Hey Ben, It looks like everything is going with the wind in its sails. Great work. If I can make a suggestion. It could be the photo angle but you may want to check for the Ammo counter position, in the photo appears to be a little forward and as you can see in the reference image it should be back. Reference images keep up the good work.

Great work Cory. Much better.

Hi, you may want to check at the kraytclan detachment forum https://www.kraytclan.net/forum/ and the CRL costumes they have. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Kraytclan_CRL Good luck with your project.

Hi Cory, You have done a really really great effort with this "painting job" and I think you're almost in the right point. As you can see bellow, I marked with yellow arrows the buttons with a great finish. If you can achieve something similar with the remaining ones you will be ready brother. I'm not the paint expert but some tip I have seen here and by browsing the web is to sand a bit the bumpy surface with a 600 grit then 1000 or 1200 grit. May be you can make a test with one button first little by little to avoid removing the paint . Keep it up Trooper !

Hi Ardeshir, 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. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. We noticed that you included photos of your upgraded F11D blaster. Since this weapon is considered an accessory, we think it should not block your new centurion badge. But we know you are a perfectionist, so, we would suggest changing out 2 items: -The picatinny rail is a bit long, should only have 2 raised sections (ribs) in the center and the holes are close to the ends as seen in the reference images below. Reference images -The D-ring you presently have is an actual D-shape as opposed to a more square shape. Reference images That's all sir and congratulations again for another well deserved Centurion Badge

Hi and welcome back Trooper !!

Hello, welcome to FISD . good look with your project and looking forward for your build !

Hey Ardeshir ! great to see you're back for Centurion !!

Good luck Chuck, looking forward for your advances !

Hi Shayan, Welcome to FISD and glad to read you're on your way of becoming an imperial Stormtrooper ! About your questions, what I can suggest and help. Considering the lineage of the RS armor, I feel like it would be worth a shot and build this to Level 3 specs. Do you think this is a reasonable thing to seek out for a first timer (on armor)? Definitely YES , it's better to aim for L3 from the start. We are here to help you . I'm handy with a dremel and such, but I am worried about certain stepping stones just making it impractical for a first try. - RS have a series of armor build tutorials on YouTube. Would these be adequate when aiming for a Level 3 build? All resources are good, you can learn from everything on hand (videos, Building threads here and direct tips from others also here) I would recommend to check this useful index of resources HERE and especially when aiming for L3 check the GALLERY SECTION and ask every questions before CUT or GLUE to receive feedback - Can internal parts of the costume be changed and a Lvl 3 spec still achieved? I'm thinking of for example adding white velcro inside the calves instead of the hook system, as it seems sturdier to me. Yes , some internal changes are allowed and still achieve Level 3 , Check and ask first to be sure. Once your kit arrives, I strongly recommend to open a Building Thread HERE , post tons of photos to ensure you will receive better help, feedback and tips to accomplish your goal. Good luck and looking forward for your BBB day photos!

looking nice Trooper!

Hi Chris, and thank you for your EIB 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 Expert Infantry. 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. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Looking at your thighs section Trooper ,we have a small dressing/ shaping issue. 1st a little even out to the fronts of the thighs, as the gaps are pretty uneven. we would recommend lowering the right one . Turning around, it looks like they are sticking very close to your butt plate and this could make you suffer some armor bites when walking. We suggest to check out the strapping or consider to trim a little the back upper section of your thighs Reference Images Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion 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 see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. First in this section . Even though you have take it in account since your building thread, and probably they moved when you have taken the photos, you drop boxes need a final adjustment to be in the right place. (a dab of glue is usually the solution) CRL: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Reference Images As seen in the reference images below, the plate on your TD needs to come down in the back. The ribbed area should face toward the rear, with the O ring on or near the top. Reference Images And the last detail is on your blaster ammo counter. it looks like it's located a little back and will need to move forward a bit. Reference Images  Congratulations Trooper and looking forward for your Centurion Submission. Well Done !!

Congratulations Trooper!! Welcome to the ranks!!
