TKSpartan[Staff] Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Hi Sherry Thank you for your EIB application. It's now in the processing line . There are a couple of details we'll need you to address before we can continue with your review. 1- CRL L2: Clips shall be attached with slotted type, flat or dome top style screws, and be black Just a short painting session to give a Black paint coat to the screws and ready to go. 2- A photo of your ABS Belt laying flat as you can see in the example bellow please. Thank you and one of us will be with you as soon as possible. Quote
Adianu[TK] Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Posted March 22, 2023 Appreciate the super fast response! I don't know how I missed that the TD screws should be painted black Here we go: And man, my belt loves its heat bath curve! Held it down to get a better shot here: Thanks in advance for any additional comments! 2 Quote
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Thank your , so fast !! I forgot two more photo request Could you please add a picture of the 6 rivets on the left side (no need to put on the armor) with the two sides lined up and the Han Snap. Something like this: Thank you. Quote
TKSpartan[Staff] Posted March 31, 2023 Report Posted March 31, 2023 Hi Sherry, 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. Starting at the top, you could trim the last tab of the back sections of the shoulder bridge in the middle. Lowering the forearms would give you some more confort when carry on your blaster. 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. CRL L3: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. This is an easy fix, just a little strapping adjustment and if you trim the return edge of the Bells , this would help to get then closer to the chest armor. Reference Images Reference Images We have a more challenging fix here but we are confident you can do it Trooper. Your shoulder bridges are riding a little higher (floating) over your shoulder bells as pointed bellow. A suggested solution is to bend down the shoulder section of the back plate to allow rising it up a little more. Plase take a read to this ShaSha's Building Thread that shows this fix. Reference Images CRL L3: Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching. Yours are effectively latex-like as the required ones for L3. But you will need to add a little more glue to affix them better. Reference Images Moving down, you may want to trim the small ab buttons plate a little more. Reference images CRL L3 : Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. While your Ab/Kidney left side connection looks good, the right side will need some strapping adjustment to reduce de gap. Easy fix.! Reference Images And that's all Sherry, Congratulations for joining the EIB ranks and we'll be waiting for your next step. Centurion when ready. 2 Quote
Adianu[TK] Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Posted March 31, 2023 Hooray, thank you! And I’m super relieved to see that I had almost all of the recommended Centurion updates in my plans already. Nothing too scary. I have my first TK troop next weekend, I will see which of these I can get done in time for that vs right after!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote
