Your build thread has been epic, Sha Sha, and your attention to detail had paid off big time!  Should be an easy pass, Trooper... then on to Centurion!

[Pretzel]

I must agree with Joseph. wow. Great attention to detail. Centurion is in mind. On our way to another EIB! Job Well done. 

[shashachu[TK]]

Thank you both! I'm generally not super detail oriented, but I had a lot of fun putting the kit together.

[Shanester[TK]]

You did fantastic work Sha Sha!  Best of luck! 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Hey Sha Sha, thanks for your patience we'll be with your shortly. 

[bmth chris[TK]]

Hey sha sha, as previously mentioned everything looks great! Should indeed be an easy pass. Then forward March to centurion!

I'd say Good Luck but you don't need it Sha Sha. Great looking rig all the way around.

See you at Centurion soon!

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Hey Sha Sha thank you for your EI application. Great to see another fellow GGG member applying for the higher ranks.  
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All your required submission photos have been posted. Beautiful job on your build. Andrew and I are happy to say your armor meets all EIB requirements. Welcome to Expert Infantry

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:
In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor and accuracy. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. Again, these are suggestions and recommendations. The accuracy is ultimately up to you. We only have a couple areas to mention here so let's get to it. Not a huge deal but we noticed your left shoulder cover has a heavy bend in it. It should gradually following the contour of the armor. You've done a fabulous job adjusting this armor to fit your height however, you might want to give the covers and upper back a hot water bath to contouring them to your body. Doing this may help in the next section also.

The back plate should not cover the kidney plate, it should rest on top of it. Also, the posterior should be underneath the kidney not behind or on top of it.

And lastly for Centurion, if you choose to shoot for it we're highly suggesting you paint or weather the blaster scope black. There's a little too much brass showing.

Centurion Suggestions:
In this section we prepare you for your Centurion application if you choose to apply. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We only have one area that requires changing. The CRL states the hand guards are to be flexible. You'll need to replace your current plastic hand guards before you apply for Centurion.

That's it Sha Sha great job. Now its time to get out there and make the empire and our garrison proud. Hope to troop with you some day.  

[shashachu[TK]]

Awesome! What a great start to the day. I am planning on going for Centurion if I can figure out how to get the darn rubber hand guards to stick to my rubber gloves.

 

Really looking forward to trooping together some day, too!

Joseph sells hand guards with cheese cloth built in. I think I have 3-4 sets. Simple E6000 works great

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Congratulations trooper and welcome to the ranks

Yeah I want to switch the gloves out for other ones (nomex or something) so I was going to try to do something more temporary. I guess E6000 can be removed.

[walt[501st]]

Well done!!!

[Haribon72[TK]]

I'm hella late to the party!  Congratulations Sha Sha!    

Onward to Centurion!
