Hi Tyler, and thank you for your Centurion application! CRL and CENTURION 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. Just one detail here Trooper in case you want to improve your look and have a new painting session . CRL: Fall of tube stripe tops ideally lean toward the front. You can re make the paint job or use some decals. Reference Images Great work Trooper and welcome to Centurion ranks Don't forget to request your Centurion Certificate HERE

Hi Tyler, Sorry for delaying brother but sometimes work and life catch up with you . Your review is almost finished and just need a couple of final details that were missed in the EIB review but noticed this time by the team and will need you to address . 1. Looking closely to your helmet's ear screws type. According to the CRL for L3 they should be "flat topped and countersunk" Reference Images 2- Your E11 Blaster ammo counter is sitting too low (overlapping the folding stock) Last effort trooper, Almost there !

Hi Wil. you're doing a great job and glad to read your goal is Level 3. Looking at your photos I would suggest some fixes to the paint job of your vocoder and the hovi tips mesh . The paint on your vocoder looks pretty good, but it should be more symmetrical and with more definition on the tops of the raised ridges. You will need to round off a bit painting of the ridges as seen in the references. About the Hovi Tips: even though the mesh you used for is wide, the wire is thin and looks a little bent at the edges giving them a curved shape. If you look at the reference images, you will notice that it is firmer, without deforming. A method I have used to replace the Hovi tip's mesh is using a wide mesh strainer , a marker top and white paint. Reference Images Vocoder references Keep up the great work

You can leave 0.75mm of ridge (the cover strip is about 1.5cm) and make the fit adjustment later by trimming the curved side. -

Congratulations Trooper! -
Hi Tyler! Great to see your Centurion submission !. You did a great job with some of the required Centurion fixes, we need you to make and extra final effort so we can place that Centurion Badge under your name. First of all I'll need to add some missing photos according to the Check list like: 9. ___ Thigh ammo pack connections (interior and exterior, left and right sides) 10. ___ Sniper knee plate (left and right sides) 11. ___ Wrist openings 12. ___ Abdomen button plates (close-up) 18. ___ Close-up of Hovi tips 20. ___ Ear screws (close up, left, right and bottom). 25. ___ Boots (tops and sides) By the other hand, as it has been noted by fellow troopers Caleb and Glen, there are some issues that need to be fixed : 1- Helmet rear traps lines This is a suggestion in case you would want to improve a little more your helmet. Is and easy and quick fix , just adding a half centimeter of gray paint to the upper section of the taps. BEFORE AFTER REFERENCE 2-Shoulder Bridges and White elastic. CRL L3: These shall be glued in front. The plastic shoulder straps need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric that connects/bridges the chest and back piece. I'll need a close photo of the front section of the shoulder bridges showing they're glued and not velcroed. and move the white elastic to the rear section. 3- Ab-Kidney Connection: Your armor shows a little overlap in the right side and a noticeable gap in the left one. CRL L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. A single visible seam line is present. 4- ABS Ammo Blet position: This was a Centurion requirement from your EIB review. CRL L3: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Finally: As you rightly noted , the resolution can be improved so we can see more in detail. Remember that Centurion is our top level and the more scrutinize Glen's Note Also your full body images are quite small in resolution 435 x 580, makes it hard to magnify to see some details Photo Guidelines Size: Photo size larger than 800x600 (preferably 1280 x 960) to allow the DO to see your armor's details. 1024x768 Almost there Trooper !!
