[I'm Batman[501st]]

Looks awesome buddy! I think your detonator might be on upside down though....

[sskunky]

Cool.......

[starsaber25[Admin]]

Man that is awesome!  Good luck with your approval.

[Snaps[TK]]

That is beyond great! Good luck!

[toybiz[TK]]

Nice work, love the "damage" detailing. Good luck with the approval...

Alright Todd! This is a great one to add to the never ending growth of your costume collection!!! You should open a museum! 

Anyway, any EIB application needs to be complete with the correct set of required photos. Here is the list to reference:http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22583-expert-infantry-application-guidelines/

The Deathtrooper is just a rotted, blown apart version of the standard ANH Stunt armor. All CRL requirements for the construction should be present and documented.

A couple things I have noticed off the bat is the lack of bloodstains. I will go into total detail upon the application completion, but I would highly suggest you consider repairing your thermal detonator. Your control panel is upside down and there should be space between the outer caps and the control panel. Please go back over all the CRL requirements.  Congrats on this armor. This must have been a real challenge! 

[Toddo[TK]]

Thanks for the reply Steve.  I have already fixed the detonator.  I have to admit that everything looks off to me with the Deathtrooper, so I didn't notice my blunder with the TD.  How embarrassing   

 

Here are the other photos:

 

 

I think you can see the blood on the helmet.  Here is some on the forearm and on the abdomen:

 

I hope that does it.  Let me know what else you need to see.

[Toddo[TK]]

I repainted the gray on the cannister, trimmed the end caps to add space between them and the control plate, and dirtied everything back-up.

Hey Todd: We have finally arrived at the point that we can review yet another addition to your museum of costumes!! This one should be up front!!! Let's take a look!!!

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All required submission photos have now been posted.  The Death Trooper mostly appears as a costume of novelty. There have been some incredible examples floating around, but few cross these pages. Whatever level this costume is taken to takes incredible artistry. The damage, blood, and weathering needs to be done right or it just isn;t believable. In my opinion, you have nailed it. In reviewing other Death Troopers, and comparing them to yours, it is obvious that your goal was to duplicate the "Gentle Giant" statue.    Typically, the Death Trooper is seen as a gory mess. Your goal was a "less is more" approach. As you stated, your trooper has died from his chest blast wounds, but because of his mostly in tact helmet, he hasn't had the chance to "dine" on anyone nor has anyone "fed" on him. The lack of blood and duplication of the statue almost mark for mark emulates this perfectly.  From our standpoint here, I need to look at the technical aspect of the build. The DT armor was based on the ANH TK. As a result, the proper details must be contained. Two things stuck out to me: The multiple rank bars on the ears and your original thermal detonators. The rank bars I will look by in lieu of a Centurion application (which you have stated is NOT your intention). However, although both the rank bars and upside down and mostly solid thermal detonator are on the statue, I believe that these are both oversights on the part of the artist paying more attention to DT details than ANH Stunt details. You have repaired the thermal detonator to stick with the proper base construction of the costume and that was appreciated.

All that stated, I would like to congratulate you on yet another EIB!! Well done and well though out!!

 

Centurion Suggestions:

Although Todd has replaced mostly the entire costume with accepted armor parts, the FX torso still remains which makes this ineligible for Centurion. It was not Todd's intention but I needed to explain it anyway.   

Congratulations again!! Go scare someone!!!!!

[Toddo[TK]]

Thank-you so much Steve.  This is my 7th EIB award, and I'm as proud of it as I was my very first.  I can't wait to creep out some folks!

[Darth Aloha[Admin]]

Ok... so... HWT, Concept, and TKC are all you have left for EIB out of the 10 costumes in or detachment. That shouldn't be a problem for you at all.
