Congrats on 75 Jonatan. You beat me to this milestone this time around. Now let’s race to 100.

Congratulations.

Welcome David.

@TheRascalKing Hi Justin, Congratulations again. Do we have your permission to post your approval on FISD social media?

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 armor, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. When kitting up, make sure to pay attention to where your belt is sitting to ensure that it is covering the lower tabs of the abdomen. References With respect to your under suit, there are areas where it is appearing to be wrinkled. A tighter fit would improve the screen accuracy. References Your blaster looks great but there are a few details seen on the screen used ones that you may want to add. On the right side of the blaster, there are some white line details. Reference On the left side of the blaster, the mounting plate details should be silver. Reference The sight at the front of the barrel should also be silver Reference *************************************************** 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 see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. For Centurion Approval, we would need to have the fabric elbow and knee gaskets changed out for rubber ones. CRL L3: Gaskets shall be made of rubber. Fabric gaskets are not acceptable.

Troop 73 London, Ontario November 23, 2024 Geeky Holiday Market This is a holiday market put on by the London comicon group with all things pop culture to buy. The troop was in support of the London Childrens Health Network.

Hello David, Welcome

Troop 72 Mississauga, Ontario November 16, 2024 Bricks in the Six Day 2 Back to the Lego exhibit for day 2. 3rd troop in 2 days. My legs were pretty tired.

Troop 71 Cambridge, Ontario November 16, 2024 Cambridge Santa Clause Parade This is my 3rd time doing this parade. I wen’t straight from the troop earlier in the day to this one as I didn’t want to miss it. Apparently this mandalorian found the droid I was looking for.

Troop 70 Mississauga, Ontario November 16, 2024 Bricks in the Six Day 1 This was the first day of a 2 day Lego exhibition. I am really going to have to print myself a Lego E 11 and thermal detonator for these events. Checking out some of the displays with the boss. They really have strange speeder bikes on this planet.

Congratulations James.

Hi Brent, Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your EIB application. Your armour looks great but there are a few things we are going to need to be fixed to get it to EIB level approval. Lets start at the top and work our way down. Please feel free to reach out or ask questions if you need to. Everyone is here to help and wants to see you succeed. Helmet Your helmet looks great, but we are going to ask for an adjustment to your vocoder paint job to make it look more screen accurate. This should be a pretty quick and easy fix. References Shoulder straps Your shoulder straps appear to be uneven when viewed from behind and from the side, the right side has the proper curve to allow it to sit flat on the back armour plate but the left side is a bit too straight. A bit of time with a hot water bath will help to curve the left side to match the right side. References You may also consider trimming all or a portion of the large tabs off the back of the shoulder straps. This is not mentioned in the CRL but is highly recommended for a more screen accurate look. References Posterior Armour Your posterior armour is dropping away from the kidney armour in the front corners and is flaring out at the sides. We would like to see it hug your body a bit closer and follow the line of the back armour. Some strapping in the area shown below should correct the issue . A bit of a warm water bath may also be needed if the kidney armour needs some shaping. References Many troopers have opted for V tabs to help hold the alignment between the posterior and kidney armour pieces. Thermal Detonator Your thermal detonator control panel is facing a bit too much upward instead of to the back. This can be corrected by carefully unrolling the lower portion of the clips to roll the thermal detonator down. CRL L1: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. References We will also need you to make some size adjustments to your thermal detonator as the overall length as well as the length of the control panel are about 2 cm too long. You can achieve this by carefully removing the control panel and trimming it in the area shown to remove about 20 mm. For the overall length, if you remove the end cap on the side opposite the circle detail on the control panel and trim the grey pipe back about 20 mm, this should allow the end cap to now cover the hole in the pipe from the bracket and make the detonator the correct size. Lower leg armour CRL L1: The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm), End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width. References The screw type attaching your clip to the thermal detonator are not the correct type and should be changed for the correct ones. References Lower leg armour Your shins are closed in the back with the inside portion overlapping the outside. This should be reversed as mentioned above by @gmrhodes13 References For your Sniper knee plate, the edges along the back portion should be angled and not curved for a more screen accurate look. This should be a fairly easy trimming job. References Blaster Your blaster details look great but unfortunately there are still some print lines visible. We will need you to do a bit of sanding and refinishing before approving you for EIB. CRL L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. Your magazine is a bit longer than those seen on screen. Removing the end plate and trimming it back, should correct the issue. For 3D print files, the files on thingiverse and printables created by Bryan Roller have a shortened version of the magazine that can be printed. In addition, it appears that your Hengstler counter is positione a bit low as it appears to be touching the rail of the folding stock. References

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
