  1. Hi everyone! Thanks for the feedback! I'm currently modifying my armor to correct the issues stated! I'll have new photos up soon!
  2. Thomas Hagin TK-61601 Florida Garrison Everglades Squad Required Armor = Armor Master Helmet= Armor Master Blaster= Praetorian Blasters Optional Boots = Imperial Boots Canvas belt = TKittell Hand Plates = Joesph Neck Seal = Darman Holster = Darman Note: I am aware of the fitting issues at the moment. Mainly the overlap of the back plate and how the posterior plate pops out. I'm also going make mobility cuts. am currently working on fixing them. From what I've read this should affect my EIB application since its classified as fitting. This is my first hard armor costume, so I except I'll have to fix a few things. Thanks in advance! Front Back Left Side Right Side Action Shot Belt Front Belt Back Belt Note: My belt has two snaps on each side, I had to add two new snaps to make sure the belt sits right on my armor. The originals didn't. The new snaps have black dots next to them. Thermal Detonator Screws Det Note: The clips were too long, so I had to trim them. Also these screws are from Joseph's screw kit. Cod and Posterior Plate Attachment Note: The posterior plate has a crack in it, it is not visible when armor is worn.

  3. Thanks guys! But it's not over yet! Still need to make some modifications to get EIB and Cen. Off topic for this post but I noticed some tks cut v shapes into the back of their calves to improve mobility. If I were to do this would it affect l2 or l3 approval? Thanks!
  4. I just got approved! Here are my approval photos:

  6. I'll get those photos soon. In my original side photos my arms were covering the backplate
  7. Hi, my body armor is done, I'm almost ready to take approval photos in fact. But I had a question. Currently my backplate overlaps the kidney plate for two reasons. First it overlaps in the CRL. Second my backplate has a curve that makes it impossible for it to sit flush against the kidney plate. So my question is is overlap ok for EIB and Centurion. I know is ok for basic. Thanks!
  8. So basically after I added my Ab snaps to my belt, I accidentally proceeded to put my holster and drop boxes upside down. The only way to fix it is to add new Ab snaps, but if i hammer to hard ill crack the belt. I cant take the belt off because it's riveted. Worst case scenario I have to buy a snap tool. Any suggestions? The yellow is where the new snap needs to go. Thanks!
  9. Just realized sister is great at painting! She's killing it! Thanks everyone!
  10. Does anyone one have any tips on painting round ab buttons? I've tried twice now and I cant seem to get it right. I'm aiming for centurion. I'm using UKS AM and Anovos build threads as reference. My kit is AM. Thanks!
  11. This is how they came, In person my trimming is a bit uneven. I was wondering if that would effect Basic, EIB or Cen Approval. I have an extra set if I need to redo them. Also willing to buy a pretrimed pair if someone sells them like that.
  12. It may be the photo but I have the big tab.
  13. Hi did I trim these down too much? I'm aiming for centurion. Thanks!
  14. Two questions: -Did I space these out to much? Does spacing matter or do they just have to be present? -Is the male end supposed to be showing? Aiming for centurion. Thanks! Tom
  15. Hi, my kidney armor does not have notches so its hard to tell which side is up. So two questions. -Should I add the notches? I know they are not required, even for level 3. -Which side is up? I added a yellow line to show off the curve. My kit is AM and I'm going for centurion. Thanks!
  16. Hi everyone! Im working on my thermal det for my ANH STUNT Build. I have a size question. I making the armor to centurion specs. Currently the gap between my caps and plate is a quater of an inch. Is that an acceptable size for centurion? thanks! PS the det still needs to be cleaned a bit.
  17. Definitely will be keeping an eye out for updates on this!
  18. Just fitted for the first time today! My squad is having an armor party on the 26th. I'll probably start building then.
  19. Hey everyone! This is my first hard armor build! I'm looking for support. Thanks!
