Congratulations Ivan welcome to EIB. Now, don't stop your goals, go for Centurion.!!

Great Mathew !!! Congratulations

Cool Peter, Good Luck

Hi David, as per the CRL states for leve 2 : OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. You must remove and level up your Sniper Knee to get it aligned Hope this can help Hola David, según el CRL para L2 el Sniper Knee debe estar alineado con los bordes de al pantorrilla, en tu caso debes subir el Sniper para alinearlo. Saludos

Congratulations for your trooping and ouch!! for the armor bites Now, you will have to check those parts that may need some trimming or straps adjustment. good luck!

You are Speedy Trooper Angel Great !!! Eres el Trooper Veloz Angel, Excelente !!

Looking Great Scott, Esay pass , looking fordward to see your TK ID soon.

Cool, Easy Basic pass mate !!

Once you have your TK ID you can apply for EIB Expert Infantry Badge befor you go for Centurion. This link can be usefull. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/95-expert-infantryman-program/ In this section you can review approved EIB applications and take some ideas what you must post and the common issues. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/19-request-expert-infantryman-status/ Heres another usefull info I have copied from the Detachment 's Newsletter So what exactly are EIB (Expert Infantry Badge) and Centurion levels? These programs were designed for those who choose to take their armor above and beyond the minimum requirements for basic 501st Legion approval. It gives you the chance to show a level of dedication and pride that takes your armor closer to being as "screen accurate" as possible, without as much extra work as you may realize! It also works on giving a better look to the Legion as an entity, and you can bet others will take notice of your hard work. The 501st has a list of detailed requirements for Basic approval, (level 1), EIB, (level 2) and Centurion, (level 3) which can be found here in the Costume Reference Library, (CRL) http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL Here are a few of the questions people may be wondering about: 1. "I am a (tall/short/heavy/thin) Trooper. Can I still apply? Of course! These programs are open and encouraged for all sizes of TKs, as long as the costume is correct and meets the guidelines. There are many specific build tutorials to every option, as well as a vast network of fellow TKs on the FISD to help you out and offer suggestions. 2. "How much extra will I have to pay for extra items"? The cost is actually quite reasonable, considering the few extra supplies you will need, which are listed in the requirements area. While it may run you a little more to implement these additions to your costume, they will go a long way to improving accuracy. All needed items can be found for sale on this thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/16-ongoing-sales-project-orders/ While blasters are not required for basic approval, for EIB and Centurion levels they are, and may need upgrades (also listed in the CRL). 3. "I haven't even got my kit yet, is it too early to start planning"? Actually, aiming for Centurion is easiest to do right out of the box. 4. "I have my basic TK approval, can I still get in these programs"? In a word... absolutely! 5. "Are there any "perks" to this extra work and cost"? Besides knowing that you have a great looking set of armor, the 501st and FISD believes you should be deservedly recognized for your achievement(s), and allows you to wear the appropriate embroidered "rocker" badge of rank (available for a very minimum cost) on your shirt, helmet bag, etc., as well as rank decals to put on your armor bin. You will also have access to select "challenge coin" runs, receive (free) a cool certificate for your new rank, and have your title posted below your name in your FISD signature. Plus, once you reach these levels, you will have the extra knowledge to help out those who are looking to apply as well. 6. "Is it hard to apply, and what happens then"? After basic approval, all you do is make sure your armor is up to the standards set forth in the CRL, post a thread with the required photos in the appropriate area (see below), and wait a bit for the D.O.s (Deployment Officers) to address it. (Hint: Studying other people's threads before you submit can be a GREAT help). These are also listed on the main page of the FISD site. While waiting for approval, you will get some comments from others who will offer suggestions and constructive advice to help you out. If you should need any changes, the DOs will let you know, so you can adjust accordingly. Don't be dismayed if you do need changes... it's all for your benefit! After you are approved for EIB, then you can submit for Centurion. EIB https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/19-request-expert-infantryman-status/ Centurion https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/72-request-centurion-status/ Just remember that the FISD is here to help you every step of the way with whatever other questions you may have, but if you can't seem to find what you are looking for in your research, just ask away here on the forum. hope this can help. cheers

Yes, to maintain the return edge at the elbow, Trim the wrist. I would recommend not trim till you have tested the complete arm asembled. this would prevent the forearms to be short and give you a bad look as if you were waering a small shirt. Cheers

Hi Jamie, looking great !! Easy pass.

Too easy for you Jose Luis !! Go there! Fácil para ti José Luis !!! Vamos !!

Great Albert, congratulations and welcome to the Legion

Almost there Angel. Your Centurion badge is waiting for You Sir. Ya casi Angel, Un poco y alcanzas la meta Centurion. Sr si Sr!!

Yes!! I agree . So usefull , thanks Joseph

Hi, Scott. You can trim all the return edge still a bit for more accuracy, and as you can see at the attached photo you can cut along the lower line. Once you test walking you're going to see if it fits correctly. Keep on doing a great job .

Have you ordered the split rivets for ab?

Hi Jonas, there's a lot of work ahead for you but I'm pretty sure you are in the best place to acomplish your project. About the strapping, I personally use a mix of both, Nylon and elastic, depending of wich armor section I need to be more fixed and wich one I need it to be more flexible. Example, I placed Nylon into the Ab-But connection, but use Elastic in the Chest- Ab connection to avoid any crack if I bend to give a hand to a child. I have learned this by reading the forum threads and by test and fails . good luck with your build and as you already know, there's a lot of experienced troopers here to help you. Cheers

Welcome Trooper!!

Welcome Aboard Trooper !! Now, Keep on continue Doing Good as a 501st member

Hi Christian, here are a couple of photos and charts that may help you. You can also search the build threads to have a better idea of what to do. Cheers Doble rivets https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/80-anh-build-threads/
