TKSpartan[Staff] Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 Hi Katie, great build of yours! getting EIB badge will be easy!!. As per the instructions for request EIB status says: Creating Application Post Request 501st membership status Create new post in the Request Expert Infantry Status forum Format the topic title as follows: TK0123 requesting COSTUME_NAME EIB status [ARMOR TYPE] List the mandatory costume information below Put photos directly into the post I would suggest to check the following links so you can post your photos directly into your EIB application post. This will make the D.O team can review it faster . Of course you can use whatever app you desire to do the same. Cheers and good luck with your approval. Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 9, 2019 Report Posted December 9, 2019 Hi Katie, and THANKS for the Phantastic Capt. Phasma submission! You have an awesome looking build there, but we ask that you use imgur or a similar photo-sharing service to post the actual pics onto your thread. I realize there are a lot of them (which we really appreciate) and it may take some time, but it will make it much easier to expedite your submission and get you approved. Doing this also helps those who may be planning on submitting this costume for EI to see what an incredible job you have done and hopefully aim for the higher levels as well. You did a lot of work, so show it off, Captain! Quote
Surgtech[TK] Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks for the feedback! I tried doing it by hand and they were too big! Then I saw something about photobucket that's why I did the link. I'm trying imgur now! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 Beautiful finish, good luck with approval Quote
Surgtech[TK] Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Posted December 16, 2019 How long does this usually take to get an answer if you are approved or not? Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 16, 2019 Report Posted December 16, 2019 Apologies for the delay, Katie! One of us will be with ya' shortly, I promise! Quote
Surgtech[TK] Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Posted December 16, 2019 No worries! I was just curious! I know how busy it's been for all of us with troops! Quote
msouza[TK] Posted December 20, 2019 Report Posted December 20, 2019 Hi Katie! As Joseph said sorry for the delay. And as you said between Christmas parades and now ROS premieres it’s been a whirlwind. Looks like i have all I need and plan on starting tonight and hopefully up for review with my other DO’s by weekends end! It’s a pretty aggressive schedule and hopefully Darth Real life doesn’t interrupt. Thanks again for your patience and we’ll talk soon! Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 27, 2019 Report Posted December 27, 2019 Wow - this looks great! Really complete on the photo set you shared - hopefully you'll get good news soon. Quote
Surgtech[TK] Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Posted December 27, 2019 Thank you! I'm hoping no feed back is good news! Quote
msouza[TK] Posted January 2, 2020 Report Posted January 2, 2020 Happy New Year Katie, Thanks for your patience and you application for EIB with your Phasma, it's always great to see fellow troopers taken that extra step! I wanted to take a little extra time and get some input from my fellow D.O's 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. The first thing that stands out and is more of a dress issue is your shoulder gaskets. I know it's mostly covers with the cape and it could just be from movement from all the photos. Just be mindful of it bunching up. Reference Photo Looks as if the same issue is on the arm/elbow joints as well. It seems to me that the gasket material might be a little big causing the problem. You'll see in the reference photo how its almost form fitting,then again I know we walk a fine line between fitting and functionality. Again just be mindful when dressing. Reference Photos 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. You have an amazing build and honestly the only thing that really sticks out and I hate to keep going back to it would be the fit of your arms. I would start with the gaskets first maybe have them taken in a bit and see if that makes the difference, (it looks as it should) I'm posting screen grabs and the Vanity Fair shoot and you'll see what i'm referring to. Reference Photos Again you have an amazing build with a top notch finish and it looks as if your build had Centurion in mind from the start. Just a couple minor tweaks and your there. - congrats, see you at Centurion. Quote
Surgtech[TK] Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Posted January 2, 2020 Awesome! Thank you so much! When can I get my patch for it? I'll apply for Centurion after I try to fix the gaskets this weekend! 1 Quote
