Yes, there's a limit on how much MB you can upload directly on the FISD. Just use an external Host like photbucket, flickr, etc and then link the pic here. There's a tutoriel on how to do that here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/5-howto-post-images-on-the-forums/

Good retrieval on the ears! And the SKP looks good. Keep on like that

If you weight 150lbs you won't need side shims unless all you lbs are located around your waist! On the contrary, the sides might overlap each other but it's not an issue. I'm sure the armor will fit you , even if as you won't build it, it certainly won't be perfect. And you can still look at the EIB and Centurion applications to see the fit of the RS on different people. In general, they all give their height and weight.

You will need the screw tips in order to mount the flat lenses (Unless you plan to make individual lense ).

Don't be worry, they will pass easily!! just remember to paint the screws, i can see on the 2nd pic they're not painted yet

Yes they need to be relocated at the upper corners on both sides for Centurion.

To me, the left one sits higher than the right one (left and right are reversed on front pics). But as Nick says to improve the fit of the left ear you could try to lower it down a bit. I think it should solve this side. The right ear is good as it is right now. Perhaps to close the front gap you could try to tighten the bottom screw more, or drill a new hole closer to the neck opening.

Good job, maybe the nicer NE i've seen so far! On a couple of things you could improve: - i'd trim the bottom of the right side on the ab plate. On your pic there's a piece of ABS pointing out, i don't know what it is but i would cut it. - As Glen said, shorten the strap between your shoulder bells and shoulder bridges and the shoulder gap should become closer. - Even basic approvals need handguards Then, things which would ask more work: - I would resize you right biceps in particular. (see on your right side arms raised pic how much room you got right now) - And reduce the elbow gap. it's better to have a wrist gap than an elbow gap. To do so, you can add strapping between the biceps and the forearms: And if the strapping isn't enought, instead of fitting the biceps inside the shoulder bells, you can place them one on the other:

I would say it's more your biceps being too high than your forearms sitting too low. For the butt plate i guess you could leave it like that, or use boiling water to slightly reshape it, or even use white duct tape like the trooper on the left

I love the texture on the blaster, fantastic!! And the rest is gorgeous too of course

I would say wait for the helmet to be fully assembled before trimming the neck opening. This way you can remove only what you need to slip your head through and have a tighter fit around the neck. Don't worry about the ABS flash, it will be hidden by the neck trim.

Just paint the black around the lettering with a pencil. Don't use the tip of the brush but rather the beginning of the body, and hold it almost horizontally from the surface, then gently caresse the surface. If you haven't put too much paint on your pencil and haven't been too heavy with the hand, the paint shouldn't go into the indentations. It might takes a bit of practise to master it though. You can also just drybrush the lettering with black, easy and efficient!

Also, i don't know if you are aware of but AM chest and Back plates are no longer allowed for Centurion, nor FX armors. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25731-expert-infantry-and-centurion-crl-changes/#entry324674

Here's a picture from Leo/RampantLion's build thread: https://sphotos-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1185358_10152185032805031_1833791179_n.jpg He faced the same problem but he went with narrower cover strips and I'm sorry but to me it looks better. And of course, resizing the thighs cover strips would imply to resize the calves cover strips too. Ungluing e6000 and resizing the covers strips mean some work but it's a fairly easy job in the end

Impressive, i didn't expect to see one finished one day ^^! Congratulations I just remember few things i learnt when i translated the CRLs: - shouldn't the painting at the rear of the helmet end in a -H shape? - And also i think there shoulnd't be any black straps wrapped around the biceps. Anyway, good luck with your approval

Make it on the inside. There's a good tutorial about how to do it on this thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21390-geaux-saints-anh-stunt-build-tm/page-7

It should do the job for basic approval but i would try to fix your elbow gap before submitting for EIB. it's better to have a wrist gap than an elbow gap. To do so, you can add strapping between the biceps and the forearms: Or and instead of fitting the biceps inside the shoulder bells, you can place them one on the other: Also, it would be good if you could close your shoulder bells more in the front. The closer, the better !

Nice work on the ears! They look nicely fitted!

I hope i won't sound to rough but i think there are many things to fix in order to be approved: - Your elbow gap needs to be reduced. If you add strapping between your forearms and your biceps it will solve the problem and also prevent your forearms from twisting too much outwards. - Also, the gap between your kydney and back plate looks too wide. I think if you lower your back plate by lengthening your shoulder straps and also shorthening the strapping between the back and the kydney plate it should close the gap. - Your ammo knee belt is rightly set but the rivets going through the upper corners are missing. i think you'll need to add them, even if they aren't functionnal. Just don't use pop rivets for that. - Your left shin seems to close the wrong side. The inner half covers the outer half whereas it should be the opposite. However i read here from Gino, about the eFX armor, that the original Hero armor they had was assembled this way, so maybe Hero builds will be allowed to close them like that. - Are your thighs overlapped in the back? Because the overlapping technique has been forbidden for Centurion. However as it's just been announced today so perhaps the DO will make an exception for you - Are the inner drop boxes complete? Because flat covers are no longer allowed. Once again it's just been announced today so perhaps the DO will make an exception for you. - Your side rivets aren't really evenly spaced along the side nor facing each other. - Your side shims might need some camouflage too to be less noticeable. - Your biceps look really wide on you. Would be a good thing to resize them a bit. And you need to post a pic of the crotch rivet and forearms wrist return edges. Nothing impossible to fix so keep it up! Good luck !!

It's good to hear and see things moving! Good job to everyone who have been involved in that I will gladly start the french translations as soon as possible for my garrison, so if you need them Eric just PM me

That looks good! Well done! Perhaps you could just bring the abdominal/kydney section a bit down. It would solve your kydney overlapping back problem and reduce a bit your thighs gap at the top.

Good retrieval on your your helmet, good job!! However you got too much return edge on the wrist ends of your forearms. There shouldn't be any: Easier fix than the faceplate though

Looks very good, why worry?

In fact, RS is already providing his kit. I know they've supplied some and i think they're still doing it.
