Clarification from EIB thread:

 

I had to use 35mm cover strips for the rear in order to close the gap towards the top of the thighs and have enough surface on the cover strip each side for gluing.

Thermal det is approx 185mm in total length

End caps are 17mm wide (largest I could go to avoid flaring at the ends)

There is a 13.5mm gap between the control panel and end caps

Control panel is approx 124mm in length

Clips are 25mm wide

Also further AB detail which was hidden in original pics - A single male snap on the top right corner of the ab plate is present.

Really nice.  On the rear coverstrips, it does look like you have some room to still close it up with smaller ones if you wanted.  Looks like plenty of overlap on the gap you needed to close.  Also for the helmet- are those regular decals or the Dave M handpainted style?  They almost look too good. 

 

Good luck!

Good luck, John!

 

BTW, your blaster build thread was excellent! I used it as a step-by-step on how to build mine and incorporate T-jay's mod kit.

 

Glad to see you going for your Centurion!

HI there, John!!

Thank you for this great Centurion application! Let's not waste any more time and get to it!!!

 

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted.  This armor set contains all the required details needed to qualify for the Centurion badge. With much pleasure, I both congratulate and welcome you to Centurion!!

 

Other-Armor Fit/ Assembly: In this section, the final look of your armor will be discussed through observations by myself and your fellow troopers. 

I am loving MTK more and more. Sets like John's add fuel to that fire. This is just splendid. Just nice, detailed work all around!! 

There was mention of the Dave M decals looking a bit too perfect. The only part of that decal set that can really be compared to that are the temple traps. The rear trap outline curves and swoops a lot especially at the bottom, The outline of the tears are bit wonky and the vent lines within the tears are very "hand painted" looking. Though the rear vent lines are pretty straight, they were like that on the originals as well.post-12041-0-50887300-1438186624_thumb.jpg The tube stripes that come with that set also jump around a bit especially towards the frown. 

 

One of my main concerns I originally had with this armor was the extra width on the rear cover strips. I can see from the fit of the thighs that there is no extra room to take these down and from the gap in the pic shown, this was necessary. I am not requiring a change here, but an option for people dealing with this in the future is the use of an inside connection strip. Typically, this gap is only at the top as in the case with yours. You have also used an inside strip but what can be done is to cut a strip and place it onto the connecting strip to occupy the low spot between the thigh halves. the cover strip can be glued to this center fill portion rather than the outside edge. This was the cover strip can be cut to be almost exactly the width of the gap itself. Now this will only work should we be talking about a few MM to be covered. Any wider and I would suggest shimming with some ABS paste work. There will always be difference to me between marginally wider cover strips and ones that are more than 30 or 40 Centimeters. Shims should be considered if your strips are running that wide.

The fact that John kept the calf closures the same as the rear thighs balances that out.

 

Congratulations again!! It would be an honor to troop beside you!!

Centurions are slowly growing in the Redback Garrison, and we have a couple more in the process of building to the rank. Very exciting times indeed.
