tythetrooper[TK] Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Posted March 18, 2020 I think I just tried to submit all the photos just now, do you know if it work Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 Yes, plenty of photos there Ty, good luck with your application. Quote
CableGuy[TK] Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 Great job overall, Tyrone. Just a little thing I’d fix for general appearance; As above, your biceps are currently not aligned with your biceps. They should be twisted inwards to align the coverstrips. To achieve this, I’d suggest adjusting or tweaking your bicep to forearm elastics. Here’s how the originals were attached;Note how the coverstrips align straight down the arm. Best of luck with your application, Tyrone. Overall, looking sharp, Trooper. 2 Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 SUPER nice job on this armor, Tyrone! Before we can move ya' forward I need one thing, brother... as per the CRL for basic approval, the paint on the frown "...does not leave the teeth area". The bottoms are spot-on, but the tops need a little tweaking. Some paint remover and a toothpick will clean up those areas pretty fast! Easy fix!! Reference images Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 21, 2020 Report Posted March 21, 2020 Hi Tyrone, Your review is complete, but there is a bit of confusion that needs to be cleared up before I can add the badge to your profile. In your initial post at the top your screen name is listed as Tythephantom, and there is no 501st access: Did you change your screen name to tythetrooper? Please edit your initial post with the correct info. and then I can post your badge. Thanks! Quote
tythetrooper[TK] Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Posted March 21, 2020 Sorry for the confusion, I wanted tythephantom as my name on here but it was already taken I think. That’s why I chose tythetrooper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 21, 2020 Report Posted March 21, 2020 G'day, Tyrone, and thank you for your EI submission! In the following review I will be going over items pertaining to your current submission, as well as those that will be required for Centurion level should you choose to apply. (And I think you should)! 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 Sha Sha and myself, 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. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Alright, brother, you obviously spent some SERIOUS time on this armor, and it shows! Some of the items listed may take a bit of work, but I have every faith that you can take care of these issues so that we can get a Centurion badge under your name soon! We are recommending that the brow be raised a bit. Although Hero buckets had a brow that sat lower, for the most part Stunt bucket brows generally sat higher. EASY fix! Reference images Although not a necessity, if you want to go for a little more screen accuracy (and since you have the extra length) you can trim off the large tabs on the back of the shoulder bridges. Reference images You absolutely nailed the edges of the large one, but the small ab-button plate could stand to be trimmed down a tiny bit. Remember, it's all about the details! Reference images The right one is perfect, but a noticeable dressing issue is the top of your left calf alignment in the rear. Simplest fix ever! 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 those for Expert Infantry, 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. Just a few things to go over here, Tyrone.. As per the CRL, the tube stripes on both sides should be "..positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek". Yours are sitting pretty low and need to be raised a bit. Reference image They may very well be present, but in your photos I could not see the thin white elastic bands holding the shoulder straps down. These are required for Level 3, and are another crazy easy fix! Again, you are incredibly close on this one but the gap between the ab and kidney need to be closed up. Reference images For L3 the ABS belt will need to come up a cm or so. It should at least touch the bottom button(s) but can over-ride them a bit as seen in the reference photos. Reference images And last up, you are missing the flash guard from your E-11. This is actually a pretty easy repair! Just bend a piece of scrap ABS into a semi circle, trim/sand it down and CA glue it on. Before gluing it to the barrel, I would sand down the area around the hole for better adhesion. After the glue dries, hit it with a coat of paint and you are good to go! Reference image And that's it! We hope you will take these issues to heart and hopefully get that Centurion submission in as soon as you get the chance. Now get out there, express your obvious esprit de corps and make the Redback Garrison proud as their newest EIB recipient! 1 Quote
