Good luck chris .You can't beat a set of TM . I would only suggest possible lowering the forearms and thighs a bit to even up the gaps ,and a bit of mesh behind the frown to help keep you hidden ,

[bmth chris[TK]]

I noticed the forearms riding up a bit :/ I have to redo the thigh armor as well. Well the cover strips anyway. And get rid of that dangerous sharp edge lol. Thank you for the well wishes. How would you suggest lowering the forearms?

Chris all you need to do is extend the length of your strapping between the forearms and biceps to allow the forearms to fit a bit lower . When your as tall as you are it's always differcult to balance the gaps between your armour , you've done a grand job , You shouldn't have any trouble cleared . I had similar tweaks to get my armour ready for centurion ,

With that out of the way. I made some minor tweaks to the helmet tonight. I trimmed the lens (it kept pushing against my nose) and added the frown screen from trooper bay.

There's no requirement for frown screen on either level. And the original helmets did not use any frown screen.

 

It's perfectly fine to have it. But it should be noted that it's not required, nor accurate.

Hey Chris. You've got yourself a beautiful set of armor there. Good luck!

It's alright Chris, it not a requirement to disclose who built the armor. You're in the home stretch brother.

still though, give credit where it's due. And yeah, can't wait to finish. Everything should be done/ updated photos on this application no later than Saturday night. I'm so close I can taste it lol

[Tig70[TK]]

Really sorry mate ,I've been miss lead into thinking that it was needed to have your frown messed to help with keeping you concealed , but yeah now it's been said not seen it on requirement . Really sorry didn't want to make you any extra work , but you made a top job of it .

[bmth chris[TK]]

Not a prob tig! I actually wanted to mesh the frown anyway lol just never did it. Normally I wear a balaclava under my bucket to help conceal my face, but now I guess I can do both! I've always liked how the meshed frown looked anyway so I did it!

Alright. Here are the updated pictures of the thigh armor/cover strips. Had to dremel/sand down the sharp edges on the thigh armor.

Other than the updated full body shot (front and back) and the picture of the d-ring on the blaster, are there any other pictures that need to be updated?

Hey Chris, welcome to your long awaited EIB review!! Thank you for your patience and for the upgrades you have made. Looks like the Planets have aligned and here we are on May the 4th Star Wars Day, lets get into it.

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All required photos have been posted and your armor contains all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry!! Congratulations and Welcome to EIB!! and May the 4th be with you

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

Its great that you have taken on board the comments some of your fellow troopers had made and decided to do some mods and upgrades before we did your review. Originally, we may have had some suggestions, but from what I can see you have addressed virtually all the concerns.

The only real suggestion we have is to trim the sharp looking corners down on the sniper plate in case they catch on something or mark your under

suit.

 

Your armour looks well balanced for someone 6'2" and slim build, we think you have done a great job indeed.

 

Centurion Suggestions: In this section we do our best to get you primed for a future Centurion application, we do try and spot everything but the final accuracy is up to the trooper.

Again Chris not really anything to comment on here.

For your Centurion application, follow the photo check list and CRL to make sure you have everything covered, and get that application in.

Its a beautiful set of Trooper Master armour you have there, and your fellow garrison members will be proud to have you marching along side them.

Again welcome to the rank of Expert infantry, now get out there and report for duty!!

[bmth chris[TK]]

Well this was a WONDERFUL thing to wake up to! Thank you everyone that had a hand in helping. Could not have done it without all of your help.
