MechaPumpkin[TK] Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Easy pass! I'd wish you good luck, but you don't need it. Looking great! 1 Quote
Tusken RTT Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Awesome job! You could tighten up the left side rear strap between the back and kidney, to tighten up the gap, but the build looks really good! 1 Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Hey Phil! Thank you so much for your application for EIB. Your hard work has paid off so let's take a look!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted. Your armor and blaster contain all necessary elements to qualify for EIB. That said, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry!! Note: although Phil does have side gaps present, they are within allowable standards. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section I will go over observations made by both myself and your fellow troopers. Sometimes suggestions for adjustments and improvements are made. If any of these are required, those will be mentioned separately. You have done a great job! Any Garrison would be proud to have you representing them. We are proud to see your hard work and attention to detail pay off. Great adjustment to the back/kidney gap. For your Centurion pics, stand up really straight to eliminate all that remaining slight gap. If I was to make and "gun to my head" comment, it would be that you were slightly aggressive with the trimming of your belt corners. The vertical, outermost edge of your belt should roughly match the top to bottom width of the canvas belt. It is not extreme enough to require a change. Consider getting a little silver paint to weather your blaster a bit even if its around the edges and in the area around the trigger group. This really adds depth and realism to your weapon. As for fit, you have done an outstanding job but your thighs jump out at me as seeming a bit big especially around the knee. Now your rear cover strip is a bit thin (it should be coming in at around 20-25 mm wide) so it might be an opportunity to fix both. If indeed you have a lot of extra room around the thigh bottoms and can separate the seam, have a helper squeeze the halves together until they are snug against your leg, then back off slightly until comfortable. This should be felt the entire length of the thigh from knee to hip. If there is room to accomplish this, it will give your armor a sleeker appearance and increase its bad a** look! Centurion Suggestions: Although I try to spot as much as possible, the ultimate Centurion accuracy is up to the trooper. Your side gaps are allowable for EIB but will need to be eliminated for Centurion. If the elastic on the side is being stretched here you might want to consider a change to nylon webbing or just breathe out and tighten your belt. Make sure you have the rear drop box inserts as AP does not include them. Great work again, Phil!! Congratulations!! 2 Quote
