ZacMuleer[TK] Posted September 24, 2015 Report Posted September 24, 2015 Howdy, commanders. This is my second suit of TK-ANH-Stunt armor that I would like to submit for EIB status. My AM1.0 suit is four years old and about to be stationed on Tatooine. I've also lost a bit of weight since the first build and gained much knowledge, so my attempt was to build to Centurion right out of the gate. Without further ado...

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted September 24, 2015 Report Posted September 24, 2015 Best of luck Dan! Looking forward to having another EIB/Centurion here locally! Exciting to see you submitting! The only thing that is leaping out at me is possibly the knee ammo pack attachment. It is a little difficult to see the alignment of the rivets. Quote
ZacMuleer[TK] Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks Tim! I can submit a better photo- the tops align with the top of the ridge, and end at the "squared off" section on the back of the thigh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 What's up, Mr. Dan!!! Thank you for your application for Expert infantry!! Let's rock this! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: I would like to see a mare complete pic of your interior strapping and a close up of your abdomen details. I can see you button configuration in other shots, but if you could add it to your application, it would complete it. Other than that, your armor contains all the required elements for EIB. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert infantry!! Other-Armor Assembly/Fit: In this section, I will review observations made by your fellow troopers as well as my own. If any suggestions for adjustments are suggested, I will let you know if any would be required that might affect your next application. First off, very nicely done overall construction. The armor seems to be well fit and very comfortable as well as looking great. I know there was some mention of your thigh pack on your lower, right thigh, It is fine in my opinion. I usually like the rivet to be a bit closer to the corner, but you are in that general area so it is all good. You do have a bit of extra return edge on the sides of your back plate that could come down a bit but no hurry on that. I know how much you took off already. The only other thing that is only a comment to bring up your accuracy if you wanted to is to install the little wires that go around the barrel of your DLT-19 at the front and rear of the T-Tracks like this: Centurion Suggestions: As much as I try to spot the things that might affect a Centurion application, the trooper is ultimately responsible for their armor's accuracy. Apply. I just don;t see anything that might affect your application. Make sure we can see the elastic on the back part of your shoulder bridges. Well done all around!! 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Congrats Dan welcome to the ranks trooper Quote
MechaPumpkin[TK] Posted October 3, 2015 Report Posted October 3, 2015 Congratulations! Welcome to the Expert Infantry! Quote
ZacMuleer[TK] Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Posted October 3, 2015 THANKS!!! As cool as 500 is, I'm even more stoked to be #501. . I'll take some pictures of interior strapping for posterity and get that Centurion application up this weekend! Thanks to everyone for their help along the way, both known and unknown. I've been on these forums for 5 years and would not have been able to do this without all of your knowledge and assistance! Troop on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Congratulations Dan! <br> Never any doubt, as I've seen your armor in action. Centurion next!!! Join us! 1 Quote
ZacMuleer[TK] Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks, y'all. Onto Centurion! Not sure how to change the title to include the 501 number, though. Quote
Ryth_[501st] Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 Congratulations! Someone else got the 501 it seems. Quote
ZacMuleer[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Posted October 7, 2015 Congratulations! Someone else got the 501 it seems. I understand now - I had EIB previously, so I'm not a new number. Hence "approved". But that's fine by me! Good luck, troopers - onto the next forum! Quote
