Indeed, As correctly Glen stated "it's not a requirement just a suggestion" as it's not exactly detailed in the CRL for level 3, but CRL States for Centurion level : Ideally, placement of ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the trap above them Honestly, you're almost perfect, if you can do de last adjustment it will be Great, but you can leave it as it.

This is a common issue, in my case what worked for me was to put a piece of velcro into the shin and in front side of the boot to keep the aligment.

Tutorial Video OR If you want to buy accurate ones

I think you could apply the hot water to the curved area and not where the cover strip is. one side at a time. You could try with a scarp plastic strip first

Perhaps It may be the side shape, I mean one could be more concave or rounded than the other. If you can check it out and if so, a hot water bath could do the trick to fix the shape.

Congratulations Trooper ! Well deserved !

Welcome to FISD Jean .

Welcome to FISD Trooper, nice video !

Hi CArter. About Your questions First, I want to make sure that my lack of return edges on the arms are ok. I believe they are, but I always have my doubts R/ They're ok Second, the purple tape on the pieces marks 15mm, the full width of the cover strips for the arms. I do know that I’ll need to reduce that by 50% on either side, but I wanted to leave some extra room. Third, is a question regarding the biceps. As I’ve mentioned, I’m aiming for centurion, and I wanted to know if it is allowable to keep some of the flat bicep edge visible beyond the cover strip? My last kit, I didn’t leave any extra flat area, and the pieces were too small. My biceps are slightly larger, and I don’t know the best way to remedy that. If you need a little more room, I would recommend to use 15 mm to the front and the same for the flat section (which is not seen) and use a 17-18 mm cover strip but for the back section's cover strips and a little of the flat section (ridge) of the biceps . NOTE: If you can post a picture of a mock up before gluing , use the tape as Gerald suggested above " you can now tape the 2 halves together and figure out the fit"(Don't need to trim yet) so we can guide you. Fourth, I have not cut out the hand pieces, as I plan on purchasing rubber ones. Great you can contact @justjoseph63 for silicon hand plates. Lastly, I want to make sure that 15mm is indeed the correct width for the arm strips? I cut one strip out, and triple check that it is 15mm, and it seems small. That being said, it’s very possible that I’m delusional lol As a general rule we use 15 mm for biceps and forearms but but 1 to 2 mm more are allowable depending on the case. Reference Images

There's always chance for one more

And you can continue with every single Photo, detail and fix etc etc etc

Congrats for your BBB day Carter !

Congratulations Trooper! welcome to the first station EIB, just few adjustments to the finish line Centurion !

Welcome aboard Dallas !! Remember , measure twice, cut and glue just once. !

Everything looks awesome!!!

Exactly they aren't centered , far from back, near to top.

An additional resource

looking good Chris, additionally, I would suggest to trim a little more the edges to match better the corners. and consider carefully the rivets positioning and the not perfect curved ends as well. Some references
