I actually finished this for C2E2 in Chicago in April. It took me long enough to submit my photos but here they are the night before I leave for CVI! Enjoy.... Thanks for looking and I graciously await the verdict. I will be checking on my plane ride to Celebration VI. Edited August 22, 2012 by TK265 Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 I am having issues with my photos. I uploaded them with files that were too large and then resized them only to not be able to load any more photos. Quote

Have you tried uploading the photos to a site like photobucket and linking them in your post with the little square icon with the tree in the formatting bar above? Aloha, -Eric Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) You are the Man! Thanks! That fixed my problem. Edited August 22, 2012 by TK265 Quote
matt black Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Do you have an action shot Javier. Looking good. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 You make my job as the self appointed "Director of Detachment Sardonicisms and Sarcasm" very very easy. Our new motto should be: FISD, one of the few places on the interwebs where you can legitimately talk about crotches and butts as much as you want. Seeing as I have nothing substantive to add... I wish you Aloha and good luck trooper. -Eric Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 LOL! Crotches and Troopers anyone! As for the action shot I will upload it as soon as possible. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Nice suit Javier! It's an easy approval and shouldn't have much trouble getting you centurion either. I have some suggestions to make it even better. Your knee plate ends in a taper now, redo that and cut the ends so they stop vertically instead of taper. Shorten the detonator clips and re-work the angles so that the keypad on the detonator is more horizontal and less of the clips are show when attached to the belt. Rotate the right thigh a bit so it's more centered. Maybe it's like that normally, but on your pictures it's a bit rotated. Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks! I'm going to shorten the clips and submit the photos for Centurion when I come back from CVI! Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 I'd highly recommend fixing the knee-plate taper as well. Quote
RedSpecial[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 That's a great looking set of armour you've got there ! Congratulations Javier Quote
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Awesome job Javier! It looks even better in person! Congrats! Centurion next! See you soon! Have fun in Florida brother! Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Congrats on being EIB two fiddy! Ok attachés.... get out there and bring us 50 more EIBs before 2013 gets here. Aloha, -Eric Quote
Dazauto[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Congrats on your EIB, welcome to the ranks trooper Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Posted August 22, 2012 At Celebration VI and will do us proud tomorrow! Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 At Celebration VI and will do us proud tomorrow! Pics or it didn't happen! Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 It's been great so far here at Celebration VI! I was in the group shot with FISD for Centurions and EIB as well as EIB group photo. I will post my action pick from CVI as well as photos from CVI when I get home Monday. Quote
TK Keith[TK] Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 Congratulations on joining the EIB ranks! I had to shorten the clips for my ATA build too, but that's an easy fix. For Centurion, the elastic that joins the chest and back plate needs to be white, correct? Quote

MisterFett[TK] Posted August 27, 2012 Report Posted August 27, 2012 From one new TK to one old TK friend of mine, love the new suit, Javier! Quote
SHEEPDOG54[TK] Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Posted August 27, 2012 I'm going to shorten the clips and change the black elastic to white when I get home. Quote
bigironvault Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Hey Javier nice build and congrats. You might want to see about reducing the butt flare you have right now. Thats all I have to add Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Congrats on being #250. This is quite a milestone for the program and you can now claim you were in that first big batch. 250 - that's larger that almost every garrison! Well done Quote
