gazmosis[501st] Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 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: and yours: 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. 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! Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted September 15, 2014 Author Report Posted September 15, 2014 Thank you very much sir ! 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 . 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. Quote

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 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. Quote
