz[TK] Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 I agree with gmrhodes... The forearms look off. The gaps at the elbow and wrist look really large and as a result your arms look huge and out of balance. Quote
msouza[TK] Posted May 15, 2019 Report Posted May 15, 2019 Joaquin, I'm going to ask for one more photo, can you upload a closeup of the wrist openings. Thank you, Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 15, 2019 Report Posted May 15, 2019 I was going to suggest that as well. In your EI submission photos the wrists look like the return edge still needs to be removed in the "hump". 2 minutes with a Dremel tool and you will be golden! Quote
Shanester[TK] Posted May 15, 2019 Report Posted May 15, 2019 You are doing great trooper. I just realized were are like brothers! I am TK-71969. Quote
Joako7[TK] Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Posted May 15, 2019 Hi again. Here you have photos of the wrist openings. As you suggested me I have removed the excess of return with a dremel and I think it looks great. And, that´s true, Shenester, like brothers! Thanks to everyone!!! Quote
msouza[TK] Posted May 15, 2019 Report Posted May 15, 2019 Well done, is it possible for you send a picture of the other side of the opening? Thanks again in advance Quote
Joako7[TK] Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Posted May 16, 2019 Hi Mike. Thanks for your quick answer. Here you have more detail photos of the openings. Thanks again!!! Quote
msouza[TK] Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks for getting these to me and for your patience. Quote
msouza[TK] Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 Hey Joaquin, When reviewing your armor we feel that the biceps and forearms need to be reduced to get a better fit of your armor and as a bonus you will obtain that sleek ANH-look. When doing so we advise you trim the biceps from both the front and the back as you will then be able to remove that flat joining surface which did not exist on the original armor. And though it's not required we would also suggest that you try and close the gap between forearm and bicep if possible. Reference Image We also need you to re position the sniper knee as seen per reference image. Reference Image Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 Almost there Joaquin, looking great Quote
Joako7[TK] Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Posted June 23, 2019 Hi again Mike. Sorry for the delay. These changes have taken me a long time because I had to rebuild some of the pieces. For the knee modification I had to remove the piece. It was the third time I had done this change, so the abs plastic was very fragile and because of this it have broken a little bit. I had to restore the calf before sticking again the sniper piece with the changes you had told me. I think now is quite better, however it is not possible to place it entirely horizontal, because the calf of the sds armor is not symmetric. I am able yo force the sniper piece a lot, but not more than you can see in the photos. Moreover, when I forced the piece a small crack appeared, nearly imperceptible. This crack prevent from forcing it more. I hope it will be enough About the arms, I done the changes you asked me to do, trimming the pieces and reducing the width of them. Also I have reduced the diameter in the wrist zone. I hope now they are correct. Thank you for you patience. Regards 3 Quote

msouza[TK] Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 Hi Jaoquin, Thanks for your application for Centurion, Always great to see a fellow trooper take their armor to the next level. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Centurion! On behalf of the DO team and myself, many congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly In this area we discuss areas that could benefit from additional improvement. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. And just like in EIB we'll start from the top down. First stop would be your Hovi Tips, you've made the adjustment in weathering the exterior rim as requested but if you want to take it to that next level I would suggest you paint the inside of the rim white as well. The inside of yours are white as required but take a look at the screen used tips and your see what a difference just that little bit will make. Reference Photo Before I move onto your belt I want to comment on your fore arm fix and thank you for having trust in your fellow troopers the difference between your EIB photos and the fix is night & day! Well done Jaoquin. This just may be an adjustment from moving prior to submitting your photos but double check your belt as it should cover just about half of the bottom button on the abs. I've added a snap to make sure mine sits in the same position all the time so I don't have to worry once I put it on or a piece of velcro would do the same. Reference Photo Same comment for the fix on the sniper knee as well, great job! Again great job on the adjustments and welcome to the rank of Centurion. Now go out and make the Empire proud!! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 Congratulations and welcome to the Centurion ranks trooper Quote
