UPDATED PICTURES FOR CENTURION BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MY EIB APPLICATION:

 

Left cracked trap on helmet 

This is merely a reflection/weird angle. It looks totally fine normally :)

 

bUSFa83.jpg

 

Vocoder paint runs

I sanded the vocoder and gave it a fresh coat of satin black #85!

 

GT8zEEc.jpg

 

Chestplate return edge too big

I trimmed the chestplate return edge.

 

vfr1L66.jpg

 

Black gap at wrists

As I have these set up with velcro, it was just a matter of adjusting the velcro a bit.

 

2IYJiT5.jpg

 

GxCGxYA.jpg

 

Frayed belt too frayed

I gave the belt a haircut.

 

t4zNxSU.jpg?1

 

Ob6PuKm.jpg

 

Plastic belt bending outwards too much

I can't remember if I did more to it after the original pictures, but I suited up and it looks just fine :)

 

vCWes2D.jpg

 

AgnyDXK.jpg

 

TD clips to be more squared

I have not done anythting here, but it should not hold up my application. I will get to it as soon as I get access to some more power tools.

 

Butt-plate overlapping issue

This must've been a dressing error as it isn't a problem.

And btw, @shashachu the overlap issue I was referring to, was that of the ab-plate and kidney. As I said in my EIB application i've fixed it with a bracketing system. For anyone new reading this, it is highly recommended! A couple of scrap ABS pieces and some glue is all you need :D 

 

J1AHKUV.jpg

 

Sniper-knee tucking under thigh

This is due to my legs. I don't know if it's genetic or medical but I stand naturally with my legs like a darn flamingo:

 

xo9vAU4.jpg

 

This is how it looks when I stand like a normal person:

 

dzGs1Ul.jpg

 

Forearm return edge

This is just the nature of the super thick ATA kit. There is no return edge present on my forearms.

 

uyjO9VP.jpg

 

VJFkNa4.jpg

 

Back shoulder gap

This is mostly a dressing issue. After taking the original photos I upgraded with white polyester webbing under the shoulder-bridges which helped bring it in closer.

 

(Sorry for the wonky photos, it's hard doing this by yourself!)

Hi Daniel!

Thanks so much for your patience, and for making the adjustments suggested in your EIB application.

 

Could you include the following photos: closeups of your boots, as well as closeups of the front and backs of your shoulder bridges. 

 

Thanks!

These must've slipped through the cracks. I swore I included them lol :D

Really nice job on those repairs, brother.  Great to see you went the extra mile, and it shows!  Not that it's a deal breaker by any means, but the ends of the TD clips should be squared off.  Also, very wise idea putting Velcro on the clips.  It keeps them from scratching your armor and in place securely.  I've seen more a few folks try to steal them off of a TK on troops.

It's on the list :) I'll have to re-position the panel in order to keep the clips flush with the panel due to cutting/trimming the clips. Velcro is just awesome, you already have it from your build, takes a minute to install. A real no brainer!

 

Just want to make this clear Joseph, since you are a DO, do you want me to do this before you guys can proceed with my application?

Since that particular issue is not specifically listed in the CRL for L3 it is just a suggestion toward screen accuracy.  Great to hear that you will be addressing it, but it's not a necessity, brother.

Hey Daniel, welcome back and thank you for your Centuriom application.  Thank you also for making  several of the suggested corrections and for providing updated photos.

CRL and Centurion Application Requirements:

All required submission photos appear to be present. Fantastic job on your build. On behalf of the FISD Deployment team I'd like to welcome you to Centurion.  Congratulations!   :jc_doublethumbup:

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this area we discuss any areas still needing some improvement. Though they will not hold you back from Centurion, Centurion is the elite level of accuracy and what we suggest here will help you reach that.

 

First, great job on the vocoder repaint! It does look like you might still have some paint smudges left, so just a quick pass with a cotton swab and some paint thinner could clean that up:

Next, this is almost certainly just a dressing issue, but I thought I'd point out that in one of your updated photos, your ab plate is peeking out from under your chest, so I'd just double check that the strapping there is tight enough to keep everything in place.

Another small thing I'd point out is that now that your belt has been given a haircut, you might want to trim the corners of your plastic belt just a touch in order to align them with the canvas.

Moving along, I apologize for not pointing this out during your EIB application, but we noticed that the thigh ammo rivet is a bit bumpy. It could just be excess paint, but the original rivets were smooth head single cap rivets so it'd really make things look clean if that fastener was either sanded smooth or replaced:

Finally, just for completeness, I'll mention again that the corners of your TD clips should be square not round. (I know you said you would get to that; I just thought I'd mention it for the benefit of those who might be viewing your application in the future.)

Joseph- I wrapped my metal clips in Velcro as well based on your suggestion a while ago. Question- do you put the rough side of the Velcro on the belt or the abs? I would think that having the rough Velcro in place, while trying to slide the TD on, it would be a pain in the neck?

If it helps, I just put the fluffy loop side of the velcro on the metal clips. No rough/hook side velcro on the belt or ABS, that would surely make it a pain!
