Everything else looks fine to me for a first level pass. Is that butt plate a hard fail? Trying to get this approved today if possible as it is his birthday today. Link to comment

Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 i have seen this issue with TKs and it often came down to having a butt vs cut of the armor. Got a TK here that cannot get his to lay flat on him no matter what. 2 Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Looking at it again I think I was confusing the back pouch for a shim. That pouch should be further on the right instead of in the middle. Details a little hard to see but I don't believe that posterior armor is an issue. 1 Link to comment
Scottdm62[TX] Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 I’m going to give him back the feedback and tell him to fix it before trooping but going to go ahead and pass. 1 Link to comment

nanotek[CMD-DWM] Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'm not sure what is going on as the quality of the pics is pretty poor. Yep the pouch should be more to the right, but I cannot see the TD plate properly. There is supposed to be a recessed inverted V section visible on the back just about the TD. It looks like this part is obscured. I suspect the ab will not be visible either, which it should be but you cannot tell because of the specialist rig over the top. 1 Link to comment

I’ll get better photos for curiosity sake. Thanks guys. Link to comment

Chaos[CMD-DCA] Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thanks for posting the pictures. My first advice would be to lose the "Specialist" items, they are not needed for approval and muddles the view of the rest of the armor. 1. Biceps are too low so they bind down on the forearms. Also looks like he might be able to trim back the forearms one ladder rung. They appear a little long for his forearms. 2. Not sure if the lighter color pouch on his left side is the leather one, if so it's too big, if it is the canvas pouch, the color looks off (another reason to lose the chest rig and pauldron) 3. The spacing of the back armor needs adjustment. The butt plate needs to come down so that the bottom edge is lined up with his (___|___) buttline. That should allow more room to allow more of the kidney plate to show. 4. Belt canvas pouch alignment, the CRL photos perfect for getting positions correct. 5. Under suits knee gaskets need tightening up, the bunched up gaskets give the appearance of improper fitment. 6. Boot lace covers need to be tucked under his shins. Velcro on the inside front of the shins and the top of the boot covers will help keep them tucked in. That's all I can see from the photos. Get him to take the correct posed approval photos (front, back, left, and right with arms down and up) without the Specialist items. He's almost there, just a couple of issues. 1 1 Link to comment
