Replicom[TK] Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Posted February 7, 2016 Hi, I uploaded the photos by order, but they are all mixed up... strange.. Best regards to all from Portugal! António Silva TK-15511 Portuguese Outpost Quote
Snaps[TK] Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Looks good! Only suggestion I have is add some material to the sides of the kidney/ab so they are closer together and the drop boxes could go closer to the edge of the belt piece.. Good luck trooper!

ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Hey Antonio Sly or myself will be with your shortly Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 Welcome Antonio, thanks for your EIB application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required photos have been posted, man you have great looking armor, but I need to draw your attention to the side gaps between your Kidney and abdomen plate. The general gap allowance as written in the CRL for EIB is as follows. . Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2 inch (12.5cm). Now we don't scale and measure this so there is some leeway, however your gap on the non rivet side does look a little excessive. Could we please request you take another photo from the side and perhaps tighten the belt to reign in the gap a bit more. Again, your armor looks fantastic, just that one adjustment and the badge will be yours yours. Quote
Replicom[TK] Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Posted February 14, 2016 Thank you Sir! I am going to take another picture as requested, asap. Hoah! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 Thank you, looking forward to getting you across the line. Quote
Replicom[TK] Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Posted February 14, 2016 Reporting to duty, Sir! As requested, photo of the Kidney/Abdomen Plates, now with the belt properly tighten. Hoah! Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted February 16, 2016 Report Posted February 16, 2016 OK Antonio, thank you for tightening up that belt and closing the gap , with that we would like to congratulate you and say, Welcome to Expert Infantry!!! Your armor looks wonderful, now we will continue with your overall assessment. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we may suggest corrections to make your armor look it's best. Though these suggestion/s won't effect your EIB status they will enhance the overall look of your armor. The only things that stand out are that your Butt plate sticks out from the sides. I think this may be caused by two things. 1. Perhaps the strapping could be shortened a touch to try and bring them in. 2. Your thighs armor looks quite long for you and sits up under neath the butt plate pushing it out. This is only a suggestion for comfort and mobility sake, but trimming about an 1inch - 1 1/2" off the top of your thigh armor would allow then to sit just below the butt, and probably give you a little more clearance behind the knee, freeing up some more movement. Simply follow the top ridge line all way round the tops trim it off and sand the edge. Return edges are not necessary on all parts of the armor, so this would not interfere with any Centurion application. Centurion Suggestions: Any recommendations mentioned here are to help prepare you for your Centurion app. As mentioned by Snaps you'll need to close up the ab to kidney gaps for Centurion. This may be done by adding shims. Make sure you have everything required for Centurion, use the photo check list, and we hope to see in the Request Centurion status thread soon. Again, excellent job Antonio. Quote

Replicom[TK] Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Posted February 16, 2016 Thank you, Centurions ! I am very happy with my Expert Infantry Badge ! Recommendations are very welcome !, Now, its time to make the suggested corrections and improve my mobility as well. I want to thank my fellow Centurion, Rui M.
