TKSpartan[Staff] Posted April 18, 2023 Report Posted April 18, 2023 Hi Dan , 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 from top. The screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. The right one looks great and the left one could be improved a little. Reference Images Your small ab buttons plate could be trimmed a little more for accuracy Reference Images Your TD is sitting quite high (minimal but we noted as suggestion), so you might see if you can push it down further, or possibly 'unroll' the clips so it sits lower. *************************************************** 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: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. As you can see bellow , your sniper knee is riding a little lower and the top of the shin can be seen . If you used E6000 tu fix the Sniper Knee , it would be easy to fix the position. Reference Images And that's all Trooper! Congratulations for reaching EIB with this new version of your armor.!!! looking for your Centurion Submission soon Sir. 1 Quote

Congratulations for reaching EIB with this new version of your armor.!!! looking for your Centurion Submission soon Sir. Mario, thank you very much! And I appreciate your suggestions. For now I am going to leave my left ear as is. I don't think there will be enough plastic left underneath if I adjust it. If it poses a problem for Centurion we can discuss it. Ab buttons, easy fix. Much easier than my first go around TD clips I will see if I can unroll a bit. These were from Tony, ukswrath, for your reference. Question for my sniper knee because this was something I wondered about when I was building it, It is sitting flat on my shin currently, if I adjust to be in line with the ridges then it won't be sitting flat anymore. Is that how it should be then? As long as it is in line with the ridges? It is hard to tell from reference pics and not the same mold as my previous kit so this is somewhat new to me. Thank you for your comments. You should expect my Centurion submission soon Quote

The Crl states for L2: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. Depending on the armor, some molds match exactly the sniper knee flat and aligned with the ridges of the shin as you rightly pointed and on the contrary others don't match flat. On screen with can see both, flat and with little gap . Since the CRL requirement is to be aligned with the ridges, a little gap in the bottom is allowable . Example EIB app References References Gap Flat You can make a Pre-glue test and post here or by PM to see how it looks. 2 Quote
