justjoseph63[Staff] Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Great looking build, Sean, and glad to see you went with the double-snap system! (You won't regret that extra work, I promise). If you find that the tops of the thigh armor are too high and rub on the cod piece (or tend to chafe), you can remove all the return edges (front and back) and lower the front. This will make things a bit more comfortable. Also, fantastic work on that blaster! Quote

Sly11[Admin] Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Welcome to your EIB review Sean, and thank you for applying. Lets take a look at your armour. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Welcome trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we go through overall fit and balance of your armour. We may suggest adjustments and corrections along the way. If any of these will effect a future application, they will be mentioned in the below Centurion section. Great job Sean, only a few very minor adjustments will have you looking even sharper, so lets cover those off. You still have a small amount of gap between the shoulder bridges and the bells that can be adjusted in by shortening the top straps. If they are just touching, that is the perfect look. Reference image We also would like to see your biceps dropped a bit to close up the gap between them and the fore arm. In tur you might be able to drop the fore arms just a touch as well so you don't have as large a gap between the wrist end and the hand. Here we can see how low the biceps were worn to try and eliminate the black gaps between the arm pieces . The other adjustment to look at is the drop box alignment. These need to sit in line with the ends of the plastic ammo belt. Perhaps a small dab of glue on the elastic to the back of the canvas belt will keep them from moving around. Reference image Centurion Suggestions: This section is where we do our best to prepare you for Centurion. Sometimes details cant be seen clearly in the EI set of images that can be in the more extensive photos requested. From what we can see, you are in good shape, make those few adjustments, follow the Photo guide and the CRL to make sure you have all required elements and we shall see you again soon in Centurion review. Congratulations Quote
count chocula Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 Awesome. Thanks! I'll work on these things before I submit for centurion. Quote
