Mutter[TK] Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looks great! I hope my NE build looks as good as yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Batman[501st] Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looking good Ty. It's not written anywhere in the CRL's, but is there a reason why you cut the return edge off the top of the kidney. First I've seen like that I think. Looks like your belt has dropped exposing Velcro at the front. Not sure about Centurion applications but you should look at installing permanent snaps so this can't happen while trooping. Good luck.

Pencap510 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Easy fix with the Velcro. I originally used it because it wasn't visible and I really didn't want to glue snaps on my armor. If you notice on my belt- I have the snaps there ready to go- I just never added to my ab. I guess I could if needed - but lowering he industrial Velcro keeps it from ever rearing its ugly head again lol. (If ya look back to my EIB- it's not visible there). As for the kidney- it was a fit thing to look good and balanced. The NE armor was a little big on me- and leaving the kidney as is made my back pieces look way out of proportion.

ukswrath[Staff] Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hey Ty, looks great brother. Good luck. Suggestions: Close up the gap at the left Kidney/Ab (split rivet) top section, paint the screws on your TD black and I'm not sure but the sniper knee may need to be trimmed a bit, but don't quote me on that. Nice build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusken RTT Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 They beat me to the TD screws; looks awesome! Saw you had some frustration it looks like with the glue on the gloves- I had to ditch a pair it was so bad!! Beautiful build- good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencap510 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'll add the black paint as soon as I get home and post updated pic of TD screws. Easy fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Saw you had some frustration it looks like with the glue on the gloves", I concur. Actually spoke with Mike at TB regard the issue with the hand plate attachment. His suggestion was super glue. This is how I set mine up and they came out perfect. First stuff gloves with socks to simulate my hand. Mark the gloves with a sharpie to indicate the location of the guard. Take about 1 foot of masking (or similar) tape and attached it to the guard. Apply the super glue. Quickly place the guard on the glove wrapping the tape around. Continued to wrap the glove till all guard edges were covered then let set for a day. Not only did they come out glued perfectly they were also contoured.

gazmosis[501st] Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Alright, Mr. Murphy! Thank you so much for your Centurion application! It is obvious that this is where you planned to be before even opening your big brown box! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been posted or required points are clearly visible. Your armor has met all the requirements for Centurion. That saying, I would like to welcome you to Centurion!!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: A well deserved round of applause! A well planned, clean build that your Garrison should be proud to have trooping with them! Only a couple minor things to mention that WON'T affect your application but fall into the "eventually" category. I would take Tony's advice and perhaps replace the top strap between your kidney and ab with webbing to keep that separation in check. Thank you for shaving that extra return edge material off your back. It really made a big difference. Before: After: Thank you also for extending the paintwork on the frown. Little details like that make a big difference. While we are on paint details, If I was say that anything on your armor was in question, it would be the rear trap vent lines on your helmet. These just throw me. Because the remainder of your helmet details are so nice and consistent I don;t see it as too big of an issue but I would strongly consider making the tops and bottoms a bit more even. Usually, a clear pic like yours will show paint/brush lines which I can't see. This makes me believe these are decals but I know Trooperbay doesn't offer ones that are THAT wonky. Where did you get those?? Lastly, I would still be on the lookout for smaller nuts for the front and rear of the power cylinders on your blaster. Be proud of this great accomplishment! I know I would be. Troop on, good Sir and congratulations!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencap510 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hooray!!! Thanks guys- coming from the "big brown box" - to being accepted to the ranks of Centurion is definitely a proud moment for me. When I first stared my trek to becoming a TK- I had no idea what level of detail was put into this- and it was a super fun process- I'll be doing it again shortly with some armor for my kids #ADDICTED Steve- as for the back traps... Those ARE decals- and they came with the NE bucket. I'm going to try and use some grey paint to even out the vent lines, but I fear that the grey from the decal and the grey paint won't mesh perfectly and I'll end up taking them off.. Then I can paint them like the rest. My anxiety of painting that large area has decreased- having built confidence in the other areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
