Hi Bryan!
Your armor looks great.
In addition to what Glen has pointed out, I would rotate the TD a bit. One of the latest CRL updates states: "The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap".
Almost there, Bryan!!!

WoW, It looks great!
And if he is going to thin the strap, the Pauldron will be perfect.

I think that means "joined recently"
But let's wait for someone to confirm it.

Just sent the guy making my pauldron on these photos. turns out he is a GML in the Spanish Garrison and is excited to try and make a more accurate option for the CRL instead of the current photo.
Hi, Could you send me by mp the name of the "manufacturer" of the pauldron?
Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. Any idea how to cut the bottom of those clips?
It depends on the material they are made of.
If they are made of aluminum, a tin snips can be used. Even something like a dremel, with the right cutting disc (for metal).

UPDATE
Well, my last post in this thread was thirteen months ago, but I just got home from an eight month deployment and decided it was time for an update. At the time of my last post I was just getting started on training, I began with nightly cardio and cutting out sugary beverages.
My routine has changed considerably since then, but the biggest change has been dietary, not so much a change in the kinds of foods I’ve been eating, but the serving sizes. Recently, I’ve started a new weight training regimen consisting of 1-2 hours in the gym five days a week (M-F).I’d be happy to go into detail if anyone would like to know more, but for the time being I just wanted to post some progress here. Posting keeps a little bit of healthy pressure on me, and this journey is far from over. Keep working hard Troopers, keep making progress, it’s never too late to get started. Best of luck to all of you.
Progress Troopers, Progress!

Hi Matt.
If you don't mind, I would add that in addition to what I mentioned in a previous post, ("unroll" the TD a little bit so that, as the CRL indicates "The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap"), you can also trim the clips a bit, since they stick out from under the belt.
Reference Image
A minor dressing issue here... It looks like the undersuit is a little bunched up.
Really, really, really nice job so far, Matt!!!
Almost there!!!

Hola Manvi. Voy a ser el DO encargado de revisar tu solicitud. Cómo bien te han indicado anteriormente, hay que hacer una serie de arreglos antes de poder continuar con tu solicitud.
Estaremos aquí para ayudarte en lo que necesites.
Hi Manvi. I am going to be the DO who will review your application. As indicated above, there are a few fixes that need to be made before we can proceed with your application.
We will be here to help you with whatever you need.
-Las malla de tus puntas Hovi sobresalen del borde y tienen que estar un poco hacia adentro.
-The screens on your Hovi tips are sticking out past the rims and need to be inside the rims with no edges of the screens showing.
Reference image
-Tus botas parecen estar muy bien hechas, pero desafortunadamente las suelas parecen ralladas. El CRL indica que deben tener suela plana, como se ve en lafoto de referencia.
-Your boots seem to be really well made, but unfortunately the soles appear to be textured/ribbed. As stated in the CRL they must have a flat sole as seen in the screen used photo reference.
Reference image
-El bláster necesita algunos ajustes.
-The blaster also needs some fixes.
Sabemos que no es lo que esperas cuando compras una armadura montada, pero no te desanimes, estamos aquí para ayudarte.
We know it's not what you expect when you buy a full commission armor, but don't be discouraged, we are here to help you.

Hi Justin, 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, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.
Excellent armor Justin!!!
There are a few things we would like to comment to you, but most of them are "minor" things.Starting with the helmet.
-L3. Ideally placement of the ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the Trap above them. This issue is present in 99% of the applications.But as we always tell you, it will only be a requirement for centurion level in case the helmet looks very bad... We encourage you to do so, and your helmet will look spectacular.
Reference images
-This is a detail that we frequently suggest too. As seen in the reference image, you could trim the ends of the brow trim. Easy fix
Reference images
-We see that you have 2 bumps on one side and 3 on the other. Yes, it is true, there were disparities in at least one helmet in the film, but most had 3 on each side, as you can see in the reference images. You can add one more stripe.
Reference images
Reference images show us that the Han Snap is usually closer to the edge. However, we have seen that your return edge is very wide, so it looks like the Han is misplaced. We think you could trim the return edge a bit to be more screen-accurate.
Reference images
-It seems that your posterior plate is sticking out a bit and is not aligned with the kidney. Maybe you can use the famous "v tabs" to fix it.
Reference images
-Just a dressing issue here. When putting on your calves take care of the back closure alignment.
Reference images
-The angle of the sniper knee plate should be a little sharper (don't make the corner a sharp one)..If you decide to fix this, take into account the alignment indicated in the points required for centurion level, below.
Reference image
***************************************************
Centurion Requirements:
In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 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 are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.
-CRL L3: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates.
It's very little, but we think you can reduce that gap a bit, and your armor will look much better. Small details make the difference.
Reference images
-L3.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.
In this photo, it looks like the white elastic is there. When you submit your Centurion application (wink,wink), you can include some more clarifying images.
Reference images
-L3. If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates have the correct visible stitching with a 5 point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, double stitched with 2 holes at each point and sewn to the glove at each one using black thread.
Yours looks to be satin type gloves but the hand plates are affixed by an elastic strap and no stitched to them. You will have to remove the elastics and sew the hand plates to the gloves.
Reference images
-L3.The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. You can trim the ends of the ABS belt a little.
Reference images
-L3. Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. You can prevent the drop boxes from moving by applying some E-6000 behind the strap.
Reference image
-L3. Canvas belt must be firm / sturdy in appearance. No creasing or sagging We suggest a slight haircut
Reference images
-L3 .Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable.
You can glue a small square of ABS (inside), and fill the joint with ABS paste, sugru or something like that.
Reference image
-L3. Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. The ridges on the top do not align with the ridges on the top of the shin as required. This is a common issue. It doesn't need to be perfect, but it needs to be a lot closer for Centurion.
Please, be extremely careful when removing the sniper knee plate, as it can easily break.
Reference images
That's all Justin. They may seem like a lot of things, but believe me, they are very simple fixes, which should not discourage you....
I look forward to seeing your Centurion application shortly....
Congratulations!!!- 2

Awesome, thank you for that quick response! I looks forward to hearing from the Deployment Officer Team about the issue as well. And I haven't added shims yet, so it wouldn't moving the bottom out so that the piece is level is still an option. I guess my biggest question is what takes priority, making sure that the back ridges are level or that the piece fits my leg correctly?
Hi Jonathan. We will look at the different options we have and get back to you as soon as possible.

Well Kris, first of all, I would like to congratulate you, because your armor is awesome. You are a very good example that no one is too tall or too short to be a Stormtrooper.
Here are a few suggestions to make your armor "Shine Bright".
A suggestion we frequently make is the placement of the ears. The CRL states that "Ideally, placement of ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the trap above them". Yours are not far from their ideal position. That's why we leave it as a suggestion.
Reference images
Well, it's not the first time we've seen a helmet with this kind of damage....
However, most helmets, have that area more or less smooth. You can try pushing from the inside of the helmet to see if that bump is fixed. If not, you can try gluing a piece of ABS inside the helmet to try to fix the bump.
Reference images
Your shoulder bridges are too "detached" from the armor. Maybe by placing the white elastic further back you can fix it.
Reference images
Your TD is almost perfect. We think it is a little high (very, very little) compared to the belt. You can try " unrolling" the clips a little bit. Also the control panel area will be in a better position.
Reference image
You can trim the button panel a little so that the notch is visible.

ANH Brow Trim
in Forum Help & Support
Posted
We usually suggest that it should be a little bit shorter. But it is always a suggestion, there is no problem if it is aligned.
