You are looking good in this armor, Henry. Some serious strapping in there.

You made a very clean submission. The only thing I noticed, is the helmet could sit a bit lower to your shoulders. Maybe you can remove/replace some padding inside to reduce the gap between helmet and shoulders.

Keeping fingers crossed...

Thanks for your suggestion! I will try to adjust the support frame inside the helmet accordingly.

Hi Henry,

 

Great build! Unfortunately, before we proceed with your review, you'll need to remove your TKID from your blaster. We totally understand why it's there and you're welcome to put it back later, but for the purposes of your application it will need to be removed or covered.

 

Thanks!

Hi Henry,

Sorry for the delay - I'll be starting your review. In the meantime, can you post two additional photos:

* closeup of where your shoulder bridges connect to the chest piece (to verify there is not rivet)

* closeup of the inside of your thigh ammo pack connection (to verify the type of rivet)

 

Thanks!

Hi Henry,

 

Very sorry for the delay - real life has been extremely busy so I haven't had a chance to do your review. Rest assured I have not forgotten about you. I appreciate your patience.

Hi Sha Sha,

 

That's okay.

Thank you so much for your time.

Hi,

Herewith updated photos of thigh ammo pack split rivet connection.

 

Thanks!

Hi Henry,

Thanks again for your application, and especially for being so patient as we worked through the reviews.

 

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!  It's clear that you really did your research when building your armor.

 

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. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions

 

First, a very minor dressing issue - your TD is sitting too high off your belt. When you're getting ready for troops, have a handler double check that it's sitting securely, or it could actually fall off while you're trooping.

 

 

Reference Image:

 

Another very minor detail is that the TD clips should be square off, not rounded. Not a big deal at all, but worth mentioning for those who want to go the extra mile. If you do decide to tackle this suggestion, be sure that the ends of the clips are still flush with the TD plate. Also, the TD screws tended to be closer to the ends of the clips. Again, a very minor detail, but I thought I'd point it out.

 

 

Reference Image:

 

Moving along, your butt plate is popping out a bit, but it should sit right below the kidney. We're suggesting you tighten the strapping on the sides, or add some if there isn't any. Additionally, if you look at the reference images, the rear of your belt is sitting too low; it should sit above the kidney/ab split.

 

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.

 

Starting from the top, the L3 CRL states:

• There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates.

 

From the front your shoulder bells look *perfect* but from the rear there's a significant gap. I'm actually fairly confident that if you relaxed your arms for the rear photo, you could get most of that gap to disappear. If not, you can try rotating the bells back slightly, or making sure there is not bottom return edge on the shoulder bells.

 

 

Reference Image:

 

Moving along, the L3 CRL states:

• [Shoulder straps] shall free float in back.

While I like the idea of using magnets to hold them in place, the straps should just be free-floating and not held down or attached in any way to the back plate.

 

 

Continuing on, the L3 CRL states:

• Back plate shall have no, or minimal overlap of the kidney plate.

Your back plate is overlapping the kidney plate:

 

Since I'm quite short, I had to deal with this with my own kit as well. You could try shortening the strapping between the chest and back to bring the back higher, or in my case I heat-bent the rear shoulder tabs some to force the back plate to sit higher. There is also a great tutorial about how one trooper helped bend in the 'wings' on his back, eliminating the overlap: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/40831-ajs-of-am-20-build/page/10/?tab=comments#comment-656482

 

Reference Image:

 

Moving on to a couple fitting issues. I can see that you're a slender trooper, and while you've done a fantastic job with your build, your forearms and thighs don't fit you as well as they could. Your forearms are very wide, particularly at the elbow end, and the tops of your thighs are big for you as well, causing overlap between the thighs and butt plate. While forearm and thigh size isn't something stated specifically in the CRL, we do consider reference images when doing application reviews, and we think it will really help you look your best to have them more proportional. Additionally, the thigh overlap can cause painful armor bites and is probably also affecting your mobility. So we'd like you to size down both the forearms and the thighs before applying for Centurion. It won't be simple, but I have the utmost confidence in your skills.

 

This is something that I had to deal with in my own armor build as I am also slender. The forearms can be particularly difficult due to the built in ridges, but I was able to size mine down significantly. You can see how I approached them in my build thread here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42868-sha-shas-wtf-anh-stunt-build-complete/?tab=comments#comment-574130

Reference Image:

 

Finally, a couple pieces that will need replacing when you apply for Centurion (and we hope you will!)

 

The L3 CRL states:

• Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching.

 

Since you have plastic handguards, you'll need to get latex ones (there are some forum members who sell them) for your Centurion application.

 

 

Reference Image:

 

The L3 CRL states:

• Bapty-style, Hasbro and Rubies blasters are not allowed, even conversions.

 

Unfortunately your Hasbro blaster (which you've done a great job with) will need to be replaced with one that's more accurate. I personally troop with a Hyperfirm rubber E-11.

 

 

And that's it! Based on the quality of your armor build so far, I have full confidence that you'll be able to tackle these issues. As always, please reach out to us if you need any assistance, and we hope to see you at Centurion. Congratulations again, now get out there and make The Emperor proud!
