Looks great Brenton! I can't really find too much to comment on. Your shoulder bells should be very close or touching your shoulder bridges. Great job blending your side shims. Good luck! :jc_doublethumbup:

Biceps could be closer to the forearms. The tops of the forearms should be nearly touching the bottom of the biceps when your arms are straight down. Try strapping them together.

You are right Mathias. I had the biceps strapped to the forearms before. Took them off because when I would bend my arms, it would pinch me pretty good. 

Due to my short arms....I can put the straps back on to make it have less gap. thanks  ;)

Always them shoulder bells ;) Might look into bending my shoulder bells inward more to close the gap. 

 

Thanks

Cut the inside curve of the forearms deeper to avoid future cutting. Then you can have them worn properly and not pinching at the same time.

The only things I was going to mention have already been mentioned (shoulder bells - left in particular, and bicep/forearm gap).

 

Looks good brother!!!  Good luck!

This is mainly for my own curiosity, as I'm no expert and haven't even started my armor yet, but shouldn't the shoulder bell strap around the arm be black instead of white too? It stand out a little from the back shots. Great build though!

No sir, that shoulder bell strap is black and looks exactly that way.  Check out this TK's left shoulder / bicep:

You might be thinking the top of the bicep is the strap but it's not, the black below that is the actual strap going around the bicep.

Ohhh....yes, I see what you're saying now.  That's exactly what happened.  My mistake.  And my apologies to Brenton.  The black on white on black played tricks on my newbie eyes.

Hey there Brenton!!! This has been quite the journey for you. I commend you on your arrival to this point. I know it has been a tough road but you have a lot to be proud of. So let's look at your application and your armor a little more closely.

 

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

You have all the photos on the list posted but one detail that needs to be verified is the "no return edge" on the wrist side of your forearms. Please take/post that pic.  Now, on your armor, there are, however, a couple small tweeks that need to be adjusted. You are SOOOO close here and these minor fixes shouldn't take long at all.

The first one I want to mention is.....well.....this:post-12041-0-89547600-1406396431_thumb.png  It was correct in your EIB post. What happened????

The next thing that needs repair is to eliminate the gap between your shoulder bells and shoulder bridges. They should be darn near touching in that area.

As for your forearm/bicep gap. I like the idea of the strap connecting the two but I hear ya when it comes to the pinching. Lowering your bicep can eliminate that. If that means your bicep shoulder bell strap won;t show, that's OK. 

You could also raise your forearm, note where the pinching is happening and trim that area down or like Mathias suggested, widen the area. 

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

Because Centurion applications show more detail than EIB, better suggestions can be made towards the overall look of your armor. These are suggestions that won't affect your application.

Congrats on those areas I know you struggled with like the thigh pack, sniper plate, and your side shims/ABS paste work!! Great job!

Now, I would kind of knock down the gold on your blaster's counter. I know what you were going for here, but any weathering that would allow the brass on the real counters used to show through would be primarily on the edges. You would still see it subtlety, but sometimes less is more.

Next is the elastic around your shoulder bridges. It looks small to me. Here is 1/4 inch elastic:post-12041-0-74543400-1406398388_thumb.jpg

I am just concerned that your smaller elastic might break on you. 

 

Attack these small changes and you will be there. Great job so far, Brenton!

Thank You for Looking at my armor and pointing out what I needed to fix.

 

Well here are are my fixes. :)

 

 

As I totally Forgot to Add pics of my forearms of having no return edge. Here they Are:

I totally wasn't paying attention when painting my buttons LOL fixed it....

Moving Along...Moving Along...

 

I Adjusted the strapping holding the Biceps to Shoulder Bells together.

 

...so that the biceps came down more to not only bring my shoulder bells closer to the shoulder bridges,

but also making less of a gap between the forearms and biceps. 

 

Pretty Much killing two Rebels with one Stone.

 

As seen in this picture.

As for the other fixes, I took a good bit of that pesky weathering off from the counter.

 

Before:

After:

Lastly...The Shoulder Bridge Elastic. Yeah I was wondering why they were not holding....

 

Because the whole time they were a much smaller size :P

 

So I went  and got the 1/4 size elastic for them...here it is

Thank You Steve for the kind words on my hard work :)
