justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 28, 2020 Report Posted April 28, 2020 Hi again Ted! Before we can move along, can you provide a few additional close-up photos for us? The first would be of the traps/tears on your bucket The reason being is that the color on your traps/tear decals appears to be a very different color than the ear bars and frown, (although this may be the lighting). Having a slightly different color is not a big deal, but yours seems to have a metallic/silver finish as opposed to the gray on the ear bumps/frown. The other photo(s) we need are ones of the rear of your thigh armor as seen below. No need to get suited up, though! Many thanks, and I look forward to seeing the new pics!! 1 Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Hi Ted, 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. 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. First, THANKS for the fast fixes on the trap paint, kapatid ko. (Nice job, by the way)! We are suggesting that (if possible) you line the ears up a little better, sir. Ideally, the ear screws should line up with the rear angle of the trap above them. The top two on the right are pretty close, but the bottom sits a lot farther back than the left. The entire left one could come forward a centimeter or thereabouts, and you may have to remove one or two tube stripes so that the ear doesn't cover them. Reference images 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. As per the CRLs for Level 3, there should be "...a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates". You have quite large spaces in those areas which would unfortunately not meet that requirement at this time. The tops of the shoulder bells should also ideally touch the ABS shoulder bridge. Reference image It looks to me that the sides of the bells supplied with the SE kit are a lot more narrow than most other makers, or that they may have been over-trimmed and will need to be replaced, sad to say. Reference image Reference images Although the left ab/kidney connection is perfect, the CRL also states that there should be "... no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor". The gap you have is minimal, and could probably be eliminated by tightening up the connection. Reference images The ABS belt will need to come up about 1.5 cm (2 would be better) to where the top covers the bottom of the ab-button plates. Reference images It may be the camera angle, but the ridge at the bottom of the the left front thigh looks to have a small gap. A piece of scrap ABS behind this would be good or better yet you cold fill the gap with ABS paste. Reference image Last up, (another easy fix here) the paint on the outside rivet on your ammo pack needs a paint touch-up. Reference images And that's it! You did a really nice job on this set of armor, Ted, and you should be proud! Although the shoulder bells are the main issue, the rest of the items should be pretty easy to address, and I really hope you can get these taken care of so that we can see that Centurion application soon. I know we can't troop right now, but the next time you do it will be as a member of the Expert Infantry! 1 Quote
