Hi Chris, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Great job with the required fixes brother. Next we have some suggestions for you to check. Let's start from top. The helmet looks like you're wearing a bit too high. If possible, we recommend that you remove some of the inner padding of the helmet (upper area) so that it sits a little lower Reference Images Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we are able to clearly seļ»æe, but the final accuracy iļ»æs the responsibility of ļ»æthe trooļ»æpeļ»ærļ»æ. ļ»æCRL L2: Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek. This is a requirement for Level 2, but since yours are somewhat close( the right side is perfect) we are allowing this for Level 2 and moving it to Centurion. Reference Images CRL special note: Armor is scaled proportionately to the wearer. Looking at your forearms, they seem too wide. I've made this modification for Garrison's buddies by removing the cover strips (sometimes just the rear one), trimming the forearm a little, and re-gluing the cover strip. Reference Images CRL L3: Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button. This one is an easy fix, just a painting session to add a little more paint to the edges to cover the raised section. Reference Images For accuracy , you may want to trim the return edge on your small ab buttons plate to get it flat. Reference images CRL L3: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. In looking at the reference images below, we are asking that you raise it a little to at least cover more of the bottom of the ab-button plate(s). Ideally it should touch (or even overlap a bit) the bottom button(s). Reference Images CRL for BASIC : The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width. Looking at your Thermal Detonator and comparing it to the reference image, you will nee to reduce the endcaps width and the pipe size to get a more accurate look sir. You may want to check the above CRL reference dimensions. Reference Images CRL L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor Perhaps , Just a little strapping adjustment could do the job here. Reference Images CRL L3: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. As you can se bellow, the drop boxes are overlapping a little the ABS belt. It looks like you need to lower down the elastic strap. Reference Images CRL L3: Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching. You may want to replace the plastic hand plates for the more accurate ones requested by the crl. Reference Images CRL L3: The blaster may have minor weathering or base metal exposure however, T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed. Just take in account to give a black paint coat to the T-tracks as per the CRL requirement. Reference Images And that's all trooper. Congratulations for your EIB badge!!! We are confident that you'll go above a beyond with the fixes to reach the next level. Remember to request your EIB certificate HERE . -

Hi Chris, We're almost ready to place that EIB badge under your name Trooper. I'll need you to do a final effort to complete this stage: 1- Vocoder paint check. Checking with the team, we're not sure if this is a lighting effect, but it looks like your vocoder has a different shade of paint. It looks shiny in the upper section and flat in the lower section. Could you please check it out and let us know? Reference Images 2- CRL L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. There are some minimal but visible 3d printing lines that you will need to refine according to the CRL and the team noted a groove in the end cap that shouldn't be there , this could be solved by filling that gap , sand and paint. Reference Images Thanks you again for your effort and patience. -

Hi Chris, Sorry for the delay, they have been quite a few days of work for me. But I'm already working on your review. thank you for your patience. Meanwhile , I will need you to make a little fix to your helmet brother. CRL for basic: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. This is a few minutes painting session and you can use a toothpick with non acetone paint remover to refine the teeth shape for the vocoder. Reference Images. Thank you -

Hi Torben, What comes to my mind as a solution for your TD to actually get the Basic (L2 and L3 accuracy) would be a 3 steps fix. CRL Basic Level : The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. 1- Remove the Buttons plate 2- Trim the Clips (Drill new holes on metal) and rotate the pvc pipe downwards so you don't need to drill new holes on it. 3- Place the Buttons panel on the correct position Some references on how the TD would look when wearing it.
