Hi Guys!  

 

Well, it's that time again!  I'm looking forward to humbly presenting my most recent build for EIB consideration.    I purchased an Anovos kit on the first tier round and FINALLY got around to finishing this baby up!   Really fun build!  It looks great and troops really solid!  I couldn't be more satisfied!

 

And away we go!............

Because I see that the "Han" snap didn't show in the pic, here's an extra to present that detail.

 

Right side "Han" snap detail:

Left side detail:

I did a redo of the lid following Gazmosis' post on the subject.  The frown has been repainted, correct screws installed, its pop riveted together, better more accurate brow trim, the tube stripes are Trooperbay replacements for the decal that was there.  The lenses were also custom cut and installed as per Gaz's post, using hockey helmet screws embedded in abs stacks.   The helmet is also Plasti-Dipped on the inside with MICH pads for support.

No prob, give me just a min. You can also check my Centurion request (I was a little pro-active). It's also there

Hey Carlos welcome and thank you for your EI application. Lets see what we have here..

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations trooper!     :salute:

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review your armour in detail and make suggestions that will help make you look the best you can. If any of these recommendations would effect this or a future application, it is stated in the above and below sections.

Firstly, this is a great application, to show some of the improvements that can be made to an Anovos kit for screen accuracy. Thanks for refining the helmet points that we talk about so often when reviewing Anovos armour. If anything I would still make the vocoder outline shape a little more prominent.

The only other item to mention is the gap between your shoulder bell tops and the plastic shoulder bridges. Just bring them in so they virtually touch

Centurion Suggestions:

Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. This is also where we try and get you in the best possible position for a successful Centurion application.

We can happily say that there isnt anything that stands out, which is excellent.

Make sure you include a photo of the back of your belt so we can see the drop boxes are enclosed at the rear, as well as all other photos on the Centurion check list.

 

Congratulations yet again for a very clean set of armour and an easy application.

Make your fine tuning and we will see you in Centurion soon. :jc_doublethumbup:
