  1. Looks good!! Here are some things that will help your overall look. Your shoulder bells need to be closer to your shoulder straps. In fact, they should almost be touching them. You should pull your forearms closer to your biceps. Either with a strap or installing foam to keep them in place. Your belt should be higher in the front---touching or very close to bottom of ab buttons. That was some of the big things I saw real quick. I'm sure others will chime in. Awesome job!!Good luck, trooper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Great build thread. Sorry for just now catching up. Cover strips measurements are as follows: 15mm for forearms/biceps 20mm for front of legs 25mm for back of legs As stated by Toybiz, the cover strips on the backs can vary build to build depending on your size. But the fronts should be what's listed above. I would trim off more of the return edge on your kidney and ab plate. There is not a specific measurement for return edge, but typically 1/8 inch will do. Most of the builds I have seen, the bottom of the chest plate has the most return edge. But it also depends if you plan on using screen accurate brackets with looped elastic or if you use snaps. If you use screen-accurate brackets, then they get screwed into the return edges of your chest, ab, kidney and buttplate to hold everything together. I'm sure you read that. Also might want to round off the edges on the bottom of the butt plate--the part that will actually go under your butt and snap to crotch (cod). In my experience, you don't want sharp edges there, don't know to explain why! Hope this helps. I will try to keep up with your thread. Keep in mind that more people will help if they see you are taking time to research. Probably won't if you ask bout every single step along the way. But I can tell from your first posts to your later ones that you have researched a good deal. Keep it up. We are here to guide or give second opinion, not explain every step. Doing great! Keep it up!

  4. Oh and I bet no one has noticed that her left shin is sideways with her sniper plate on the outside. I wonder why no one caught that?....perhaps there were other parts of the armor more eye-catching.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. At least he's asking for the armor and not the girl in the armor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Congrats! Seems like Centurion is in the bag with some new photos. It just stinks you have to suit up again to take them! (Sarcasm) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. At least your forearms aren't distracting. I've seen some that look like Popeye! Forgot to mention that I was sad not to see your wedding day photo making it in with the submission photos---pretty awesome stuff! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Frank, way to represent Garrison Tyranus!! Your build looks amazing!! I LOVE your helmet! The painting looks phenomenal and I like that you went with a low brow. Looks menacing! The only other thing I would add to Jason's comments is your forearms look a tad big. May not affect approval, but would definitely improve overall look. Either way, I can't wait to troop with you and see this kit up close! Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Awesome job! Pretty sweet to have 2 EIBs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Awesome build! Although it appears you have made all the changes Steve pointed out in your EIB thread, I concur with Ron above for the overall look to be improved. (Ron, yes you can post here! There aren't any requirements, but you will be centurion soon enough) I would also add that the curve on the thigh ammo pack should be greater. A good guide is to stand the TD up on it and mark the curve with a pencil and then cut. Also your sniper plate could be positioned and the sides cut better so that it really looks seamlessly attached to the top molded edge of the shin. Again, these are cosmetics and may not even affect approval. Overall you are centurion worthy and it will be good to see another NE build make the ranks. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Hey now, don't go crazy and put me in the same category or level as Steve. But I do think it would take a good looking build and make it better. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  13. I mean this respectively and in an unawkward way---you look beautiful!!! It really does look like you have a screen-used suit. I usually like the shinies, but yours looks amazing! Congrats is also in order Centurion #124!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Looking forward to following along and providing help as needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Good plan. You should soak it up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Congrats! Onward toward Centurion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Awesome job! You look fantastic and will look even better with only a few more adjustments! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thanks guys! Means a lot. I have been pouring over many of your threads/posts for months now. Feels great to be among the elites of the elites. Now off to trooping! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
