Ricky you look fantastic!  The only thing I can say is you might want to tighten up the strapping between the side of your abs with the rivet to eliminate as much of a gap as possible.

 

Great job!

Hi Ricky, we will be with you shortly. As Alay has mentioned above, I agree you should shorten those side straps up to bring the Ab and kidney plate together. 12.5mm is the maximum allowable gap for EI, but I think you are going to be aiming for Centurion with that build, so you might as well fix it now. Please add a new side photo when done.

 

Cheers

Thanks very much i will shorten them today and get a side pic up. Centurion is the goal

[Kylorick]

Hi ive shotened elastics on side but got no one here to take pictures for me so have just tried to do pics on my own if you need full side view just let me know and i will sort them out as soon as i can. also added some extra pics that i forgot to do last time i had the kit out. Thanks Ricky

Looking great, Ricky!  Since it looks as if you will be aiming for Centurion, you will need to remove the rest of the return edges from your forearms.  You have it mostly done, but the area in the hump part (on the right side in the photos) needs to go as well. (Easy fix)!  Also, it may be the lighting in the photo, but is the screen in your hovi-mic tips made of white plastic?  If so, that may be an issue for level 3, but again, is a super easy fix.

REALLY nice job on the painting, especially those ab-buttons.  I have those EIB rockers set aside for you!

Thanks very much wasnt 100% on taking the return edge from that bit but removing now. Mic tips is silver mesh need to take better pic of them. Thanks again and fingers crossed

Hi Ricky, thankyou for the  new photo posted of the gap correction on the side, we might as well get as much sorted so your Centurion app will be a breeze, so could you post up a photo of the forearms with the return edge removed, then I dont need to mention it in your review.

[Kylorick]

Great no problem will get that posted later

Good luck Ricky, good to see some more UKG going for EIB!

[Kylorick]

Added new forearm pics. Cheers

Hi Ricky, thanks for your application, lets get started

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All submission photos are present and your armour displays all the elements required for Expert Infantry, nice Job Ricky

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

Great attention to detail here, thank you.  There is only some tiny things I could suggest, It would be to shorten the elastic straps between the back and Kidney plate so the two sit right on top of each other and close the small gap you have.

 

 

 

Also the top of your thigh cover strips could have the corners trimmed so they cant dig into you when negotiating stairs etc,

 

 

Centurion Suggestions:

In this area we do our best to prepare you for Centurion.

Well the armour looks spot on, just make sure you supply all the required close up photos needed in the Centurion Photo check list. Some of your images here are quite small and when we enlarge then to have a closer look, they are not clear. Those extra photos show us the finer details needed to get you across the line for level 3, so we may pick up some things that were too difficult to see with these images.

Not sure what photo share you are using but maybe try Imgur, no adds like photo bucket and free to use.

 

Hope to see you in Centurion review soon

[Kylorick]

Thank you so much this as made my day soooo happy and will be sorting new pics out asap. See you on centurion review soon and thanks again.
