gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Nice work trooper, a great build overall, a couple of suggestions before the DO's get here: Your shoulder straps on the back are not quite centered to the backplate, also there is white excess elastic showing Noticed your cocking lever is silver, these are normally black star- Could you also post thigh ammo strip inside connectors, I know the DO's like to see that Good luck with approval although I doubt you will need it. 2 Quote

Nice catches there! Those pesky elastics. And what a great pic ref of the E-11. Thank you. I'll add pics now. Sent from my Imperial Comlink Edited November 26, 2020 by MightyAtom 1 Quote

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted December 4, 2020 Report Posted December 4, 2020 Hi Mark, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. 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 armour. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. *************************************************** I followed your Building Thread till your pre approval submission and let me say you did an awesome work with your build . Let's start with the Helmet. We are suggesting to clean up a bit your vocoder to reflect the more accuracy the the screen used helmet. This is an easy fix ! Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. This could be just a dressing issue or a hot bath need, but your left shoulder bridge seems is not quite centered to the backplate, also there is a little "curl" of elastic showing, just something to consider every time you suit up. . Reference Images CRL L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top Looking closely to your ab to kidney connection, we noticed that the kidney plate protrudes a bit from the ab plate and causes a noticeable gap on the left side, this could be just a simple strapping adjustment. Reference Images CRl L3: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. It would be necessary to raise your AB belt a bit to achieve the L3 requirement , in your case it seems that you already have a Velcro piece on the abdominal plate so it is easy to adjust. Reference Images Finally , your E11 Blaster. Your your cocking lever is silver color and these are normally black , a little silver (weathering) is ok, as you can see in the reference images. Just a simple detail and easy to fix in a quick painting session. Reference Images Congratulations again and looking forward for your Centurion submission soon. Well done Trooper !!! *************************************************** 2 Quote
