gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Nice work Terry, a couple of things, these will be more for the higher levels. Belt is just over the bottom button, should be just below. Shoulder straps to shoulder bells different gaps, left side touching, right side has a gap, also depending on how much gap on the side you could curve these, reference below.. Bunching of undersuit between shoulder bells and chest. Different forearm to wrist gaps. Thighs hitting cod. Twist on thigh ammo strip, this should be fine but I'd probably straighten a little, but that's me . Rotate left thigh so aligns with shin. Drop box not aligned with the end of the plastic belt. Can see part of a logo on your pants. Note the angle of your plastic belt and fabric belt, should follow the same angle. Note on this side the belt angle is better, also drop box is aligned correct. Small gap between ab and kidney plates, tighter strapping may help. I can also see one of your V tabs on top of the kidney I can't quite make out your rear shoulder straps so can't comment on their fitment. Generally on the front of the chest the shoulder straps align, 1 large tab and 4 to 5 smaller tabs, not something that normally gets mentioned though. Helmet not central to backplate, also backplate sticking out on bottom right. Personally I think you will be fine for basic approval, depending on your GML of course. Just a few tweaks and you should be ready for higher levels. Good luck, hope to see you with a TKID very soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblcross Posted April 29 Author Report Share Posted April 29 Thanks! When I correct these issues do I need to replace these photos or just add more to the post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to, some do, if you keep the originals others may use them as a guide and then post new photos after the feedback. It's very hard to get everything sitting just right especially when you are in the armor, I find having a full length mirror handy or even checking the photos before undressing helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I tried! Don't worry! I'm working on the fixes now. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook1138[TK] Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Looks good. Like Glen mentioned, you should be good for basic approval depending on your GML. The belt height might be an issue… again, depending on your GML. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemi[Staff] Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Nice work Terry. Except for the few minor fixes that have been pointed out, I think you should be good for basic approval. I would like to add one thing(level 3). It might be the angle of the photo, but "the back edges of ammo pack need to be an equal distance from the "corners" of the ridge at the rear". Although it is not listed in the CRL, to keep "screen accuracy" and a better overall appearance, we always require it for level 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblcross Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 All of my fixes have been made. I'll have new photos tomorrow (plus some close-up shots to show more detail). Thanks for the input. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblcross Posted May 2 Author Report Share Posted May 2 Well, my photographer and spotter is totally exhausted being that she's a preschool teacher and they had field day today and she still has to finish off a couple of her kids projects at home. Me being a good husband knows better than to ask for her help right now, cause I'm helping her so we will have to wait for now! Which will only make it sweeter when I do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblcross Posted May 4 Author Report Share Posted May 4 OK, Here we go. First off @Chemi I need to correct my ammo pack like you said. but here are the other fixes plus some. @gmrhodes13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Looking better, you still have the issue with the belt on the sides, fabric should follow the angle of the plastic belt. Also noticed your thigh ammo strip is angled quite high. I still think your chest could come up a little, this would reduce the gap between the chest and backplate, giving you more overhang of the shoulder straps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got velcro and snaps on the back of the front to hold it. The chest should be easy, just make longer straps on the inside. Ammo belt, also easy thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
