Hello Pawel,<br>

Your armor is looking good but there is one thing that must be done: Your Blaster has no D-Ring and you need one for EIB. <br><br>

Besides I have some other suggestions just to improve the overall look. 1st: I would lower the things a little bit to even the black gaps of your legs. The next thing are your shoulder Bells. They are a little far away from your shoulder bridges. Perhaps you can shorten the elastic to the shoulder bridges or the elastic around the biceps. <br><br>

All the best!<br>

Thanks.

 

I shall make some improvements on my armor and add the D-ring.

Hereby a photo of my blaster with a D-ring.

Did some modifications on the armor. Hopefully the distance between abplate and thight is beter now.

Shoulderbells are as close as possible to the white elastic between chest and backplate,

but these are pulled outwards as you can see in the image below.

Hopefully these images conform the needed requirements for EIB.

Looking good.

 

Just hang in there for your official review.  I do not think the separation between your shins and thigh armor is a problem.  However, I am not the expert.

 

Good Luck.

Hi Pawel, thank you for your application, thank you for your patience, lets get to it shall we.

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All submission photos are present. and your armor represents all elements as required for Level 2 CRL,, with that said, Congratulations and welcome to Expert Infantry!!    :salute:

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. Suggestions made here are to improve the overall look of your armor .

If these suggestions would effect an application they will be mentioned in the above or below sections.

 

1) Shoulder bells could stand to be a bit closer to the chest plate. Tightening some strapping and maybe removing any return edges should draw them closer.

2) Shoulder cover unsecured and needs to be curved more. You left shoulder cover is flared out quite a bit. Either tighten the retaining strap or give it a hot water bath and re shape it.

2) Too much gap between the bicep and forearm. We suggest you drop your biceps to close the gap between it and the forearm. They should sit pretty close as seen in the reference photo provided. Also, it appears your underarmor is bunching up in the same area. Not sure if its too big or long.

4) Back to kidney gap. We're suggesting you tighten the strapping between the two plate to close the gap here.

5)  Too much gap between the thighs and shins. We're suggesting you drop the thighs to reduce the clearance between the two areas.

Centurion Suggestions:

In this area we try to prepare you for Centurion. Any needed corrections will be posted here. The only area in question is the shim you added on the right side. There's nothing wrong with shim it's just there can only be one seem, you have two.

 

CRL states "For level three certification (if applicable):

  • A single visible seam line is present.

You will need to do a little work on this area, like adding ABS paste or similar to the seam to eliminate it.
