  1. Hi David, welcome to FISD. looking forward for your photos. We are here to help
  2. Welcome to FISD Jake, good luck with your project
  3. Hi C. my opinion: i would go for the gloves that fit better to my fingers. the forearms cover enough and this wouldn't be an issue. and as @gmrhodes13 Glenn pointed, consider wear cotton liners inside, believe me , your hands get pretty sweaty in rubber gloves

  5. Congratulations Colin. !!!
  6. Glad to read the info is being useful . About your question, Yes, the arms are effectively different each other, I'm not an armor origin expert but as I have read, the screen used armors helmets and pieces where asymmetric and had some bumpy and wonkiness. So read carefully to match each one. Cheers and looking forward for your advances.
  7. Hi Justin. You're welcome. We are here to serve! Only points 7, 8 and 9 are mandatory for L3. Your girl is doing a great Photography work. Cheers mate!
  8. Hi Rob, great work with those shins. For the "mobility cuts" the crl states for level 3 : " Any mobility cuts on back of piece do not go past raised ridges." consider this when trimming if neccesary. Reference images- Note that the top of the ridge is present About the Sniper knee trimming. here is a suggested trimming from Joseph's Return Edges Post. Sniper knee plate The bottom of this piece is an area often not trimmed enough. To allow it to sit flat (or very close to flat) against the top of the calf enough for the glue to adhere properly I suggest removing most if not all of the bottom edge. Note how in the first and third photos how the sniper knee is parallel to the front of the calf. Cheers
  9. Hola Sergio !! Que bueno ver tu solicitud para CenturiĆ³n tan pronto. Tu casco quedĆ³ genial. Mientras el D.O. inicia tu revisiĆ³n, te agradecemos puedas incluir al inicio de esta solicitud el link a tu Solicitud EIB. Saludos y Buena suerte!! Hi Sergio!! Great to see your Centurion request so soon. Your helmet looks amazing. Meanwhile the D.O. start your review, could you please add the link to your EIB approval at the top post ? Cheers and good luck. !!
  10. Congratulations !! now let's the game begin!! Remember "Measure twice, cut once". CRL and reference photos.
  11. Hi Justin, 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 armour. Another EIB star for you mate!! Well done. It's always great to follow one of your build threads. ok, Let's start from Helmet 1- Mine is an Anovos helmet too and due to they come pre assembled it's not easy to correct the ears screws alignment, It's mentioned here for you to consider for a future fix. Reference Images 2- Carefully removing a bit paint to the vocoder will make your helmet to look finest. Reference Images 3- A few issues with your arms that should be pretty straightforward to fix with some strapping adjustments. You have quite a gap between the end of the forearm and hand guards, dropping the biceps and forearms an inch or so would greatly reduce that and will give you that cool ESB Look . Reference Images 4- Ideally, the screws of the Thermal detonator sit closer to the end of the clips. This is not a big deal and would involve trimming or replacing the clips. We consider it's worth mentioning. Reference Images 6- We noticed that your left thigh is a bit higher than the right one and thsi is causing an overlapping to your lower armor section. loosing a bit yor thight strap would help to release these issue. Reference Images 6- Your lower armor section is tending to raise and as noted before it's overlapping your thigh. You may want to check the strapping that attaches the butt plate to the kidney plate, looks like that could be readjusted and tightened up a bit to allow the armor to sit better Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we preparļ»æe you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion 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 seļ»æe, but the final accuracy iļ»æs the responsibility of ļ»æthe trooļ»æpeļ»ærļ»æ.ļ»æļ»æļ»æļ»æ 1- CRL L3: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. As the CRL states for level 3 , there should be minimal space between the shoulder bells and the chest armor. (Although not specifically mentioned), the tops of the shoulder bells should touch (or be very close to) the shoulder bridges. In your case it seems that it is a matter of shortening the elastics of the connection between these. Also, you can trim all the return edges from the bottoms of the Shoulder Bells to have more room. Reference Images 2 CRL L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. This is just dressing issues that can be easily fixed with a straps adjustment in both sides to align and close tha gaps. Reference Images 3- Even though your blaster is ESB correct one, We found that for some reason the cocking handle was removed. For level 3 you will need to add it or replace the blaster. Reference Images *************************************************** And that's all Justin. congratulations again and we are complete sure that you can go the next mile for the highest level .
  12. Congratulations Trooper , Welcome to EIB !!!
  13. Also you can check this old thread
  14. Hi JP, if i can suggest something, I think you could try enlarging the white elastic that connect the Chest to Back section, this will allow the back to get lower a bit. Hope this can Help. If you can, post some photos .
  15. Welcome to FISD Paul, cool boots !!
  16. This is a new photo showing the small square os ABS.
  17. Thank you Justin, I have seen some of your build threads and know you are a hard working trooper and always looking for excellence.
  18. Hi Justin, I would suggest , for ensure the best look to your L2 ESB TK , (the same Glen has pointed), to just make a cut to match the left one. Thank you mate.
  19. The same as you did. a small square of ABS on top the front cover strip (in between the cover strip and Sniper knee). Sorry, it's not noticeable in the pics. Keep on doing a great work trooper !
  20. Congratulations Trooper, welcome to EIB.
  21. Hi Justin, I'm working on your request for EIB and before we can move on with your review, a quick fix to your right thigh front cover strip is needed. Crl for Basic Level states: Thigh Armor : Cover strip must end at the top of lower ridge in front and back. It looks like your right thigh front cover strip end exceeds the lower ridge. easy fix. Reference Images Thank you.
  22. Great ! Thank you
