Welcome to the FISD Java! Great score on the armor. It's always good to sign up with your local garrison. I like the instruction boik you made! I'm sure Tony will get a kick out of it. Now the advice I give is my opinion, not anything else. It's really up to your GML and Tony and Andrews call. The pieces you suggested for trimming return edge is fine. Maybe it was a misinterpretation thinking all return edges can go. The core of the armor has return edges where the limbs have little to no return edge in spots. Usually trimming tops of thighs and bottom of shins for sizing. The return edge is totally removed around wrist area. When in doubt check out some Anovos Centurion application's for reference. I believe you'll be ok for basic approval with the side gaps. The drive to wear armor is a great motivator for losing weight. So keep at it and those gaps will get a little smaller. For the 30mm coverstrip question, I think it would be great for all of us if you gave us some front and back mock up photos so we can see. Blue tape them on and post some shots and we'll see. Again welcome Java! Best of Luck Future Trooper!

Hey Peter, When I saw the pictures the first-time it seemed like your left thigh was even bigger then your right. If you look at shin to thigh area they need to almost be the same width to make the look of a joint. I would suggest tapering the backs in on shins, if you can. And then taper thigh to that width if that makes sense to you. Don't taper to much, it would look funny. Plus you could work on height of thighs after as Sarah has suggested. Love the pack Future HWT Brother!

Congratulations Paul! I'm sure it's going to be a great year. And Thank You Tim for leading us through a great year.

Looking good Jim! Just one thing. Your drop boxes are out to far. They should line up with the edge of plastic belt. The gap between them looks perfect. Easy fix. So we should see some pictures of you in it soon the way it looks.

Your getting there "Steve" Keep up the good work Kevin!

Looking good Preston! You got this! Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk

Good Luck Christoph! Looking Good!

Congratulations Christopher!

Looks good Jim! Don't let your wife catch you in it again! JK. Congratulations to your wife!

Looking good David! As mentioned bring them shoulder bells in. You got this. Best of luck and hope to see you at Centurion in the future!

Wow! You got a lot done. You'll be Trooping before you know it. Keep up the good work. And those tips are great for newbies following along.

Looking good Sarah!

Welcome to the Ranks David!

Great looking build Scott! The Hovi tips "tip" is correct for EIB. Plus the right mesh and painted white will finish that nice bucket you have there. You did great lifting the belt and still hide the shim. Well done!

Congratulations Angie!

That is so cool Allan! I want a Lego HWT now!

Looking good! I started out like you did with cod separate but eventually Velcro'd the ab and cod together. It didn't sit right with belt when I walked. But you might have better luck then I did. Keep up the good work!

Looking sharp John! Good Luck on approval!

I'm with Mark on this one. The clangs, the waiting, the blast door exploding with sparks and Boom! TK's come through and I was hooked!

Congratulations Douglas!

Sounds like your on the right track Amber. Best of luck with your adventure!

Congratulations Jorge! Now let's go fatten you up and push that ab out! Another EIB representing the NEG! Looking foward to seeing your Centurion application soon. Now you can proudly put that sticker on your case I gave you. If you haven't already!

Cool! We have a P. Bruins 3 day weekend troop coming up in March. I'll look to see what events you signed up for. We'll get you in armor sooner then later! Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk
