I'll look into the brow trim. It was the u shaped needed. But I can look into a other trim if need be. But I'll leave it as of now:) thanks for the input

[Stormy1992]

The brow from needs to be bigger you mean? From the lip to the top?

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Yes, it needs to be higher, from the bottom to the top. Here's a link:

Thanks I'll get on it:)

Update: I meansured the brow trim, it sits on a half and inch. The one off TrooperBay says "just over a half inch" other sources say a half inch also. It may just look small in the images but it seems of correct size

I just measured the brow trim I got from Trooperbay 2 weeks ago. It's exactly 15 millimeters or 19/32 inch. So yep just a smidge over a half an inch. This seems to be a standard width. It's what I also measure on a SDS Battle Spec and eFx ANH PCR.

Well I'll keep the one I have unless I completely need to swap it.

Then, it might just be me. I was under the impression it was too narrow

This is a well known shot of a portion of the helmets created for ANH the vast majority of which have 4 teeth cut out.  There are a couple 3 tooth and 5 tooth. As we know, MOST of the three toothed helmets ended up Heros. The others, including the 5 toothed helmets are considered anomalies. Your 4 tooth approach was the way to go.

To clarify, I don't ever remember mentioning 5 tooth as anything but an anomaly. I would not recommend it for EIB or Centurion.

 

So, is a 5 tooth (10 total as Kyle has done) approvable for basic?

The CRL is pretty specific about this for ANH Stunt with 8 total.

[Stormy1992]

Bryan, i see in that original photo top right bucket having 5 cut out.. Im going for EIB. Since the orginal photo has 5 cut out, wouldnt it be Acceptable? there are other cases of 5 cut out being shown. 

[Stormy1992]

3 buckets, 2nd row from the top all the way right, and 2nd row from top 2nd to last bucket on the left. bottom row 2nd in from the left. all 5 cut out.

Bryan: don't do the 5 tooth frown unless you have two buckets. Basic approval will be based on the 4 tooth frown

Steve,

I'm the GML at Bloodfin, so I'm asking from the approval standpoint, as Kyle would be sending his application in through me.

I was under the impression that 4 teeth were the requirement per CRL for Stunt (EIB or Centurion not withstanding).

Question on the Biceps is there an outer and inner? seems to be.. may i ask which? thanks! 

[I'm Batman[501st]]

Top two pics are the inner parts

[Stormy1992]

Well correct, I guess I worded it wrong. Is there a correct side. One side is different than the other, which seam goes in front and in back. Took a picture of both sides so you could tell.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

This should help you

 

[I'm Batman[501st]]

Thanks Glen. I was looking for that picture but couldn't find it

[Stormy1992]

Thanks guys!!

[Stormy1992]

Alright, my forarems are correct (with the right being different from the left) but it seems I have the same inner bicept pieces. The one shown on the left in the given image. The ones I provided are the same for each arm. However the left to the right inner bicept piece is different on each side of the SAME side arm; which goes in the front and back seam? Thanks!

 

Hope it makes sense:)
