I suggest removing one of the mounts. Use a butter knife to slide underneath the entire mount and remove. Once removed inspect the metal for any corrosive breakdown. The glue doesn't have to be in direct contact to effect it. As wonderfully designed as your plates are you also created a pocket where glue vapors can collect. If indeed the metal is reacting to the glue then you have to make a decision. First I suggest removing a plate and post a photo for us to see. While on the topic, NOT all snaps are created equal. Some corrode easy some do not. I personally use military grade for several reasons, corrosive protection being one of them. If you find snaps corroding then you may need to switch manufacturers.

haha, yea FYI we would never make you pull out a ruler however, since you did I couldn't help myself.

You're 1mm off. JK , looks beautiful

Though Dan has helped you out already, you can also go to the top of this page and select "Gallery"

Return edge gives the armor the illusion of thickness. If you're a larger person the less return edge is needed and sometime required. The amount of return edge you remove on the elbow side is a matter of preference, there is no standard. What Paul mention is a good rule of thumb. It really depends on your body type. I just finished a full set of armor today for a fellow garrison member who's very thin, leaving some of the return edge on the elbow side really helped him. As for the wrist side, no return edge period especially if shooting for the higher levels of accuracy.

Looking good. Good suggestion is to wrap those magnets in tape, I use painters tape. Less likely to crack or chip. That said I don't always do this, as seen in my build threads but for safety I recommend it to others.

Or use a canon photo/s, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Hey Andrew, thanks for your patience. Sly or myself will be with you shortly

Alright Tom, thanks for your patience. Thank you for your Centurion application. Let's get you approved. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present.

Congratulations and welcome to Centurion Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: If we had any suggestions here it would maybe to weather your blaster a bit, it's too perfect . Beautiful work on your armor build Time to get out there and make the Empire and Vader proud.

Roughly 1/4". If you plan shooting for the Centurion accuracy then put it back in the bag lol

Excellent news. Welcome to the family

Thanks, not at home at the moment to take that measurement. I'll make the change on my build thread also .

Thanks for your patience Tom we'll be with you momentarily.

I also suggest you head over to home depot and pick up a pack of plastic clamps. I have about 3 set of these, shown in my build. Life saver https://www.homedepot.com/p/Spring-Clamp-Set-22-Piece-TGS0073F/203404716

I used the Anovos supplied which I believe was 3/4", I could be wrong, will have to double check. Thanks for mentioning it. 1" will do just fine though.

It doesn't matter

Ah! burning the midnight oil memories lol. Just be careful, sometimes this is when mistakes happen also.

Sorry for the late, early to bed last night. 1/2" or 5/8" x 1/8" thick rare earth magnets. Most have the same strength rating. The larger the higher the strength obviously. https://www.ebay.com/itm/50-Large-1-2-x-1-8-inch-Neodymium-Disc-Magnets-Super-Strong-Rare-Earth-Magnet/251665625934?epid=807187938&hash=item3a9870b34e:g:R5MAAOSwv9hW6aCf Ahhh the smell of new plastic, very cool. Advice? Read, Read, Read. Visit the build threads section and check out more than just my build. Different strokes for different folks . Start your own build thread where experts can chime in with advice and others can follow along with you. Follow safety guidelines noted on page one Remember to "measure twice, cut once". Many other are here to help and chime in, even on this thread here.

Congratulations Sean

Hey Ralf Happy New year and thank you for your EI application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. Beautiful job on your TM build . Your armor meets all EIB requirements, Andrew and myself are delighted to welcome you to Expert Infantry. Congratulations Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor and accuracy. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. Again, these are suggestions and recommendations. The accuracy is ultimately up to you. Starting from the shoulders, bell gap. There should be minimal gap between the shoulder bells and chest/back plates. Were suggesting you can to bring these in as close as possible. Tightening the straps and removing any lower return edge tends to help the most. Reference phoito Next up Kidney to Ab gap. Not a huge deal here but there should be very little to no gap between the armor sections. Your's isn't too bad but worth mentioning none the less. Reference photo And finally another minor area but worth mentioning is the center Ab plate lowest button is considerably larger than the rest. It should be slightly larger, maybe 1mm larger. Take a look a the reference photo provided. Reference photo Centurion Suggestions: Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. We are pleased to say we have nothing to add here at this time.

Didn't know TM and mini armor NICE! WTF is another choice as mentioned already.

Not to get off topic but after looking at the TFA and TLJ TDs the only difference I see is the TLJ left cap is all black instead of white with black gaffers tape as seen on the TFA version. The simple fix at least with the Anovos armor is to paint it black or cover it with a black cap. Long story short whoever the armor is purchased from make sure the TD is correctly made TFA or TLJ.
