Well, Germain, I can say I have been looking forward to this for a long time!!! Thank you for your application! Let's look at your armor!

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

I will go forward with the full review. Please take and post a shot of your hovi tips close-up. I can see that you properly replaced the ones that originally came with the AP kit, but it is a required photo. 

Your body type paired with your skill and attention to detail really make your armor look awesome!! Little details make this a joy to look at: perfect ears, return edge seam alignment, top class handpainted details,...nice!  Your armor contains all the required features for EIB.

With that said, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry!

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

This is a section where myself and fellow troopers make suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. These suggestions will not affect your applications.

There is not a whole lot of things I can contribute to this section and that is a good thing!  The only comment I would have is actually in regards to your blaster and holster. Your scope rail boarderlines an being a tad high off the main receiver and the front caps and nuts on the power cylinders are big. Here is a comparison to what I see:  Cylinders used for the film:post-12041-0-79395800-1410800678_thumb.jpg  and yours:15178976691_d94a354430_b.jpg  the other item is the "stitchyness" of your holster. Typically, the holsters only had stitching on the one side where the leather was folded over and bound. post-12041-0-41419000-1410801299_thumb.jpg With your great attention to detail, these little things surprised me but don't take away from the overall build.  Great job also conquering the notorious AP sniper!!

 

Centurion Suggestions:

Unless your complete Centurion photo page shows a detail not seen here, I don't see anything that would keep Centurion from you.  Nice work incorporating the notch into the kidney!

 

Congratulations again!!! Well done!

Thank you very much sir  :salute: !

 

About the remarks you did on my power cylinders, scope rail and holster i can only agree with you. Actually i can explain these by the fact i bought and assembled them before i became that old accuracy hag i am now  :P.

 

I will try to get you a close-up pic of my mic tips asap. Unfortunately, i don't have my helmet at hand right now so it will most likely have to wait for this WE before i can get it.

Congrats and welcome to the ranks trooper

Congratulations Germain. Well deserved, and thanks for being that attention to detail hag that you are, otherwise I may still have had an upside down bayonet lug on my E-11.
