Hi Ardeshir,

 

This one is in the line, hang in there buddy, thank you for your patience. 

 

[equuspolo[TK]]

Same question.  Should I just forget about these two submissions? I’m fine with walking away from these submissions if the question I raised regarding the methodology behind the ring and ring holder which actually doesn’t even apply to this one.  Just curious. 

[equuspolo[TK]]

Not really sure what is holding up this application?

Nice upgrade

Thanks brother.  The color of the red is so hard to catch in a photo.  It’s a solid bright red and it looks so cool.  I’m the photo you see the white glow but in person it’s not that at all and so hard to catch on camera.  It’s such a nice upgrade to be honest. 
 

thank you

No worries at all

Hi Ardeshir

 

In order to continue with your review, I would need you to address a couple of details on your TFA submission.

 

1-  Update de F11 D Blaster Photo with NO Picatinny Rail, even though you have clarified it was removed for the full armor action photo, we would like  to avoid any confusion for future applicants.

 

 

 

 

2- As the CRl states for Level 2 :  3D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance.

 

Your SE-44C Pistol looks like showing some printed  lines that will need be sanded a bit more .

 

[equuspolo[TK]]

It’s not printed lines it’s rhe way it was but not print lines.  I believe in the actual file but I’ll fix that for sure and no problem on rhe f-11 photos as well 

[equuspolo[TK]]

[equuspolo[TK]]

print lines removed on site.  The lines you pointed out on grip are not print lines they are the grip texture

Hi Ardeshir!  So at this point we have a bit of a dilemma.  Although your blaster is good to go, since you have included your SE-44C with your submission it also falls under the CRL requirement that 

3D printed blasters can not have visible print lines and must be sanded smooth.

 

I understand your statement about the grip texture, but as you can see below there are several areas that need to be addressed in order to meet that requirement.

 

    

 

If you have taken care of these already that's GREAT!  If so, just post up a few detail pics and we can move along.    Since only one weapon is required for this level, the alternative would be to remove all images of the pistol from your submission thread.

 

[equuspolo[TK]]

It’s removed.  It is barely if at all visible in person.  Photos capture it a bit but in person it is not captured but I removed it.  I don’t have time right now to do it so I just removed it

[TKSpartan[Staff]]

Hi Ardeshir , 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 armor, and please keep in mind that  we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.

 

Looking at the under suit, it looks very wrinkled in that area, not a big deal and probably noticeable only when under direct light. But we pointed since we can see it
 

                                                                                                                                                             Reference Images

                                               

 

                                                                                   ***************************************************

Centurion Requirements:

In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval.  Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 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 are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.

 



Moving down the calves , they seem too big, a lot of gap can be seen between the armor and the leg(pic. 1). This is something we could see in your previous TFA  application (pic. 2), but it seems that in this case, it is a bit more evident...

 

 

                        #1 Current app                               different angle                                                   #2 Previous TFA app                                               

 

                            



 

  Once more, Congratulations Trooper !!!  

[equuspolo[TK]]

Thank you brother.  Appreciate it beyond words.  As soon as I have modified the SE-44C I will upload it for future reference as well.  Thank you again for everything
