I think this is possibly from the TK commander CRL and was copy pasted by mistake to the RotJ CRL. It absolutely does not belong there and should be removed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi again Brendan and thank you for your Centurion application - let´s get to it! 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. You have done great work on your armor and we only have a few suggestions that we feel would really make you shine. First suggestion would be to shorten the belt as it should end behind the TD thus making you look sharp walking away. Second suggestion involves some more work, it appears the right thigh is bigger than the left so reducing it would make it look better to put it plainly. Last suggestion would be to add some paint to the D-ring or replacing it with something a bit more accurate. There we have it, we made our suggestions, the choice is yours - Centurion

I have just been made aware of this really strange ROTJ requirement. Can someone enlighten me please? OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): Two rivets shall be present on each side of the kidney plate, approximately 4mm from the inside edge of the U shaped gasket or molded lip that is adjacent to the ab plate. There will be one rivet near the top and one near the bottom on each side. They may be painted white, or not. There shall be one visible snap on the crotch tab of the posterior plate, painted white.

Congratulations trooper

No, at this point stay away from Anovos and don't give them a single penny. They do not offer refunds on any new purchases and have no proof that they are or have shipped anything.

Added a little Velcro to protect the armor

That was weird, it's been there for a while too. Removed and should be updated next time the CRLs refresh from the source (I think it happens nightly).

Right location at the right time

Congrats Brendan! I have no doubt you will make the Empire proud!

Congratulations trooper, welcome to the ranks.

Many congrats, Brendan. :-)

My pleasure Brendan and same to you

Great Brendan, Congratulations , Welcome to Centurion!!! Well done mate.

I'm basically asking for evidence to see why anyone would think there are rivets on the kidney plate. Only ANH and ESB armour had rivets on the sides of the kidney and abdomen plates. I'll be the first to admit that I don't keep up to date with the CRL's as they are irrelevant to me, but I find it fascinating that certain requirements are presented that don't exist on the original armour. I also fully understand that screen accuracy isn't a high priority of the 501st but I believe that's the whole point of achieving EIB and Centurion, isn't it? Again, photo evidence is what I'm looking for as I know for a fact no rivets were used on the kidney plate and I'm baffled as to why this is suddenly a requirement for a higher level certification.

Good morning Paul, I’ve checked the last two ROTJ Centurion applications and there are no pictures of rivets at the kidney plate. The last ROTJ-TK was approved January 2018... I didn’t find a post about CRL changes regarding this point. Maybe Tony or Sly can tell about this point? Edit: There was a question about the kidney rivets on October 26 last year. There was no reference found during the discussion. Cheers Christian

Sniper knee attached, now onto trimming the shoulder straps, I need to remove the larger ridge from both ends. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks. I have had to customize some parts but it for sure is coming along. I’ll continue to update.

AM is great armor. I've been recommending them for years and they've always delivered great product and service. Dave is a friend and former garrison mate of mine. I couldn't think of a better trooper to take the reigns of the AM line. That being said, I highly recommend Dave's Darkside Depot. You'll be very happy

thank you Tony.

Never too many troopers

Possibly the latest version of AM armor

Added this return to butt plate. Should help the length issue.

Few pieces I have started reruns on. Shoulder Bells and kidney plate. Will have to sand and polish but not to bad so far

Hiya, No one is really 501st approved, however Troopermaster makers beautiful Hero helmets. If built correctly, these can easily reach Centurion. :-)

Go for RS. They are themselves members of the legion, which is nice. And unlike SDS they are not shamelessly lying about their origins.

Cool, thanks. I didn't search that far back This one (linked on that thread) looks good: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/665-howto-a-guide-to-making-a-canvas-belt/
