MisterFubar[TK] Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Not happy at all with any of the action shots I got. Will have to try to get some better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Yeah I don't see any problems assuming your lenses are indeed green. Post up a picture of that and you got your approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you're looking to go for centurion I know there are a few things you should mod first though, if you're interested in hearing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFubar[TK] Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you're looking to go for centurion I know there are a few things you should mod first though, if you're interested in hearing those. I'd appreciate the tips, but I'm still not sure I want to go Centurion. I need to get over not liking the visible rivets in the side before I make that plunge.

Locitus[Admin] Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Centurion isn't for everyone, but there are some bits of it that everyone can enjoy and benefit from even if you don't go all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFubar[TK] Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Centurion isn't for everyone, but there are some bits of it that everyone can enjoy and benefit from even if you don't go all the way. By all means, let me have it. I'd love to hear any advice or tips you have for improving the armor and my wear of it. I'm a little over critical of myself and looking at my pictures I see a bunch of little things I'd like to fix. I honestly expected to log on this morning and have a list of items I would need to fix for approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well, the corners of the belt are cut too large. But your belt is a bit too long too, which works in your favour for fixing the corners. If you cut the belt down to align with the ends of the button covers (although those are a little close to the belt boxes), you can make new corners you can cut smaller. You probably need to move the drop boxes inwards accordingly to keep the same relative position. The ends of the knee plate should not taper but stop vertically. The knee belt is a bit short on each side, and the radius of the bottom corner could be slightly bigger, as well as the attaching rivet painted white. The snaps for attaching the holster to the belt is wrong. But you can easily fix that by using pop rivets to hold 1 half of the same kind of snap to the inside of the belt. Just use the snap as if it was a washer. And it's a little hard to tell what hand guards you have, but if they are of the flexible kind I would say you should glue them down on the gloves a bit better around the edges. It's all pretty easy fixes and you should be able to do them in one evening if you want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Welcome aboard, Nate! Your armor (and Tony's and Antonio's) will set new standards for what a TK should look like in our garrison, and to me that is really exciting.

Put a larger radius on the knee belt, I guess I'll need to buy a replacement if I want to make them longer. I've been having problems with the handgaurds staying glued down, even with using insta-set and super glue like the maker recommended. Trying one more time with that before I switch to something else. I'll work on my belt later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
