Glove / forearm order?

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

I'm talking about centurion, still.

 

Also Vern; you are wearing armour that you and me both know is too small for you. Using yourself is not a good example this time.

Using common sense when wearing armour includes wearing armour that is your size, and if it is, then you shouldn't need to use velcro. Hence why I think it should never be used. Because I base my opinion on common sense, and correct accurate assembly.

 

the existance of sidegap shims proves that I"M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

 

there are many people who just don't have the body type for small armor.

 

do people who need to shim consider themselves to be rejected at the EIB or Centurion level?

common sense requires fat and small to be accepted.

Are you saying my armor makes me look fat?

There is nothing in the CRL about the method used to enclose forearms. The only mention of enclosing forearms at all exists at the basic level.

 

Not granting Centurion based on the use of velcro in the forearms is not only the wrong thing to do, but not in the spirit of the award. If the forearm velcro was unsightly, obvious, or sloppy, only then are there grounds for asking a Centurion candidate to redo their forearms. 

 

 

While Vern does wear armor that is too small for him.... and somehow pulls it off... there is no forearm out there big enough for his size. I am in the same size boat.... unless I make cover strips so large that I wouldn't even approve my own centurion application.

It is in the spirit to make it look accurate to the outside. And you can't do that with velcro. And if you can, and I don't notice, then I won't comment on it. Good on you sir.

And Eric, there is no mention on the size of how large your cover strips need to be. I'd rather see someone wear larger coverstrips instead of velcro. And why would you still not need the same size cover strips to hide your velcro? It doesn't make sense that you magcially can have slimmer armour because you can use velcro. You arm doesn't shrink because of it.

 

so we blame the armor I wear?

see... that's not the point of armor.

 

the point of armor is not about body size.

it matters if it looks good enough to pass standards established by the crl.

 

shims and extended parts allow for armor even in the centurion status.

you should not judge based upon size.

 

I don't want to wear RT mod armor.

 

I have AP armor with shims on my sidegaps.

that's it.

 

there are tons of centurion or EIB troopers who have 14" arms 18" biceps

23" thighs 19" shins with a 38" waist and a 40" chest.

 

those are my measurements.

 

just because I don't have:

 

10" arms 12" biceps 21" thighs and 17" shins with a 34" waist and a 36" chest

 

does not mean that I should be rejected for EIB or Centurion.

 

the main point of a costuming club is not to ever forget that fat people want to be EIB and Centurion

and they want to stuff themselves into costumes that are too small for them.

 

I can list on and on the EIB and Centurion builds that are not small people.

Well, you have your partnership with AP so of course you would not want to wear anything else. Even if it would look better on you.

No, and you know that. You can shim your forearms too.

You can use shims on your forearms too.

I don't have a partnership with AP. nor do I wear only AP. I have ATA and greatly want other armors.

 

do I look fat in this armor?

 

right now... yep!

 

I look forward to TIE pilot and other related costumes?

velcro allows a slimmer armor because it fits after the limb is in position.

 

it's hard to explain, but the fact is that if you use velcro on a large hand, it can provide a slimmer forearm.
