gazmosis[501st] Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello Raymond. Thank you for your Centurion application! RS armor will always be up there with my favorite armors. I hate you for being able to fit in it. ANYWAY......... let's get to your armor! I appreciate the adjustments you have made with your ab buttons and holster straps. They look great!!! I will touch on your sides a little further down. CRL and Centurion Photo Requirements: Caen had already beat me to it when mentioning about some missing photos. It is easier to have the photo checklist in your photographer's hand and take/submit your Centurion armor photos from the list. That way nothing is missed. Anyway, I am going to need the following pictures posted: "S" trim verification on the neck opening of your helmet, Close-ups of both the front and rear of your shoulder bridges, Close-up of your sniper knee plate, close-up of your thigh pack attachment, and a closer shot of your boots. They should be slightly scuffed up. They look REALLY clean in these shots. I was able to reference your blaster and belt pics from your EIB application. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly I want to thank you again for doing the adjustments we discussed earlier. There is one thing, however, that I would like you to adjust or verify for me. The split rivets on your left side should be mounted in the neighborhood of 10 MM in from the seam of your Ab and Kidney. The pics from your EIB application show this to be way outside that 10 MM. I agree that you have trimmed it down a bit but according to your ruler, you are still hovering closer to the 20 MM range than the 10. I have looked at your armor fit and would consider letting this go if the armor was squeezing you but it seems like you have the room to make this adjustment. Look that over and see if you can bring those rivets evenly closer to the seam by trimming a little more. Have someone squeeze the kidney and ab closure without the belt. If there is still overlap at your sides, you have the room. These are minor changes that will bring your armor to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray ray[TK] Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi guys, Thanks for the input. I apologize as I was trying to get my Centurion application started before I left town. I have all the photos necessary in my photobucket except for the close ups of the shoulder straps and the S trim. I'll get those taken when I get home on the 14th. I'll add the others tonight though. Also Steve, I'll try your fit test then as well and then either beg or trim more as appropriate. Thanks for your patience. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ray: Thank you for addressing these changes. Future troopers who strive for Centurion look to these threads. to see how it's done. Congratulations and welcome to Centurion!!! I do want to make a note. It states clearly in the CRL that a solid head rivet must be used and standard pop rivets are not allowed to attach the pack to the lower thigh. . Since you have gone through the extra effort to fill the rivet center and paint it, I will allow it. Speed or cap rivets are readily available and should be used as the method for attaching the thigh pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
