The5thHorseman[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Walter, your armor is truly looking superb! All the hard work you've put into it has really paid off . One thing i'd like to point out is the fact your kidney notches are far exceeding the 22mmx22mm "rule" because of your shims. I personally think it is a great thing to have modify their dimensions so the vertical part of the notch still lines up with the butt plate and i hope it won't hinder your application: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusken RTT Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was kind of wondering about that also; with everyone doing more and more shim work, it can be tricky deciding where to put the notch; on the ab facing part of the shim or on the part attaching to the kidney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribon72[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Thanks Germain! Since my armor was sitting on the floor on its side, I took more pictures this morning to show its proper alignment: During the build I made sure my MrNoStripes (V-2.0) strapping brackets would hold the kidney and butt in place. I had soften the corners because the sharps corners were snagging by black under suit.

Haribon72[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Here are my kidney notch measurements: Right Side Kidney Notch Left Side Kidney Notch I know my shims will be a big debate and discussion. So I appreciate your time, consideration, and May The Force Be With Me!!! Thank you. Edited March 17, 2015 by Haribon72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutter[TK] Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Walter, great job! I love everything except for the fact that you can kneel in your armor! ;-) There were a few items I noticed. Your belt should be touching or slightly overlapping your ab buttons. In 2 of the pics, it seems a little low. On your right forearm, it seems the cover strip is either too narrow or the raised ridge is too wide. The last item, the end caps on your TD could be a little closer. I'm not sure if these will matter, but I figure I'd point them out. Excellent job on your build. I'm looking forward to congratulating you one more time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just so everyone knows, I have not been ignoring this. I have a good idea how this is going to go regarding the kidney notch/shim relationship, but a decision like this should be followed by an explanation for future reference. This is being discussed. Hang in there, Walt!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Alright, Walt! Thank you for your application to Centurion. All I can say, is Wow! You have had an incredible adventure and deserve an ovation for your ABS paste work as well as adapting this suit to your body type. Fantastic! Anyway, we have some things to cover so let's get to it!! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: Thank you for sharing your library of photos with us. All posted photos are present that the application requires. I am pleased to say that your armor displays all necessary elements for Centurion. Congratulations!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: I agree that your belt could be brought up a tad to rest directly against the bottom edge of the button plates. Your blaster looks so much better now that you knocked the gold on the scope down and LOOK AT YOU adding silver down by the trigger group! You maniac! As for your holster, it is definitely better. You must have received that as an ESB holster at first? Now, the delay in this response was due to a situation that, up until now, has not been discussed. Since the addition of the Kidney notch to the CRL, it was always seen as an easy addition to armors that didn't have it already incorporated into their molds like AP, ATA, AM, and RT Mod. However, if a shim was required for the previously mentioned armor, the shim would be installed then the notch cut into the ab side of the new shim. Well, in cases like NE, RS, TM, and now MTK, the notch is already molded into the kidney. If a shim would need to be added in these cases, it would be EXTREMELY challenging. I pulled a picture from Walt's build thread and pointed out the many obstacles: The other issue is a moral one. I didn't have the pleasure of offering assistance on Walt's build thread. In that section of the build, Walt asked a number of times if things looked good as the progress went on and it was always agreed that it was fine by some very experienced members. How can it be supported as ok there, and not here?? This kind of issue does not arise too often so I feel no remorse in categorizing this situation as a special exemption. Congratulations, Walt. Your Garrison should be proud to troop beside you!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
