Chemi[Staff] Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 Hello Ben...This armor looks great!!! Added to the process line...We'll be with you soon 2 Quote
Chemi[Staff] Posted April 5, 2022 Report Posted April 5, 2022 Hi Ben, and thank you for your application for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry! CRL and EIB Application Requirements All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to EI! On behalf of the entire DO staff, 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. -We start from the top: -Ideally, placement of ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the trap above them. Yours are close to perfect, but it would be great if you decide to rotate them a bit...not easy, but "who said fear"? Reference Images -It looks like you forgot to snap your cod/posterior connection A really nice build,Ben. . We can only congratulate you for the result. For centurion, we have a couple of issues. We have no doubt it won't be a problem for you. 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. We have noticed a problem with the back of your thighs(It's a common problem, and easier to solve than it seems, so don't worry...). The top of the thighs should have some gap with the butt plate, to avoid bites, and make the overall look much better. We would not suggest lowering the thighs, as in front, they are perfect. We think that trimming both thighs down will solve the problem. If you snap your cod/posterior connection, you will also increase the space for your thighs... Reference Images Although reviewing your pre-approval thread, it seems that this problem did not exist... Even so, we believe that the above will make you feel more comfortable when trooping(and more screen-accurate)... Nothing else to add Ben...Hope to see your Centurion application soon...Congratulations!!!! Quote

benthemonkey[TK] Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Hooray! Thanks for the feedback. 1 hour ago, Chemi said: We have noticed a problem with the back of your thighs(It's a common problem, and easier to solve than it seems, so don't worry...).

We think that trimming both thighs down will solve the problem. If you snap your cod/posterior connection, you will also increase the space for your thighs... I'll be participating in my first Troop this Saturday, so hopefully I'll know after that whether I want to do any additional trimming. Can you point me to any instructions specific to trimming down already-finished thigh armor, in case I want to pursue that option? Would I basically be losing some of the return edge that currently exists in the top inner thigh armor? Do I tear off the cover strip first or just trim it all in-place? Otherwise I'll try to find a nice, bright, high-contrast area to take some updated photos before I send in my centurion application. Although it seems like I can pretty much apply with what I have. I'm satisfied with the look of my tube stripes and ear placement as long as they fall within the acceptable range, and would rather not risk damaging the helmet. Edited April 5, 2022 by Ben R 1 Quote
