The center one is glistening lol. I'm calling advertising artwork add

The trooper with the black capped TD also has the black shoulder bells, executioner?

Love it! welcome back lol

Will it melt or warp the ABS?

Very nice, could you post a link so we can take a look at it.

Hey James Andrew or myself will be with you shortly.

Hey David, Andrew or myself will be with you shortly. While your waiting could you please remove the paint for the right Ab male snap base and post another photo. We also need photos of all 4 helmet sides and the lens color. Thank you Edit: We also need photos of the inside strapping, inner and outer waist belt connections (laid out flat) and finally of the Vcoder/Hovi tips or lower front helmet close up.

Hey Darren, Andrew or myself will be with you shortly.

I would try to curve them, even ever so slightly. Personally I'd check with your GML and see what he says.

The only logical reason to trim the length is if your arms were not long enough and maybe for comfort. Trimming the wrist side to even out both inner and outer halves is another. Edit: Trimming the wrist side to remove the return edge is also mandatory for Centurion.

Looking nice Shelby, I wouldn't worry about it too much. In the grand scheme of things it's a minimal issue that is very common as you've discovered. Add foam as suggested earlier and you'll do fine. Keep up the good work.

We're glad you pushed on also. Always great to see troopers put in the extra effort to make the higher levels of accuracy

We have a few areas to go over here so get to it. Starting at the top and working our way down your helmet has a few areas we'd like to talk about. The black paint outlining the traps and rank stripes could stand to be touched up. The tube strips and Vcoder also need a little TLC to clean up the lines, all illustrated below. Reference photo/s Hovi tips look incorrect. Eiher the Hovis are either incorrect or assembled incorrectly. The screen should be near the tip of the Hovi, your's look recessed quite a bit. We're recommending you repair or replace them. Reference photo Next is the shoulder ball gap. There should be minimal gap between the shoulder bells and chest/back plates. Definitely recommend tightening the top strap. Reference phoito Calf opening. It might be a good idea to reshape the closure area so that the two halves are parallel. The current angle makes it's difficult to close and keep closed. Thank you for providing the cloth belt measurements as requested. Upon further review the ammo belt appears too wide. We're suggesting you remove all but roughly 1/8" of the upper and lower return edge just outside of the ammo boxes. Take a look at the reference photo, there should be minimal material in this area. Reference photo Another minor issue is the TD screws should be flat head type. Though this won't affect any levels of approval we're recommending you replace them with the correct screws when convenient. Reference photo Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here.

Tightening the upper connecting straps should draw them in closer to the shoulder covers reducing the gap. Here's a reference photo to give you an idea of what we're looking for. Back plate to kidney plate gap. There should be little to no gap here also. A strap adjustment may be in order here. Reference photo Finally, a very minor issue but worth mentioning is the sniper knee lower edge, left side should technically follow the contour of the armor itself, similar to the right side. A minor trim should do the trick. Reference photo Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here.

Hope to see you at Centurion.

Maybe the elastic should be replaced with nylon webbing, less give.

Thanks for removing the ab snap paint and updating all the photos As for the Ab to Kidney gap unfortunately you're going to have to do a bit more work, there's still too much gap especially on the left side. The EIB requirements and CRL are very clear regarding this area. This is what we want to see. Here's a few of your fellow troopers who recently received their EI badge:

Reference photo Another area mention by one of you fellow troopers is your sniper knee. If you can remove it without damaging it we suggest you position it so that it runs parallel with the shin itself. This doesn't have to be perfect we're just concerned may dig into your knee cap while trooping. Reference photo A minor repair would be to ensure the forearm to bicep gap should be equal.
