Armor: Anovos (Modified) Helmet: Anovos Blaster: Hyperfirm DLT-19 Boots: TKBoots Canvas belt: Trooperbay Hand Plates: Trooperbay Electronics: Self-made fan system, iComm and Ukswrath's Hovi mics, amplifier and SHA Neck Seal: Anovos supplied Pauldron: Trooperbay I apologize for waiting nearly a year to put in this application. Thank you for your time and consideration. (Please pardon the interior of my armor. Adding the shims made a total mess of things!) Full Body: Armor Details: Helmet: (Note: I used an older picture because my s-trim is now glued on to keep it in place a little better. It hasn't changed though.) Accessories: (Note: The blaster pictures are the same that I used on my EIB application, so they're a litter older. Nothing has changed though.) (Just showing the electronics. There's lots of hot glue in there and it's cramped! Everything is in the bucket though.) Shims: (I'm just adding this section to show how I got Anovos armor to fit me. I know it isn't totally necessary.) Split the ab plate and added the shim Details were added back on using Apoxie Sculpt Same with the kidney plate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 AWESOME job, Brian!!! Always great to see another level 3 HWT submission! Incredible job on those shims, brother. They may need to see an outside view of the side shims, but if they look even half as good as the ones on your ab and kidney you should be set to go. Also, you will probably need to change out the white elastic strap on the back of the shoulder bridges... it should be about 1/4 inch wide, and is available at most craft/fabric shops (even Wal-mart) An EASY fix! I look forward to welcoming you to the ranks of the few, the proud, the HWT Centurions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magni[TK] Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking great Brian! Yet another HWT for the Centurion Ranks! Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelito Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks guys! I knew that I was going to forget a picture or two. Here's the side shim picture that I meant to add (I can take more tonight if needed): I somehow managed to take this picture at a weird angle, so you can't see the cutout. It's present in a picture in the original post. Just so it doesn't seem like I'm hiding it- It's probably a good time to bring up that I'm a bit uncertain about how the cutout works on my fatty shims. I think that I might have to extend the cut all the way back but I didn't want to do it without being told first, just to be safe! As for the elastic, I'll get that all fixed up after work! I have some non-roll elastic left from making my shins. If anybody sees this before tonight, is that type too textured for this purpose or does it matter?

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 WOW! One of the best shim jobs I've seen, Brian! As for the elastic, it should be relatively plain and 1/4 inch wide. A roll costs like $1.29. and will last a long time. (Unless you are like me and lose at least one of the danged things at every troop, LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelito Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Update: My belt was a little too low, so I raised it up to a more accurate level (I hope. ;P ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrookKnight[TK] Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looking Great. Love the shims. You will have to share your secret on how you made them look so good. Good Luck and hope to see you as the next HWT Centurion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magni[TK] Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hang in there Brian! The only thing I notice is you should put some foam in the ammo pouches to make them look full. Good Luck #7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck and hope to see you as the next HWT Centurion. Thank you! Secret is lots of Apoxie Sculpt and hours of sanding!...So much sanding... I still see sandpaper in my dreams some nights. Hang in there Brian! The only thing I notice is you should put some foam in the ammo pouches to make them look full. Good Luck #7!Ah yes! I've been considering this for a while but I keep putting it off for some reason. I think that I was hoping for something cool to come along to stick in there... But nobody would see it anyway, I suppose! I guess I'll stick with foam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hey Brian, thank you for your Centurion application, let's get started. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the Centurion required components. Sly and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to level 3. Excellent work!! . Another HWT hits the Centurion stage, welcome to the elite brother. Another note worth mentioning, during Brian's application I privately asked him if he would raise the waist belt after noticing it was too low but forgot to mention it during his EIB application. Technically he didn't have to do it but he wanted to do whatever it took to look his best and earn the Centurion badge. I would like to commend him on his decision to go the extra mile. The Empire is proud to have you in it's ranks Brian, great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
