It'll get "bigger" then click on the icon on the bottom and select "copy link". Now just paste that that into your post and it appears. Done. Hope this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hi Jonathan. Nice work with your RWA kit sir. It looks to me that you are ok for basic approval, If you wanted to go for higher levels (EIB and Centurion) you would need a couple of twerks . For a better look, what pop up to my eyes are the Shoulder Bells, I would recommend rotating them forward to decrease the gap Shoulder bell/Chest plate. and you may want to shorten the shoulder straps to get them next to the shoulder bridges. Reference Images Good luck and looking forward for your TK ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK 17654[TK] Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Thanks! The shoulders have definitely been an area of annoyance. I think I’ll try swapping my straps between the biceps and the shoulders to see if that helps the overall fitment of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 A few other tweaks: Your butt plate is sticking backwards and overlapping the kidney, I came up with these V brackets which can help: With a heat gun (or oven) you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. Ideally there should be no gap between the kidney and ab plates but you will be ok for basic approval. Boots have the front seam which should be ok for basic approval, would need to swap these out for higher level approval. You could also drop your thigs just a touch, this will reduce the large gap at the knees Drop boxes should align with the ends of the plastic belt section, keep an eye on this when kitted up, a full length mirror helps Backplate is overlapping the kidney, you may be able to bring the backplate up a little, depending on how much room you have around your neck/shoulders Also watch the rotation of your biceps and forearms, Note bicep coverstrips should face to the front Just a few tweaks and you should be good to go, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK 17654[TK] Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 So the bottom of the backplate should line up with the top of the kidney plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decreased the curve of my shoulder straps to lift that up a bit and will possibly shorten my front elastics and lengthen the rear ones on the chest piece/back plate which may also bring my shoulder bells forward a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxb3[TK] Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Minor dressing issue before you submit photos: Looks like you're wearing your biceps backwards. The bicep with the "thumbprint" goes on the left. Check your forearms too. Should be 11 divots on the left, 12 on the right. You may have just swapped up your arms when kitting up. Look forward to meeting you here in GA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
