ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 13, 2017 Report Posted November 13, 2017 Hey Martin Sly or myself will be with you shortly. While you wait can you please post the following photos: Posterior exterior snaps Internal strapping Waist belt connection armor side Thank you Quote
Dainbrandr[TK] Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Thanks a lot, looking forward to your feedback:-) The requested photos a here: Edited November 14, 2017 by Dainbrandr Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 Thank you. Could you flip the belt over and post a photo of that side also please. Quote
Alay[TK] Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 You look great, only two things I noticed: Your forearms could stand to be a little lower on your arms to even out the gap on your wrist. I think your squishy handplates will have to be glued directly to the gloves for EIB; but definitely for centurion. Great job! Quote
Shanester[TK] Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Looking fantastic. Great job and good luck! Edited November 14, 2017 by Shanester Quote
Dainbrandr[TK] Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks for the comments, much appreciated:-) Shall the entire surface of the handplates glued on the gloves? Right now they are velcroed in the middle and strapped around the wrist. The forearms can easily be pushed a little down if needed:-) Thanks for the feedbacks and positive remarks:-) Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 14, 2017 Report Posted November 14, 2017 For EIB you're good to go as is. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 Hey Martin, thank you for your EI application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Beautiful work on your TM armor . Your armor appears to display all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Andrew and I would like to welcome you 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. We have a couple minor suggestions to mention here. Starting at the top and working our way down the right eye socket looks a little jagged. We're suggesting you trim this corner smooth eliminating any gaps and giving the area a more uniformed look. Vcoder details could use a little touching up. Though not bad, as seen in the following reference photo the lines should be a bit more defined. Reference photo Your shoulders are looking really good though we're requesting reduce the gap between them and the chest and back plates. You're really close however, tightening the connecting straps should draw them even closer. Reference photo Next up, the cover strips are extending past the return edge of the armor in a couple areas. We're suggesting you trim these back to avoid getting snagged and/or possibly digging into your skin. Reference photos Arm armor placement. Sometimes with longer arms you need to space out the sections to fit your arm equally. As Sarah mentioned your forearms could be moved closer to your wrists. A good suggestion would be to maybe drop you biceps 1/2", increase the forearm to bicep gap to 1/4". This should reduce the gap at the wrist side by 3/4". These adjustments should give the arms a more uniformed look and possible increase your mobility. Reference photos Waist belt alignment. The top edge of the waist ammo belt should reside at or just below the lower ab buttons. A simple adjustment should fix this. Another area worth mentioning is the 45 degree corners of the ammo belt should be aligned with the outer edge of the cloth belt. Not sure you have enough ammo belt material remaining to correct this we at least wanted you to be aware. Reference photos Finally the TD screws should be flat head, slotted and painted black. We're requesting you replace the screws with the correct versions. Reference photo 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. The only area in question is the Ab to Kidney gap left side. The CRL states: For level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Ideally we're looking for no gap here or the other side. Tightening the straps should resolve the issue. Reference photo That's it Martin, congratulations on a great build . We hope to see you at Centurion. Quote
Dainbrandr[TK] Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 Awesome! Thanks a lot, really like your commitment to detail. I will try and adjust all of the above, and apply for Centurion soon:-) 2 Quote

Dainbrandr[TK] Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Posted November 18, 2017 Quick qestion, would this be acceptable for Centurion, when painted black? Quote

As we always state, accuracy is ultimately up to the applicant. Technically they're supposed to look like this with a head size of roughly 5mm. If you can find these locally in your area I'd try that first. Let us know what you come up with, we'll work with you. Quote
Dainbrandr[TK] Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Posted November 18, 2017 Awesome thanks a lot:-) Quote
