Good eye, Ryan! The right side needs of the canvas belt needs to be lowered a bit.
Heh, been having trouble with my image hosting sites. Thank you for making a clearer pic!

Since you're aiming for centurion, there is an alignment issue i noticed with your belt. The ends of the ABS should line up with the edges of the canvas.
Its a small issue, but it was a little something that i missed on my armor and held up my centurion approval.

Congratulations on receiving your armor! Hopefully you can get out with us next weekend for the Strong Museum troop!

Probably going to keep this at level 1 depending on how much upgrades are... I have a lot invested in two Vaders and wanted a cheaper, and less stressful, build.
I have a feeling we can get to level 2

Alright folks, perfection achieved! This should do it. Tidied up the right and left side.

sorry for not picking this up earlier.
Its all good! Theres a lot to look over. I did use CA glue, but only used little dabs in the corners, so gently sliding a utility blade under there and using a little patience i was able to pop it off.
This looks a bit better. Would afixing the belt in this position pass me for centurion? Just want to make sure before I commit to it.

Hey Ryan
Almost there, but could you post a straight on shot on the left side ammo belt? It could be the angle or you need to do some trimming on the plastic portion as the angled 45 cut should meet the ends of the cloth belt - thanks
uh-oh....I may have to do some minor surgery on this one
Looks like ill have to re-position it on the canvas.

RIGHT?!?!? I was very surprised.

ALRIGHT FOLKS! Took me a hot second but found some nice Nike "under armor" and it really helped bring those shoulder bells closer to my chest. Also took care of the major oversight of those shoulder bridges.

Hi again Ryan - you have a great looking kit but we do have some requests before we can issue that Centurion Award.
1# The shoulders need to be closer to the chest and there could be several things preventing that as they look to be rotated towards the back and the undersuit seem to be interfering as well. Some tweeking and a new pic should have this sorted.
2# A simple fix but an important one for the highest level - keeping the shoulder bridges at equal lenght.
Those shoulder gaps have been bothering me for quite a while. I believe you are correct about the undersuit, it is a lycra material and does bunch up in that area. AND I HATE IT! I'll try to get something thinner. And the shoulder bridge is an easy fix as well.
I'll get working on those changes asap! Thank you!
