I ll do my best.

But you might have a look at the tubestripes again.

Its not mandatory but would look so much better applied on the right sides.

If you know what i mean.

While I would strongly recommend upgrading your leg armour, thighs and shins, to ATA or similar, and pull those shoulder bells in a bit closer - your armour does check all the boxes and I therefore approve your request for centurion.

 

Good job trooper! :duim:

I took your suggestion and moved the sniper plate, and I'm much happier with it (the finger is healing). I also tried to tighten-up the shin armor like you recommended, but any tighter and they simply wouldn't close around my odd calves. I'll keep my eyes open for some reasonable upgrades. Thanks for the approval. I am proud to be among your ranks, and according to Daetrin, I'm the first Centurion out of Garrison Titan.

Congratulations! I love the weathering on your armor - how did you weather the helmet?

 

Thanks. I hit it with a sanding sponge, then brushed some charcoal-colored fuller's dirt into the scruffs, then dry-wiped the excess. I took a rough-grit sanding sponge to the red paint while it was still somewhat soft to create the flaking. The helmet is painted HIPS, so the worn spots are exactly that: the color of the HIPS showing through after some more concentrated sanding, then accented with the fuller's dirt. I then spray it with Modge-Podge to keep everything in and my fingers clean.

You are indeed the first Centurion in our garrison, but I hope to have this changed fast. We have a lot of EI & close to EI folks - it would not be hard to have a "centurion party" on a weekend and get a good number of folks over the top. Maybe someone with space can host? ;-)

I couldn't have done it without your help Paul. I'd offer to host a space for a Centurion party, but with 3 kids, 25 guitars, tons of gear, drums, 3 cellos, and 9 costumes... have you seen Hoarders?
