TheSwede[TK] Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 Hi again Dan and thank you for your EIB application. In this review I will ensure that your armor follows the requirements set out in the CRL L2 Expert Infantry Badge and also point out what I can to prepare you for Centurion, should you choose to apply. I hope you do! Let´s get started shall we! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted and I am very pleased to announce your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry. On behalf of myself and the entire D.O.Team, 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. As we navigate through this review we are going to start from the top and work our way down. Starting with the helmet and the brow, most Stunts were a touch higher so raising it would be the go-to advise here. Here we suggest some minor tweeking for a prestine look, tucking in that neck seal, the black strapping in the back and to remove the fraying on the belt. Looking at the TD and as seen in the reference images the screws were a bit closer to the ends and said ends had a little bend to them if wanting to go for that uber screen accurate look. As you went the screen accurate way on your shin closure we just want to point out that the hooks should be facing up. And that´s it! - again congratulations on reaching Expert Infantry Let´s move on! 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 adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. Below you will find areas that will need to be adressed for a future succesfull Centurion Application. Starting with the shoulders there should be a minimal gap between the shoulders and the chest and back plate. Looking at yours we would need you to close those gaps as indicated below. Ways of doing that would be to make sure the biceps sit more snug inside the biceps or maybe reach out to Ross for some "big boy parts" and if so be sure to trim them with a curve just like the originals, that really helps in getting the bells close. Perhaps not as wavy as they did on the back though. Moving on - Ideally there´s no gap between the kidney and ab plate and by the looks of things some tighter strapping should have this sorted out in no time. Lastly we have the blaster and the t-tracks are to have no metallic apperance so some black paint is needed and we suggest you tone down the overall "metallic look of the blaster. We understand wanting to make the blaster "real-looking" but in the movie they were more of a solid black all around. And that`s it - head on out as an Expert Infantryman for the Empire and we look forward seeing your Centurion application 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 Congratulations and welcome to the EI ranks trooper Quote
p4ntb0y[TK] Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Posted July 7, 2019 Hi thank you! I have already ordered some parts as I have trimmed the return Edge on the bells to nearly nothing. The helmet I will re adjust and upload a picture. The TD clips are from Ross so I will mention the screw placement to him I can’t remember if I drilled them or not. I have big boy bells and thighs on their way and some shoulder straps as mine broke. Will readjust the hooks and the strapping and the belt and update the pictures blaster easy paint job but I do want to get a fieldmarshal thank you for the review! I literally just got back today and this was waiting 1 Quote
