Hi . 

 

Just some details . 

 

Try to shorten the straps on your shoulder bels so they sit closer to your chest . 

Ref. Pic 

 

also make sure that your drop boxes are aligned with the end of the belt . 

Drop boxes should be vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box . 

Ref pic 

 

I don’t know if it is possible to move your thigh piece up a bit ? (Just a detail to reduce the gap ) 

 

overal a good job on that armor !!! 

Think it looks good for EIB ! 

 

The staff wil will be with you shortly and will review your application further . 

 

Goodluck with your eib application!! 

 

Godspeed trooper !!!

Nice work, good luck

Hallo Freddy, einer der Mitarbeiter von D.O. wird in Kürze bei dir sein, aber bitte füge ein Foto von der linken Seite deines Helmes hinzu.

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

Bitte vergib mir mein schreckliches Deutsch!

[Freduster[TK]]

Nothing to forgive, this German was flawless!

 

Alright, so in case they will be needed, some more images:

 

Helmet side:

 

Front of belt:

To me, the boxes are pretty aligned, might have just moved a little on the pictures.

 

If necessary, I'll work on the shoulders again. Thanks for the advice so far guys!

[T-Jay[TK]]

Good luck Freddy, hope you will be joining the ranks soon.

Hi Freddie,

Lovely work. It’s been a pleasure following your blaster and armour builds. :-)

Could we kindly ask for a close up of your thermal detonator screws, please? It looks as though they might be dome head screws. If so, these would have to be swapped out for slotted, pan head screws for EIB. (An easy fix, if required).





Best wishes

Dan

Here you go:

 

In case these are the wrong ones, could you point me in the right direction where to get them in Germany @T-Jay?

[T-Jay[TK]]

Easiest to discuss this on the upcomming troop next Saturday.

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

If anyone knows where to get hardware in Germany, it's Tino!

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

One last photo, sir, and we will get you going!  Please add a close-up photo of the hand guards showing that they are flexible.  Thanks!!

[Freduster[TK]]

No problem!

 

So I took three pictures, hopefully you get the intel you need from those..

First one is just a close-up of the material, the second is a shot from the plates in "straight mode" and the third in "bent mode". Let me know if these are insufficient.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Freddy

Hi Freddy

 

Nice work so far. ISB is not as far as you think

And don't worry. Centurion is also not that magic.

As far as I remeber your armor from our troop on last saturday you should be almost there as well.

Tino and I achieved this level, so you could do also. You armor looked great in real life

 

Just go ahead and follow the advice of our FISD DO's

Hi Fred, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's have a look, bruder!
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All the required submission photos have been posted., your armour displays all necessary element as set out in the level 2 CRL, Congratulations on a job well done!.

 

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 suggestions affects any application, it will be listed below.

 

Nice job on this RS armor, Fred!  Just a few notes for you to get you looking your best and hopefully get you to level 3..  I also want to mention that your TD plate positioning is perfect, and awesome job on that E-11!

 

1.  There are a couple of issues on your bucket... The first is that the bottoms of the ears are a little too far forward.  Note how the screws are in a line that follows the angle of the trap above them in the reference below.   Doing this would give you a more screen accurate look.

 

                                                                                                 Reference image

   

 

2.  The second is that your tube stripes are a little farther out than they should be, especially the ones on the right.  The tops of the stripes should be about a pencil width from the cheek.

                                                                                                                  Reference image

    

 

3.  The clips on your TD should be tightened up a bit to where they are closer to the raised section on the back.  Doing this will also help you keep it secure so it doesn't fall off!  (I've seen it happen..)

4.  SUPER nice job on those side ab/kidney connections, but I would suggest tightening up the strapping between the kidney and back plates to eliminate the small gap.

                                                                    Reference image

   

 

5.  The size of your large ab button plate is absolute textbook, but the small one could use some trimming.  The edges should be inside the perimeter of the raised area.

                                                                                                           Reference image

   

 

6.  Tightening up the strapping between your posterior/back plates would reduce or eliminate the problem highlighted below, and line them up a lot better: 

                                                                                   Reference image

    

 

 

 

 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.

 

1.  As mentioned your shoulder bells will need to come in closer to the shoulder bridges, (touching or very nearly touching them).  Doing this will also help eliminate the gap between the bells and your chest/back plates.  I see that you removed all the return edges on the bottoms (smart move) so this should be easy.

                                                                                                            Reference image

     

 

2.  The drop box on your right side will actually need to come in a bit.  The outer edge should align with the outer edge of the ABS belt:  

                                                                 Reference image

   

 

3.  As you are aware, the screws on your TD will need to be replaced with the "pan-head" style.  

                                                                                                                          Reference image

     

 

Overall a very impressive build, Fred.  Looking forward to seeing your Centurion submission in the near future.  Zeit, um die deutsche stolze Garnison zu machen!

Congratulations Fred.

 

Welcome to the rank of EI.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Congratulations trooper 

[T-Jay[TK]]

Congratulations Freddy! Guess you will have the Centurion badge when we meet on our next troop... 

[Freduster[TK]]

AWESOME, thanks a lot I am already looking forward to seeing that pretty blue badge below my name once I've posted this reply

So just to clarify - for Centurion I will need to change the things that are listed in the Centurion Suggestions right? I really don't want to remove the ears again as i feel like the helmet might just fall apart.. But the Centurion suggestions all look pretty manageable, so I shall get going this weekend hopefully. And once that is done, Centurion application is calling

@T-Jay i hope you're right, my next event is another Reads Day in Herne on November 16th, so put yourself on the list and I will see you there

 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Congratulations Freddy

[Freduster[TK]]

Cheers Tony, thanks to your awesome electronics I do not only look like an EI, I even sound like one ;)

[lucnak[TK]]

Congrats on your EIB!

I would like to, but unfortunately have to skip this. Maybe you can make it to the Reads Day in Bergheim a week earlier (Sa. 10th of Nov.). If not, I am sure there will be opportunities in the future to meet again.
