There we go, everything should actually appear now!🙂

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

A few things you may want to address before the DO's get here.

 

Swap this snap, flat side faces out  

       

 

Looks like you have taken off too much material off from your large ab plate

Note the area around the base, yours is missing 

    

 

You have some paint on your gums, Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. 

Also if your tube stripes are decals and recently applied you may be able to remove them on your right side (put tape on top of them, carefully lift, then replace) 

• Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek.

 

My internet is not allowing all your images to load, I'll try have a look if there is anything else needed  

 

 

 

[lugalleg[TK]]

I'll start working on it!

Thanks!

Hi Lucas,  Your application has been added to the queue.

[Doggydoc[Staff]]

Hi Lucas.

 

I will be the DO reviewing your application.  Before I begin, could you please add a few photos for me? 

 

1. I will need a photo showing the wrist section of your forearms.  The one you have in the application is of the elbow side of the forearm.  I need a photo from this side as shown below.

 

2. Could you please also add a close up view of the ab and kidney plate rivets on the left side?  Again, similar to the one in the photo below.

 

3. A photo showing your helmet viewed from behind.

 

Thank you.

 

 

[lugalleg[TK]]

I will post the pics for you. Thanks!

Let me know if you need anything else! 

[Doggydoc[Staff]]

Hi Lucas @lugalleg,

 

Thank you for your EIB application.  before we go ahead, there are a couple of items that will need to be fixed on your armour. 

 

1. As mentioned by Glen above, we will need you to remove the excess grey paint from the gum area of the helmet.  Only the teeth should be painted with the area above the cutouts left white.  This may be achieved by carefully scratching the excess paint off with a toothpick dipped in mineral spirits / varsol.  Do not use acetone as it will damage the plastic.

 

CRL L1: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. A total of 8 cut outs in the teeth area of the frown are present.

                                                                                                                                                    References

       

 

2. Your blaster looks great, but there are still some visible print lines that will require some further sanding.

CRL L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance.

 

 

 

Please let us know if you need any further clarification.

You're so close, Lucas! Knock out those two items and you'll be EI in no time!

[lugalleg[TK]]

Thanks! I will get on it!

[lugalleg[TK]]

I am still working on my TK, got distracted for a bit getting my Cad Bane approved , but I am back on it!

Hello! Attached below are updates to these items.

Tube Strips:

 

Plate Fixing:

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

You may want to fill the gap between the ab plate and backing piece with some ABS paste, most do who have to make this modification. Corners are not generally rounded off too.

 

[lugalleg[TK]]

Will do

How to here

 

[lugalleg[TK]]

[lugalleg[TK]]

Went all the way around with ABS paste and sharpened the corners

Hi Lucas @lugalleg, great job on the fixes. While I work on your review, would you be able to send another photo of the Han snap , showing it a bit from the side.  Yours appears to be thicker than it should be.

 

[lugalleg[TK]]

The snap does sit a little proud, probably why it looks thicker than it really is. I will inset it so it is flush with the armor surface. Then I will get another pic to you. Just not today, my pesky job gets in the way of the fun stuff🙂

[lugalleg[TK]]

[lugalleg[TK]]

Inset the snap a bit more, and I wasn't late for work!

Hi Lucas,

 

We are almost there and on going through your application a final time, there were a couple of things that I did not catch the first time around. Sorry for all of the back and forth but we want your armour to stand out at the higher levels.

 

Could you please trim back the rear cover strip on your left thigh slightly as it extends a bit beyond the lower ridge

CRL Basic: Cover strip must end at the top of the lower ridge in front and back.

 

 

The decals for your tears and rear traps appear to not be put on smoothly and seem to have wrinkles in them.  On the rear traps, this may be a lighting artifact.  Could you please correct these or if this is just an optical effect from reflection, provide clearer photos to show that they are applied smoothly?

   

 

Keep up the good work,  you are very close now.

[lugalleg[TK]]

I'm on it!
