Hi Eric, 

 

Thank you for your application.  I have put you in the queue and will be with you as soon as possible.

Hi Eric  @0megaRed

 

Great to see your centurion application. 

 

Before going ahead with the approval however, we are going to need a few minor modifications.

 

Your shoulder bells are sitting a bit off from your shoulder bridges.  We would like to see this gap reduced to almost nothing.  It appears that your shoulder elastic (the white one under the bridge) is being pulled out some by the shoulder bell.  I had the same issue with mine and solved it by adding some velcro between the shoulder bridge and elastic.  This may correct the gap.  If it does not however, then a slightly shorter elastic between the shoulder bell and shoulder bridge, or moving the snap on the shoulder bridge elastic in will correct the problem.

On your left thigh, the cover strip is a bit longer than the one on your right and covers the raised area at the top of the shin slightly.  A quick trim off of the top of the left cover strip to match the right one will make the costume look even better.

One final suggestion is with your under suit.  It appears to be gathering and bunching in the arms a fair bit.  ideally this should be tightly fitting and smooth.  It may be as simple as pulling the arms down from the wrists once the arm armour is in place, or possibly going down a size (my under suit is 2 sizes smaller than what I would normally wear to get it skin tight).

Sharp eye Doggydoc!

I just noticed those 'issues' while reading your post. Thanks!

 

I'll work on them and replace the pictures in my top post.

Replaced picture 1 and 2 in my initial post to show the following modifications:
 - Reduced gap on shoulder bells, and hidding of white elastics,
 - Trimmed left shin back coverstrip, like right side,
 - Removed 'bunching' in elbow area.

Wow! Thanks team!

It's an honor to be in the 500's!

 

This has been a great learning experience and got me more confident in tackling armor modifications, it also opened my eyes to the smaller details.

 

Thanks again!
