Alright thank you Mario, that is what I needed to know.

I am the GML for my garrison so I'm hoping the DO's can help answer this for Basic approvals, Do the large tabs need to be present on the front of the shoulder straps? CRL only specifies the tabs on the back as optional. With text and reference images being used as judging criteria but not always matching each other, it creates too much ambiguity on some costumes.

Hi Dan, and thank you for your CENTURION application!
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of CENTURION. Congratulations!
Other-Armor Fit/Assembly;
In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.
You did a fantactic job on this second version sir. Well done!
I'm just adding the note from Joseph
" Ideally the top of the cannister should be lined up with the top of the canvas belt (see reference pics) and the top of the clips should be barely visible from the rear. The TD from your last submission (3rd pic below) looks great!
Note how the bend in clips on the screen used TD (4th pic) don't even reach the height of the top of the cannister."
Congratulations and welcome to the Centurion ranks once again!!
Thank you for the approval! I’m very happy with how this kit turned out.

Looking sharp, Dan! Seriously GREAT job on this build, brother.. always a pleasure seeing someone who has gone above and beyond with tons of details. Well done!
If I could offer up a suggestion (not a big deal, btw) it would be:
Your bucket seems to be riding a bit high, and I think padding may be the issue. If you can see clearly, no biggie, but if you find yourself tilting your helmet forward to see better you may want to either remove or reduce the padding in the top. I had this issue, so now I only have pads on the sides/rear so that it sits much lower and my bucket moves when I turn my head.
Note how the bottom of the helmets sit lower and cover the neck opening in front.
Just a heads-up here.. the D.O.s may ask you to raise your TD and bring it in closer. Ideally the top of the cannister should be lined up with the top of the canvas belt (see reference pics) and the top of the clips should be barely visible from the rear. The TD from your last submission (3rd pic below) looks great!
Note how the bend in clips on the screen used TD (4th pic) don't even reach the height of the top of the cannister.
Other than that, I think you have it nailed. Again, dynamite job in this armor, Dan, and I'm sure you will have that next approval soon!
Thanks Joseph! I can absolutely remove the padding in the helmet to sit lower. I remember you saying this on my first Centurion app. However I will say that I didn’t not put very much in this time because I knew of the issue in the past, and from my costuming experience I believe I have a really long neck lol. My TD clips were from ukswrath, unmodified, but if needed I can adjust them. We’ll see what the DO’s say but thanks again for your comments.

Starting from top.
The screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. The right one looks great and the left one could be improved a little.
Reference Images
Your small ab buttons plate could be trimmed a little more for accuracy
Reference Images
Your TD is sitting quite high (minimal but we noted as suggestion), so you might see if you can push it down further, or possibly 'unroll' the clips so it sits lower.
***************************************************
Centurion Requirements:
In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.
CRL: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin.
As you can see bellow , your sniper knee is riding a little lower and the top of the shin can be seen . If you used E6000 tu fix the Sniper Knee , it would be easy to fix the position.
Reference Images
And that's all Trooper!
Congratulations for reaching EIB with this new version of your armor.!!! looking for your Centurion Submission soon Sir.
Mario, thank you very much! And I appreciate your suggestions. For now I am going to leave my left ear as is. I don't think there will be enough plastic left underneath if I adjust it. If it poses a problem for Centurion we can discuss it. Ab buttons, easy fix. Much easier than my first go around
TD clips I will see if I can unroll a bit. These were from Tony, ukswrath, for your reference.
Question for my sniper knee because this was something I wondered about when I was building it, It is sitting flat on my shin currently, if I adjust to be in line with the ridges then it won't be sitting flat anymore. Is that how it should be then? As long as it is in line with the ridges? It is hard to tell from reference pics and not the same mold as my previous kit so this is somewhat new to me.
Thank you for your comments. You should expect my Centurion submission soon

Hi Dan, I'm working on your review now and would need you to add an additional photo please. Don't need to suit up your armor.
AB/Kidney connection left side showing the 3 rivets alignment. something like bellow sample. Thank you
You got it, here you go. Thanks for letting me know.

First, I appreciate your patience, brother. Mostly, though, GREAT job on those fixes from your EI submssion!
If I could add one final suggestion it would be to try to get a better arc on your shoulder straps with a hot water bath. Doing this would allow them to ride closer to the back plate so they won't protrude out as much, put less strain on the thin elastic strap and allow you to remove the large tabs on the rear sections (the large tabs were not present in the films).
Reference images
Again, a big CONGRATS sir, so now it's time to get out and show off that armor as the Midwest Garrison's newest Centurion!
Joseph, Thank You!! I'm very proud about this. Thanks for taking the time to review. I will be taking a look at those shoulder straps again. I had given them a bath when I first built it but probably wasn't enough.
Thank you!
