justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 28, 2023 Report Posted May 28, 2023 Looking sharp, Dan! Seriously GREAT job on this build, brother.. always a pleasure seeing someone who has gone above and beyond with tons of details. Well done! If I could offer up a suggestion (not a big deal, btw) it would be: Your bucket seems to be riding a bit high, and I think padding may be the issue. If you can see clearly, no biggie, but if you find yourself tilting your helmet forward to see better you may want to either remove or reduce the padding in the top. I had this issue, so now I only have pads on the sides/rear so that it sits much lower and my bucket moves when I turn my head. Note how the bottom of the helmets sit lower and cover the neck opening in front. Just a heads-up here.. the D.O.s may ask you to raise your TD and bring it in closer. Ideally the top of the cannister should be lined up with the top of the canvas belt (see reference pics) and the top of the clips should be barely visible from the rear. The TD from your last submission (3rd pic below) looks great! Note how the bend in clips on the screen used TD (4th pic) don't even reach the height of the top of the cannister. Other than that, I think you have it nailed. Again, dynamite job in this armor, Dan, and I'm sure you will have that next approval soon! 1 Quote

I can absolutely remove the padding in the helmet to sit lower. I remember you saying this on my first Centurion app. However I will say that I didn’t not put very much in this time because I knew of the issue in the past, and from my costuming experience I believe I have a really long neck lol. My TD clips were from ukswrath, unmodified, but if needed I can adjust them. We’ll see what the DO’s say but thanks again for your comments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
