Shanester[TK] Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 Looking great trooper! Good luck on the approval! Quote
magni[TK] Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 Great job on your build! I only see a couple of things and it's only for looks. Your biceps seem a bit big and your bridges don't look even. Your right shoulder looks up more on chest making it sit almost on O II on back. Again, great job and Good Luck! Quote

I have one leg longer than the other which makes my shoulders crooked. I didn't want to cut the bridges at different lengths. Ill see what happens but i would rather not cut them. Quote
Mworm1974[TK] Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Looks good Paul, I hope to have my application in soon too. matt 1 Quote
CableGuy[TK] Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Nice work, Paul. That’s a great looking set of armour, and it’s been nice following your build. :-)Just a little thing I noticed was your forearm alignment. It’s just a dressing issue but they might benefit from being twisted round a tad. This will align the cover strips at the front, also aligning the side details at the same time. If you have more than a fingers gap at the bottom of your biceps, they could probably come in a bit too, if you wanted to. :-)Best of luck with your application. I’m sure it’ll go smoothly. :-)Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Mr V[TK] Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Posted January 29, 2018 Decided to update my images. Took some beef of my biceps and they feel much better. Made a shorter elastic between forearm and bicep. I tried to adjust my shoulders as best as possible but as mentioned earlier i have crooked shoulders. 1 Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 Hi Paul thank you for your EIB application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements:All the required submission photos have been posted. Beautiful job on your RS build This armor fit you very well. Looks like everything is in order. With that Andrew and I have confirmed your armor displays all necessary elements as set out in the Expert Infantry CRL. Welcome to EI trooper, 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. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. You have a few minor areas we'd like to mention, and I say minor is because the overall look and uniformity of your armor is excellent however, since our goal is to help you to look your best there are areas worth mentioning. Starting with the bell to chest gap. There should be minimal gap here. This could be a simple photo issue being the back is basically touching the back plate. Simple adjustment and you;re good to go. Reference photo Next up the upper back plate digging into your left shoulder. Not sure how much it bothers you but it looks like could stand some adjusting. My only solution would be to give it a hot water bath to straighten it out a bit. From the photos couldn't tell if the right has the same issue but worth looking at. Reference photo And finally the waist belt is sitting a little low on the Ab. Could stand to be up a 1/4-1/2" (10-12mm). Reference photo Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you the best we can for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. At this time we see nothing from holding you back for a clean Centurion application if you so choose to apply. Excellent job Paul, hope to see you at Centurion 1 Quote
