Red5[501st] Posted December 12, 2013 Report Posted December 12, 2013 Dutch Garrison is on a roll! Good luck bro! Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted December 12, 2013 Report Posted December 12, 2013 Looking good! Good luck ! The only few things i would improve for EIB: - If you could bring your thighs up i think it would be a good thing. Even though you don't seem to have much room in the back so it might not be possible. - Also I think you will be ask to repaint your ab buttons, right now they're a bit too little Reference: And yes, for Centurion you will be asked to move the holster snaps to the 1/3 inferior of the belt.

gazmosis[501st] Posted December 12, 2013 Report Posted December 12, 2013 Heat up a nail and drag it across the cut line of your elastic. Trim off the fray first. It will prevent it from fraying further Quote
Artstar Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 Legs are a little higher then the first photos.. Wasnt wearing a belt for my thighs then.. Fixed them the day after that photo was taken.. On this photo im the TK on the Right side RS propmasters painted the buttons.. Dont know why so small but i heard more troopers having it with there armors.. Quote

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 Hey Artie, Your armor looks good and you're really close to EIB after fixing a few minor things. CRL Related It looks like one of your side gaps are larger than 1/2". In the photos I can only see your right side. Your left side gap is obscured by your arm. Please retake both photos once you eliminate the gap. Other Please retake all of your full body photos with your holster attached and your thighs moved up. Ensure your arms are at your sides in the photo of your front. This is a really minor and stupid thing but when you retake the photos ensure your undersuit isn't bunched at the elbows. Your ab buttons do indeed need a little more paint. See this post with reference photos. (I should really make this a CRL item somehow given how often it occurs) Centurion Suggestions Your holster rivets should be moved down. The blaster needs a cocking handle. I'll get back to you on the length of the clip. Ensure the outer edges of your drop boxes are vertically aligned with edges of the plastic belt. Take a few closeup photos of your thigh back and sniper knee. Thanks! -Eric Quote

roguewedge[501st] Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Looking good my man! a suggestion: your right ab- and back plates shows a gap, where your left ab- and back plates overlap. you might want to look into that. At the minumun, trim off the overlap on the left a bit. (yes, it scary to cut your armor, but trust me, it will look so much better) also, please make sure that your ab- and back plates align at the top. other then that! go DG! Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 Alright Artie!! Welcome back and congrats on the approvals of your other costumes AWESOME photos at the end there!! *Note* Artie originally applied for EIB back in Dec of 2013. There were some issues that needed to be addressed as well as a slight re-organization of his application pictures. Thank you for working with me on this so we can finally move forward!!!! Now let's look at your armor!!!!! CRL and EIB Requirements: ​Darth Aloha's original assessment noting excessive side gaps has been resolved. You have successfully reduced yourself to eliminate that! Congrats!!!! There were several blasters pictured with some issues. A single blaster was chosen to represent with and an incredible one it is! You armor reflects all necessary elements for EIB. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EIB!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section, myself and your fellow troopers make suggestions toward improving the over all look/fit of your armor. Unless stated specifically, no suggestions here will affect any application. Twan mentioned this above and cannot agree with him more; your kidney and ab tops are very far out of alignment. I am not saying they have to make a perfect line across the top, but they need to be adjusted to align better than you have it pictured. This point will be brought up again in "Centurion Suggestions" below. I love your natural weathering!! Looks very authentic! It is not possible without replacing your belt to fix this next point. The rivet position on the outer most portion of the belt should be placed so the rivet cover sits just off the edge of the belt. I changed the right one on this pic so you can see the comparison of what I am talking about: I will say again how nice your blaster is. It can be nicer if you added a little weathering and silver details that are present on the real Sterlings specifically around the trigger group like this: Something else that Eric brought up in the original assessment was the location of your holster strap mounts on your belt. I agree they are too high. They should be within the lower half of the belt however, unless you replaced your belt which I am not going to make you do, this cannot be repaired unless someone has come up with a genius way to repair fabric so that it's undetectable. If you wanted to take your accuracy one step further, you could dab a little black on those thermal detonator screws. Centurion Suggestions: There are a couple things I'd like to see done before you apply for this badge. I will bring up the alignment of your ab and kidney tops. This needs to be remedied somehow. While we are on the subject of your sides, CONGRATS again on the reduction of YOU! Now, you have some unnecessary overlap on your left side that can be trimmed away to bring the rivets closer to their proper locations.I marked it in red: The male snap on your right side ab corner and your crotch rivet will need the paint removed. These were not painted. I went through basically every frame of the photo references to see if there was a screen trooper that had the tape like you have on the left side of your chest. I could not find one. If in fact these are repairs, you should strengthen these from the backside by whatever means you want: Poorman's fiberglass (t-shirt/superglue) extra plastic reinforcement or whatever. But those areas need to be cleaned up on the surface. If you do decide to move forward with a Centurion application, you will need a new back pic showing your armor with your holster attached. Congratulations again, Artie!!!! Quote
