Hi Denis, Glad to see another Trooper going for EIB level. Great job with your armor.

 

I would like to suggest a couple of corrections and photos to add to your application that I'm sure the D.O. team will ask you to provide:

 

1-  You would like to remove a little more gray paint from your helmet frown as per the Crl states:

 

Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. 

 

2-  Your hovi tips need to be painted white inside and same for the ring. 

 

Correct 'Hovi mic' aerator tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white.

 

 

Here are some reference photos.

 

 

 

 

3- A close photo of your Thigh Ammo belt rivets,  both sides Internal and external to see the rivets type.

 

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).

 

 

 

4-  Photo of your ammo belt complete of the front to see the CRL required square buttons

 

There shall be three square buttons, one centered in the middle and one on each end of the plastic ammo belt..

 

 

 

Good luck with your application Trooper

Nice work trooper, a couple of additional things.

 

Your ab/belt/cod area appears on an angle you may want to straighten

 

Ab plate snap shouldn't be painted white

 

Helmet brow is normally higher for Stunt versions, the Hero has lower brow.

 

Shoulder straps not sitting central on back plate strap areas

 

Forearms need to rotate so cover strips match biceps

 

Large gap on strapping to drop boxes, only need a few mm's, also drop boxes need to align with end of the plastic belt section.

 

Ideally the tube strips should fall from the top at the front

 

Thigh ammo strip should use cap rivets and also positioned @ 10mm in from end (top/side) 

 

 

Large ab plate has been over trimmed, small plate could have some more trimming, button paint is also a little large 

 

 

Good luck with approval

Good luck Denis!

Hi
Thank you for all this information!

Looking good Denis, just a couple updates and you're ready.

Hi Denis, 

Could you post the following photos for me, 

1) The right side of your helmet showing the entire helmet

2) Right side details-Arms Raised 

3) Left side details-Arms Raised 

Thanks

[Denis09[TK]]

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Nice work on the fixes FYI the ab plates don't have rounded corners but I doubt would hold up EIB

 

[Denis09[TK]]

It is no problem changing that, it should be desired.
It looks worse than it is in the photo.

[msouza[TK]]

Denis, 

I'll need the following photos before I can continue. 

1) Cod and Butt Plate Attachment including photos on the snaps inside and out. 

2) Right side details-Arms Raised  

3) Left side details-Arms Raised 

 

 

Thank you

[Denis09[TK]]

I do

I have to see when i can do it. Sorry

 

What do you want to see exactly from the right and left side?

I had to expand on the kidneys. I m a bit thicker than the standard trooper

 

 

[msouza[TK]]

Denis, 

I'm going to require a fix before we can continue, Per the CRL for Level 2 (EIB)  "D-ring mounted on the rear."

Should be a quick and easy fix , once installed post up a new photo and we can continue to get you approved!

Hi Denis,

Thanks for your application for EIB. Its always great to see your fellow troopers aiming for that little extra all while helping us reach our goal of 1000 EIB troopers! 

 

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

 

As with all reviews I like to work my way from the top down and and suggest things that'll help you achieve expert infantry and hopefully Centurion! 

 

First up is your helmet,  

It looks as if you could bring the brow trim up just a bit. If you take a look at the reference photo you'll see how there's about a 9 to 12 mm gap in between the top of the eyes and brow. Should be relatively easy fix, first would be to check the brow gasket hasn't slipped down

 

                                                                                          Reference Photo                                                   

               

 

Staying with the helmet my next suggested change would be your ear placement. Now this one is not as easy as the brow fix and its just a suggestion but hey you've built the armor so we have every bit of confidence that you can handle it. Take a look at the placement on the reference phot and you'll notice that they follow the angle of the temple trap.  

 

                                                           Reference Photo

                

 

 

Next thing I'll  point out is your shoulder straps, the right one in particular looks as if the elastic could use to be a little tighter or you might want to consider re-positioning it to help keep it aligned with your back plate. 

 

 

                                                                                        Reference Photo 

    

 

Last thing I'll touch on & point out is to watch for alignment issues. This could simply be from moving around and shifting things prior to taken photos but its always a good idea to have a fellow trooper give your armor a look over beforehand to give us that Empire approved look. . 

                                                 Reference Photo 

         

  

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.

 

 

First up would be your shoulder bells, take a look at the gap between your bicep and shoulder bell and try to minimize the gap between them and honestly that looks like it should take care of the gap between the shoulder armor and chest and back plate. You could also try by getting rid of the return edge on the shoulder bells and this will bring them in as well.

 

                                                                                                                                                                             Reference Photo 

     

 

 

Next we'll look at you pinstripes on the helmet and you can see that yours are much higher/longer than any reference photo and should be an easy fix before applying for Centurion. 

 

Your blaster  has heavy weathering and the T-tracks look bent and misshaped. Painted black it might not be as visible.

And that should do it. Real nice job on applying the fixes that your fellow troopers pointed out and over all its a pretty clean build. The Shoulders will be your main blocker for Centurion but with the skills you've shown here to reach EIB leaves no doubt in my mind i'll see you at the next level. - congrats, see you at Centurion
