I have attached some pics of my shoulder straps, and I am approved at EIB as of now, few small touch ups to get to Centurion, but that's not the point. I was only able to attach the large tab and about half of one of the small ones due to the odd shape of the ATA chest plate and still made it to the higher levels. Correct me if I am wrong, but its more about fit and being proportionate to accuracy: I left the back tabs on as the ATA straps are shorter than some of the other makers are so definitely test fit before you make any cuts. It's much easier to cut something off than to put it back on, however not impossible to fix, it just sucks. Hope this helps!

Hey Marc, great seeing you over here. Tons and tons of great people and build threads are available for you. Look at all of the pinned threads located here https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/38-getting-started-read-this-first/ Feel free to PM me if there are any questions!

First off, excellent build! A few small suggestions that I have would be make sure that your chest plate overlaps the ab plate. Make the shoulder straps a bit longer. Your back plate should be just barely touching the top of the kidney plate. Another thing is that the brow rubber needs to extend to the end of the trap. Another thing would be to raise your belt higher so I just touches or overlaps the ab button plate Last thing would be for higher levels (doable and recommended), the drop boxes need to line up with the outside of the plastic belt Here is mine for reference Other than that, great build and good luck with approval!

Congratulations man! ATA is an excellent kit, that is the set that I have. Has great potential. Be sure to post pics and ask a lot of questions! Good Luck and have fun!!

Done!! I'll fill it with some spot putty eventually to comply with Centurion regs

Here are the requested corrections: 1. Fixed TD and used correct screws 2. Corrected rivet placement on ammo belt 3. Used correct screws on belt

Fixed the belt and bucket black stripes:

Congratulations! Been following your build for a bit. Good luck on your approval pics. Looks great!

The best thing to do in this case is a hot water bath and carefully mold the calf armor closed and the Velcro is less likely to pull apart. Check out this thread and ask questions before doing anything. If you close that gap at the top of the calf armor, you should be golden.

No problem! That's what we are here for. Looking at the CRL again, it says "Mesh may be used behind the frown to obscure the face of the wearer.", so it looks like it is not required for basic, but it will definitely enhance your kit. I would be more than happy to help you out with the straps if you'd like, just PM me.

It looks great. Few things I would like to address: Make sure the sniper knee sits on the outside of the thigh armor. Most likely a fitting issue. You could also add some upholstery foam behind the sniper plate. Does your helmet teeth have mesh behind it? There should be a black elastic band the wraps the inside of the shoulder bells around the bicep and the biceps need to sit just a little bit higher. As well as the forearms can sit a little higher so they don't overlap the hand plates. Looks excellent for basic and could go higher with jut a few tweaks on the straps.

Great work so far mate. Lookin good. To answer your question, my understanding is that the cover strips don't necessarily have to track down the middle but the strips on the thighs need to line up with the coverstrips on the shins. The reference photo on the CRL on the website shows the thighs slightly off center, but perfectly lined up with the shins. Keep up the good work!
