Boots Maker: Imperial Boots Canvas Belt: AP Hand Plates Type: justjoseph63 Neck Seal Type: Darman's Props Holster Maker: AP Link to EIB approval. Based on my EIB approval, I closed the gap between my back plate and kidney, tried to lessen the gap between my thighs and shins, lessened the gap on my shoulders and back plate, and moved my drop boxes to the side. Regarding the paint on the ab buttons, I do see the requirement is "Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button", but none of the buttons extend beyond the raised button. There is a slight white raise around each button. I hope the detailed ab button picture shows this better. Per EIB request, I raised the right side of my sniper knee to align with the ridges on the shin. Edited April 3, 2020 by iEmpire916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Nice work, you may have to watch your drop box placement, a little E6000 can hold the elastic in place I'd also check you spacing on the TD, gap between end caps and plate look a little small Good luck with approval 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iEmpire916[TK] Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Oops, that was actually an old picture from my EIB! haha I just edited that one. If you look at the other side view pictures my drop boxes are now much more aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Looking good, William, and Sha Sha will be with your shortly! As Glen mentioned, the drop boxes are still wandering a little and need some more alignment. Easy fix! Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt These pics are from your current submission Because a close-up was not visible in your EI submission this item was not seen, but as per the CRL for Level 3 the return edges in the "hump" area will need to be trimmed out. 4 minutes with a Dremel should do the trick! No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. To completely eliminate the gap between the ab/kidney it looks as if you have room to tighten your belt a bit. Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor Almost there, sir!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also got rid of the return edge on my on my forearms as well. Hopefully these are acceptable now! Also, here is a close up of my side and I do not believe I can close the gap any more than that. haha Edited April 4, 2020 by iEmpire916 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shashachu[TK] Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hey William! Good to see your Centurion app already. We need a few more fixes from you before proceeding with your application. First, your shoulder bell gap is improved, but there's still a visible gap at the top. Is it possible to shorten the elastic holding it on any more? I don't have a good sense of how broad your shoulders are compared to the bells. Reference Images: Next, the horizontal dropbox alignment looks great, but they appear to be hanging a little low. It might just be the photo perspective, but if there is a gap, we're asking you to shorten the elastic so the top of the dropbox sits just at the bottom of the ABS belt. Reference Image: You're almost there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully these new pictures should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shashachu[TK] Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi William, Thanks for your application and for your patience. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Centurion! On behalf of Joseph and myself, many congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly In this area we discuss areas that could benefit from additional improvement. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions As mentioned in your EIB review, we'd ideally like to see the ab paint a bit smaller, but ultimately the choice is yours. Reference Image: And that's it! Hopefully we'll all be able to get out and troop soon, but until then, please accept our hearty congratulations on reaching Centurion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
