CableGuy[TK] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Posted November 22, 2017 Great looking armour, Tino. Love the slightly weathered appearance. Nice blaster too. ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Schmetterhemd[TK] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Posted November 22, 2017 Aaaah. Nice armour. I see another Expert Infantry promotion in the near future. Quote
Poseidon[501st] Posted November 22, 2017 Report Posted November 22, 2017 Not really an EIB concern I suppose, but your thighs look very tall. It looks like they are impacting your cod and could at best impede walking, and at worst pinch you in a sensitive area. You might want a picture of the D ring on your blaster as well. Other than that, looking good! Quote

Other than that, looking good! Got your point, Tom. On my first picture it looks a bit like walking could be an issue, but during the last 3 years it never was. I even went upstairs and downstairs with this armor several times and had no problems. The gaps between the upper legs and the cod piece are varying from small to none - depending on the size of the trooper and the daytime (no joke). In this ANH screenshot you will find gap-variations from big to none, so I will wait if Tony or Andrew see a problem here. A photo of the D-ring has not been uploaded, as this is not stated in the current EIB photo checklist. But the ring can easily be spotted in both side view pictures. I am much more concerned about something else on this blaster... Quote
Dracotrooper Posted November 27, 2017 Report Posted November 27, 2017 As I rarely go beyond blaster build threads; pleasantly surprised to come across your post Tino - I also like your light weathering as Dan commented. cheers and all the best for approval! 1 Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 28, 2017 Report Posted November 28, 2017 Hey Tino, Andrew or myself will be with you shortly. Before we get started do you have a cover for the chamber. Though it is beautifully made the blaster is a laser gun not a machine gun . Edit: Or can you remove the bullets and holder and slide the ejection assembly forward? If so take a photo and post it.

This specific E-11 blaster was built to have as many details as possible from a real Sterling SMG 9mm, including the interior. The inner bolt is in the pulled-position and due to the electronics inside, I can not move it forward. That means the ejector port is permanently open. Although having pictures in my build thread, proving this is screen accurate, I fully get your point and will soon replace the pictures with a different blaster I have... Quote

Schmetterhemd[TK] Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Very good brother. I see your EIB badge coming closer There is one critical thing, your TK is soooo dirty You are lucky that this would not effect the approval Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted November 30, 2017 Report Posted November 30, 2017 Hey Tino thank you for your EIB application brother and thank you for updating your blaster photo. Now let's have a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Excellent job on your TM build . We're loving the lite weathering also, obviously you've already been hard at work serving the Empire. That being said Andrew and I are very please to say your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations! 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 nothing to add here. 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 at this time is the position of the Thermal Detonator clips. According to the CRL they should be butted against the end caps or very close. Reference photo That's it, congrats again and hope to see you at Centurion. 1 Quote

Hi Tony, thank you very much for your fast reply, the EIB approval and the EIB badge. A great feeling - and another step for the March to 1000 program. Glad to be a part of it now. Also thanks for highlighting the position of the Thermal Detonator clips. The CRL says "little to no gap" and I thought this would be accepted as "little". Anyway, I will use the next days to correct this, take new photos and then submit for Centurion. Maybe Santa Claus brings a special birthday present this year... 2 Quote

Regarding the TD, it's not a deal breaker, we're always looking to make things a little better. That said how it looks is ultimately up to you and it certainly won't prevent you from earning a Centurion badge. 1 Quote
