TheRascalKing[TK] Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Posted February 19, 2018 Looking forward to Centurion feedback too! I know I need more rivets on my left side, and the random male snap on the ab... I have new mic tips with better detailing and mesh ready to install soon... Interested to hear what else you guys spot! 1 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 The gap between the top of your shoulder bells and the plastic shoulder bridges. These should be virtually touching, it will also help them sit closer to the chest plate. It also looks like some of your photos are missing, plus could you please add a photo of the end of your blaster showing the D ring. Thanks Justin 1 Quote

Let me know if you need me to resubmit photos after adjusting, or if I should just watch for it at Centurion. What other photos are missing? Thanks! Edited April 21, 2018 by TheRascalKing Quote

Sly11[Admin] Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 All the photos are there now, not sure what changed but i will get back to it shortly Quote
Shanester[TK] Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Looking good trooper! Your right shoulder bell looks to be a little far away from your shoulder strap. Good luck with the approvals. Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Hey Justin, thank you for your EIB application and your patience. Let's get cracking. CRL and EIB Application Requirements:All the required submission photos have been posted, and your armour meets all the necessary requirements for level 2. With that Tony and myself would like to welcome you to 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. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. We have some suggestions to get you looking the best you can. Most are dressing issues but there are a few mods we like to see done on the Anovos helmets if you are intending on applying for Centurion. The shoulder Bells should basically touch the plastic shoulder bridge, so shortening those top black connecting straps will bring them in. Next is only a dressing issue, but make sure your fore arms sit evenly spaced from the biceps and the wrist end to the hand plates. It also appears yours are twisted inwards slightly. Align the front cover strips from bicep to fore arm and you are good. Reference Image If you can adjust the Velcro strapping between the back and kidney plate so they sit right on top of each other, it will look perfect. May we suggest replacing the Anovos supplied Velcro system with elastic and snaps as it generally is better for movement and also can last much loner. You will find loads of examples in the internal strapping photos of other EI applications. Also keep an eye on the alignment of your calf enclosure to keep them level. Reference Image Ok now to the helmet mods we will want to see in your Centurion application. The frown really stands out on the Anovos bucket as it finishes too short and very square on the ends. This needs to continue to taper out to a point, and the paint shouldn't go onto the gum line. We see you have replaced the hovi tips in the extra images you added in the application, so thank you, I don't need to talk about those although they are circled., and lastly, if you can sharpen up the edges of the Vocoder so it is more defined on each ridge, its also going to look much better. Reference Images Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos are requested that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. You are already aware of the extra rivets required for the Abb plate and they are a must as per the level 3 CRL as is the male snap for the upper corner on the opposite side. For level three certification (if applicable) Three rivets, approximately 5/16"(8mm) diameter, are present on the left side of the abdomen armor. Note: The original rivets used for the TK armor were bifurcated rivets or split rivets. Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. The heads are rounded or domed. Note: Paperclip brads are not considered to have a domed head. Rivets are painted white. A single male snap on the top right corner of the ab plate is present. Well here we are at the end of your EI approval, well done sir on a successful application. Make your adjustments and modifications and we hope to see you in Centurion review soon Congratulations 2 Quote

TheRascalKing[TK] Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Posted February 28, 2018 WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Thank you all very much! All your feedback is spot on, and much of it was expected - man is it hard to get that armor to sit 'just so' though! See you in Centurion review soon. Thank you! 2 Quote
