gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted May 13, 2019 Report Posted May 13, 2019 Nice work a couple of things you could adjust to really make you stand out. Bring your thighs up a little more to reduce the black showing. Bring your biceps down a little to reduce the gap at the elbow. Reduce the length of your drop box straps, they are a little long, perhaps also add a little glue to the straps so the drop boxes stay at the end of the belt. TD straps don't fit the pipe very well and are sitting up on the ends. Vocoder paint could be tightened up, a little on a slant and not round in areas, a tooth pick is great for getting into corners. The paint should not leave the teeth and some is seen on the gums. Ab button paint is a little large on some of the buttons. Tube stripes are ideally a pencil width from the cheek. Once again nice work and good luck with your application. 1 Quote
Digz Graavz[TK] Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 Yeah...what he said... The ab buttons are overpainted, as are the teeth. A bunch pf pretty minor stuff. Nice work! 1 Quote
p4ntb0y[TK] Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 I think you have the same issue as me the thighs looks like your right thigh is lower... I think you have room on the inside off your thighs and if you pull your thighs up the backs will hit your bum. I have taken mine apart and redoing them again with a hot bath to make sure the insides dont rub to much against each other and sanded down the backs to the same contour so they dont hit my bum. rotating your right thigh a bit will also let the drop box fall naturally and close the black gap more. I think the grey ab buttons are a little big, blues ones look good. I have the same armour so really happy to check your pictures! thank you 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 14, 2019 Report Posted May 14, 2019 Really nice overall job on this build, Mario! For level 2, you will probably be asked by the D.O.s to remove some of the paint on the teeth of your frown. As stated in the CRLs for Basic approval: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Reference images At some point you will also need to extend the frown a little further (as shown in blue in the photo). A super easy fix which should take just a few minutes. There are a few other items (especially for level 3) that the D.O. staff will go into detail about, but I have every confidence that you can go the distance, Side note: Outstanding job on your tube stripe positioning, and those ab/kidney connections are PERFECT... Well done!! Quote
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Posted May 14, 2019 Thank all for your advices, starting working on it today. regards Quote

shashachu[TK] Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Mario, You are sooooo close with the frown paint, but upon closer inspection there is still a bit of extra paint: If you look at the reference images, on the screen-used helmets the paint almost stops short of the ends of the teeth: Just a minor correction and I'll be able to complete your review. Thank you! Quote

shashachu[TK] Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Hi Mario, Thanks for your patience, and I appreciate you updating the frown paint. You have a great build, and it's clear you've trooped a lot in it, too! CRL and EIB Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Expert Infantry rank. On behalf of the DO team and myself, many congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Starting at the top, a couple suggestions with your helmet. On the screen-used helmets, the ears tended to be tilted to follow the edge of the trap, while yours are positioned more vertically. It is just a suggestion, but if you'd like to make your helmet really match the screen-used ones, you could try to reposition them. Reference Images: Continuing on, your vocoder paint could be touched up to be a bit more defined. A bit of time with a thin brush and some paint thinner could really clean up the look. Reference Images: Moving down to your limbs, ideally there is minimal black showing between the armor pieces, but if there is black, we suggest making sure the gaps are even. On your arms, dropping the biceps and possibly raising the forearms a bit would even it up, and on your legs, you could try raising your thigh pieces, or even just rotating the thigh pieces inwards would minimize the black showing. Reference Image: It looks like you may have already worked on your ab buttons, but the image link seems to be broken for me, so I'll go ahead and point it out here. The paint size could be reduced a bit, as the paint on the screen-used armor tended to be slightly smaller than the plastic buttons. Reference Image: Centurion Requirements In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustments. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items to pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all that we can from what is seen, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. The L3 CRL states: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. From the front, your shoulder gap is perfect but there's some gap when viewed from the back. This is likely just a simple issue of rotating the shoulder bells back a bit, or even adjusting the way you're standing when taking the photos from the rear. Reference Image: Moving along, the L3 CRL states: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Your left side box is hanging just a bit low. This should be a simple fix of shortening the white elastic holding it on. Reference Image: Finally, the L3 CRL states: Hasbro and Rubies blasters are not allowed, even conversions. Since your blaster is a Hasbro, if you decide to apply for Centurion, which we hope you do, you will have to acquire a new blaster. Please reach out to us if you're having issues locating one. I personally use a Hyperfirm rubber blaster. And that's it! It seems that you built your armor with Centurion in mind, so it's just a few minor issues to correct and we hope to see your Centurion application soon! Congratulations again, and welcome to EIB!
