Hi Max, great to see another trooper applying for EIB. Nice build.

 

For a faster process of your application, I would like to suggest you to add the following in advance,  that surely  the D.O.S will ask you to post:

 

1-Close up photos of where your shoulder bridges are connected to the chest, as well as the connection between the chest and back armor.

 

• No visible rivets are allowed.
• Chest and back shall be connected with a white fabric or preferably elastic strap at the shoulders.

 

2- Close up of rivets inside and outside of thigh ammo strip.

 

Thigh ammo belt is attached to thigh with a solid head rivet, painted white, in the upper corner and fastened to the lower thigh ridge.

• The rivets used shall be single cap, double cap or split rivets. No pop rivets allowed.
• Rivet should be approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter (exterior).

3- Straight-on photo of the sniper knee (to check alignment)

• Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin.

 

Any additional photos or requirements will be indicated by the D.O

 

Good Luck trooper !

Hi Max and thank you for your EIB application.

Before I can comment on any photos missing I need you to clean up the post as many of the photos are not visible, I need them included in the post and not as links - thanks

I did however spot an item that needs to be fixed, the tab on the posterior plate needs to be cut roughly as indicated by the blue line and new snaps fitted, look forward seeing the rest of your armor

Tony's AM build thread that we followed shows them mounted lower on the tab as below... just confirming this has changed as an EIB requirement?

Hey Max

I´m having a hard time making out the coulors on your ab-buttons, they appear very dark. I looked at all the photos shoving the ab plate and also zooming them but to no avail. Including a color scheme as well as a reference image so you can see what we look for

[TheRascalKing[TK]]

Ab buttons were painted with the older-style Humbrol 14 French Blue, not the lighter Testors/Model Master. It was an older can too, so it looks pretty dark with the lighting is all, I think. I think Max is gonna try to take a better-lit photo for ya soon.

[Ninety-Nine[TK]]

 

@TheSwede - It's pretty hard to photograph and the paint is definitely on the dark side (see what I did there?) to match the darker blue tube stripes included with the AM kit, but it's Humbrol blue and Admiralty Grey. Hope this helps!

Humbrol blue

Did you shake and stir the paint enough? The grey looks fine in that pic (still a bit dark though) but that blue must have been a bad batch or just too old. I`m afraid it´s way to dark to hold muster for Expert Infantry. Sometimes the humbrol paints are no good, I have had a few bad ones during my own builds. I need you to find a better can or try to shake/stir the one you have. You could try a straight on pic first if you like but if you feel the color is dark yourself I´m not too optimistic but worth a shot.

Tube stripes are much lighter.

 

 

[Ninety-Nine[TK]]

No problem! I'll get on that asap

[Ninety-Nine[TK]]

@TheSwede Cut the Humbrol down with some Model Masters. Still doesn't photograph great, but it's much more blue now.

Hey Justin the posterior was updated later in the build thread to reflect the correct positioning of the posterior snaps. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
