These photos are much better. looks great. I see a few issues for the L2/L3 but mainly has to do with trim and armor placement. You should be able to nail basic without any issues. but if something does come up, let us know and we can help you fix it. The GMLs are generally pretty good about telling you not only what to fix, but how. if you are in contact with your GML, could even help to shoot him over some photos before submitting and he/she can tell you if anything stands out right away.

Exactly! the things being looked at are the spacing of the clips, there should be little to no space between the clip and the end caps, and the screws should be pan head and painted black. that looks pretty good to me. If you can get that left clip closer then the better. but ultimately that will be up to the ones deciding your L2/L3 approvals.

@Rookie501 this is that thread

I personally would feel that this falls exactly in line with screen shots of screen used armor, and think that should be acceptable. But I will refer to @justjoseph63 or @ukswrath as they will be the ones to approve or deny due to this. I will say though that I can suggest if it worries you that much, let it be for now, then when you are going to take submission photos for approval/EIB/Centurion, lay down a coat of paint on them making them fresh for the photos. shouldn't hurt at all!

TD looks great! if you don't mind, can you specify which screws you are talking about please? some paint rub isn't really a bad thing as it kinda falls under weathering, but if the paint completely comes off, it will need to be redone

Also, the other things that kinda stuck out to me that may not have been mentioned, and for your furtherance into L2/L3 is your Hovi Tips, they should be white interior with white around the rim to show wear. As far as I can tell, your belt looks great. the TD (thermal Detonator) photo should actually be showing the connections of the clips to the TD, ie the screws used. the should be pan head screws that are black/painted. the placement of the clips looks to be right from what I can see, but that underside photo will be key for that portion of the approval (again this is for L2/L3). if you have any other questions or concerns, or get kicked back for whatever reason, have no fear/worry, we are here to help you and get you approved!

Winston, you have done great so far. If I might add one thing to what has already been said, and something you hit on. If you can get in contact with a garrison member, someone close to you, to help with you photos, that will make a big difference. That person will most likely already be approved and will know exactly what to look for. I got lucky as my wife is a theater teacher and has an eye for detail, so I told her all the things to look for that might be wrong, or need slight adjustments for photos, and she was on it. Having a trooper help you out could be huge because you wont be able to exactly tell whats wrong until you look at the pics. That person being there could fix it before the photo is taken, and thus save you a little bit of time and get your submission in. We will be waiting excitedly for your announcement of acceptance and your further process to begin your L2/L3 application

EIB has been submitted. Thanks for your vote of confidence and I hope to reach Centurion soon!

Thank you!

I say yes to all, except for the return edges. maybe stating "some return edge is acceptable" L2. there are obvious signs of it where the ridge is on the forearms

Thanks, i honestly worked harder on them than i should have

This was my thought. which is why I think, and I know it will be hard, but that we would maybe need multiple counts of evidence to say its Cannon.

Agreed.

This is good enough for me. I think the snap should be allowed. also , in the last photo you posted it looks like a rivet in the knee that is not a pop rivet.

ah yes sorry about that. I was reading over the EIB submission and it was talking about the sniper knee. merged the 2 in my mind lol. ill look into the ammo pack as well, but I would assume they didn't use the pop rivets.

I am not able to see the Rivet discussion because it shows I don't have the permission

So I think that the photos speak for themselves, the rivets are there (shoulders), and should be covered under the CRL. as far as the sniper knee goes, is there any evidence of this, and was this widely used, or just a quick fix for a trooper with an armor issue. I think we should try and find at least 3 instances of that build technique being used to say that it was a common practice within the build of the armor itself. Just as there are tons of variations with ANH, but the large majority is what the CRL follows. Do we have any screen shots plus prop shots we can base it off of?

yep, Yoda Man! hahahahaha! sorry had to go there. your build is looking great and coming along smoothly it seems. keep up the great work and keep those photos coming!

I have an animated Clone Commander (Gree) and have my Tie Pilot armor on order, so ill have enough to keep me busy for the year, I think lol

Haha, thanks all. and no its been there. but its not as flashy as others. I am waiting to get photos and stuff done to post them up there

Cant believe how long it has taken me to get here. and what a crazy ride its been. But got 3 costumes approved in less than 2 weeks. that felt great. Now time for EIB and Centurion!

THANK GOD!!!

@justjoseph63 what do you think?

Only thing I can see, and it will be for the next level (Centurion) which I hope your going for, is your back plate is sitting too high, and leaves a rather large gap. That will have to be closed up. Other than that you look great and should be an easy pass for EIB
