JLight[TK] Posted April 12, 2016 Report Posted April 12, 2016 Taylor, awesome job on the build! EIB worthy for sure and with a few tweaks, you will be on your way to Centurion. A couple things to make it look even better is to bring your shoulder bells in more. They should be almost touching the shoulder straps. Secondly, the belt looks a little crooked. I noticed in one of your close-up photos that another snap was added to ab piece on left side (right when looking at it) and so perhaps you have already fixed it and just need to update the pic. That sucks--You might have to suit up again! Lastly, the sniper knee plate could be tighter on shin. The bottom center of plate should be touching cover strip. These are nit picky things. Helmet looks superb with changing out ear screw, fixing frown, and even accurate hovi screens. Plus, I can tell you shined it up real good. Great job! 1 Quote

I'll get on the shoulder bells! Looking at the photos again, I think the belt came unsnapped on the right side. (Left when looking). When I bent over to grasp the gloves before the photo, I heard something, but I wasn't sure what it was... Lol. Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted April 13, 2016 Report Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Taylor, we will be with you shortly. In the mean time, I see you are using a hearing system, is there any chance you could get some black paint or a sharpie pen into those tiny holes in the ears just to make them less visible? Good advice given on those shoulder bells too. Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Hey Taylor thank you for your patience and EIB application. Let's get to it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted. Thank you for making suggested repairs. With that Sly and myself would like to welcome you to expert infantry. Congratulations Taylor, excellent work. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we discuss suggestions that your fellow troopers, sly or myself have to make you armor look its best. We have a few areas to discuss here so let's start at he top. 1) As mentioned by Jonathan we would like to see the shoulder bells closer to the chest. Tightening up the bell so shoulder strap should resolve this. Reference picture 2) Although this area is not seen very often, removing all the paint is highly suggested Reference picture Centurion Suggestions: In this section we try to prepare you if you decide to shoot for Centurion. Suggestions and requirements may be mentioned. 1) No return edge on forearms. For level three certification (if applicable): No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. Reference pic 2) Back plate to kidney overlap. For level three certification (if applicable): Back plate shall have no, or minimal overlap of the kidney plate.This goes for the kidney to butt also. Neither should overlap each other. Reference pictures 3) Thermal detonator screws and condition. Though not a requirement the TD clip screws are to be pan, slot head screws. We highly suggest replacing them. We also would like you to straighten put the TD clip a bit. The bends made by Anovos are a bit excessive. The last thing would be to clean off the excessive glue. Reference picture Great job again. A few updates and we hope to see you at Centurion Quote
