Congratulations Brian, Welcome to the ranks. Looking forward to your EIB approval

Hi Brent @Brent Seymour, Thank you for embedding the photos, it makes things alot easier for reviewing but also as future reference for other troopers. Before going ahead, could you please add the following photos for me? 1. Close up of the wrist side openings of the fore arms. Like the photo below 2. A photo showing the flexibility of the hand plates like the one below 3. A close up of your abdominal armour button plates. 4. A close up of the ab and kidney rivets. 5. A photo showing the measurements of your thermal detonator as mentioned by @gmrhodes13 above

@Brent Seymour Hi Brent, I will be doing your EIB review. If you could please put the photos directly into the application, rather than just links to the photos, that would be great. To do this, instead of selecting image link from Imgur, sel;ect direct link and paste that onto your application. It will then show the actual photo instead of a link. Thanks

Hello Hiroyuki. Welcome to the FISD. I am looking forward to your build.

Hi Shane, Thank you for your EIB application. I will be handling your review and will just need a few more photos before going ahead.

Hello Olaf, Thank you for your patience while we looked over you EIB application. We have looked at your costume and will require a few corrections before we will be able to grant your EIB status. Please feel free to reach out if you need any advice with the modifications. 1. For the shoulder straps; The shoulder straps do not overlap the tabs on the top of the back plate. This may be corrected by shortening the elastics connecting the chest and back plates over the shoulders to bring the back piece up, provided that there is room in the butt plate area to accommodate this. If not, the shoulder straps may need to be removed and reattached slightly higher on the chest plate or possibly replaced with a longer set. References 2. For the abdominal armour; The gap between the abdomen armour and the kidney armour should be no more than 1/2". You already have a shim in place, but it will need to be a bit longer. Please note as well, that if you are aiming for level 3 approval, the gap will need to be completely closed. L2:Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. References With respect to the shims, they should be flush with the kidney armour and not glued to the underside. A new shim will need to be placed butting up against the kidney armour to provide a smooth transition. A piece of ABS should then be placed on the inside to provide backing and support. L2: Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the abdomen and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed. 3. For the thermal detonator; We will need a few adjustments on your thermal detonator. With respect to the screws, they do appear to have been painted black but most of the paint seems to have chipped off. A few minutes with some black paint should do the trick. L2: Clips shall be attached with slotted type, flat or dome top style screws, and be black (two per clip). References Also with your thermal detonator, the clip ends appear to be raised where they meet the control panel. These should sit flush. This can be corrected by carefully bending the ends slightly for a tighter fit with the edge sitting right against the control panel. L2:Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps. References 4. For your blaster; We will require you to do a bit more sanding and refinishing as there are still some visible print lines which are not allowed for level 2. L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. As a final note, when dressing, try to ensure that the gap between the biceps and elbow is the same as the gap between the forearm and hand guard. On your submission photos, your right forearm is shifted up and your left biceps and left forearm are sitting low. You may need to make a few strapping adjustments to correct this.

Looks pretty good so far, your helmet is sitting a bit too high however. You may want to remove some of the padding from the top to get it to sit closer to the shoulders. References If you are thinking of higher level approval, you may want to bring your belt up slightly so it sits just above the bottom of the lowest button on the ab plate. I use velcro on mine to hold it in place. References

Congratulations

Hello Torsten. Welcome.

Congrats Matt. Well done.

Hi Steve. Welcome aboard. Here are some great references for building your armour , strapping and all. If you are thinking of making the kit into a sand trooper, they would fall under the Mos Easley Police Department detachment (MEPD)

Congratulations Carter. Welcome to the ranks.
