    I tape my arms together with straps so what do you guys think? My chest plate goes slightly over the shoulder.
    Is this a dressing issue or should I trim my shoulder more?

    Personally I would extend the shoulder elastic which would allow the chest to drop down a little. Can't quite see but I would imagine the top of the chest is quite close to your throat. But hey, what do I know

    I have an issue with GMLs expecting Centurion level requirements at basic. I know other garrisons that have that problem and it's a bit disturbing. I believe it's unrealistic and takes away from those who just want to do charity work or have fun. There needs to be a balance, what that is is debatable. 
    Not talking centurion level Tony, but as I said above. Basic is VERY basic at the moment. There are troopers out there who will build to basic, and then be discouraged due to the extra work involved. I guess what I'm saying is that EIB standard should now be basic. Too many 501st garrisons out there clear on a basic level. Then you see other troopers copying their builds, which repeats a substandard build. I honestly believe that if basic was removed, then future builders would engage more with how closer they could get their kits than at the moment. Just my humble opinion, but think we are focussing on the wrong area atm

    Indeed Marc. This has been suggested. Starting from BBB.

    Needs to happen mate. Makes sense, there's too many wanting to clear that are no where near a standard, but then you get the basic crl argument. You know the standards the ukg have and as an armourer the basic leve canl become an area of contention. We want our guys to look the best. However, some just want the easiest route to 501st status endorses that.

    What about those elbow gaps?
    You guys are ready to fight bit and nails for five small millimeters on brow height but don't give a nickel about 4 inches gap at elbows?!
    Curious priorities in my opinion.
     
    But yeah... body shapes and sizes..... convenient excuse.
     
    How about this one then: disqualify "Master Replica" helmets for basic approval? Haha, nothing ventured, nothing gained!
    Tbh, I think you have a point with highlighting basic approval. Surely this should be the focus, I mean, decal tube stripes, plastic hand guards etc. Let's start new members off on the right track, rather than asking for corrections down the line. This would bring clearance levels across garrisons closer together. No?

    Looking good Sven.
    I think the thighs still need dropping a tad especially as they overlap the butt plate.
    I'd also suggest having a look at the belt, it looks a little off centre which in turn, is not allowing your drop boxes to hang equally beside the thigh covers (if that makes sense?)
    Not long now!

    Okay.... Both addons to the leg parts give me problems, aside from the fracking sniper plate, the ammo belt is a problem.
    In most of the Centurion applications the ammo belt sits like this:

    But if I attach it like this the ends don't end at the same part of the thigh. One side is to short:

    I know it is the inner side of the right thigh but... 
     
    If I attach it like the RS Suit and some other screen references it will work:

    Is this placement acceptable for Centurion or has the middle pack to be centered? 
    Try flipping the ammo belt 180° it may be that you have it upside down. In terms of the sniper plate, glue one side, let it cure for 24 to 48 hours, then do the other and drop a blob of glue in the middle.

    Hmmmmm... With the measurements in the picture I come to a rivet position at the bottom that is roughly 2cm above the bottom ridge. Somewhere else I read that it should be at 1 cm above the ridge. If I use the placement referenced in Marc's Lucas Archives photo will it be Centurion approvable?

    Looking good Mason. A curios question though. When you say "Rigging something to keep the shins riding up." what do you mean? Also it seems your right thigh is high and catching at your butt plate perhaps adjusting it may help in your movement.

    Evening!
    We are going to add elastic straps at the back of the boots to attach to the rear of the calves.
    We have trimmed the rear of the thighs too b0e0ff3082b25cde4532f7c80b41e83d.jpg
