gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 26 Report Posted November 26 You will need to add each photo link to your post not just a link to your gallery. You also have quite a few issues with your build, I would suggest comparing with the CRL https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt you can also compare with our gallery section https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/category/24-anh-tk-reference/. Another good idea is look over other EIB applications and what is approvable and what is not https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/19-request-expert-infantry-status/ Especially your detonator, I dare say you will need to replace those end caps, they should not be stepped. You also need screws not rivets on the brackets, compare with the reference below. You can also check if you are missing any photos https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/49703-ei-photo-checklist-updated-version-2024/ 2 Quote
tgeorge[TK] Posted November 27 Author Report Posted November 27 ok. One thing at a time then. I will make the thermal detonator more pretty. I will take pictures with a ruler in the background for reference after adjustments. Thank you for you patience and guidance 1 Quote
Nairy[Staff] Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 Hello Tom! Awesome to see you apply for Expert Infantry! Great job so far, you look like a Stormtrooper! Some suggestions on what you can do to make it look better! It looks like you've left too much return edge on many of your pieces: The bottom "lip" (return edge) of your chest could use a ltitle more trimming! The button plates could use a trimming, and the buttons could use a touch up as well, making them rounder and cover a little more of the bumps (not all the way down though) The vocoder could use a touch up Cut out one more hole for an additional tooth as per the base requirement for 501st approval: A total of 8 cut outs in the teeth area of the frown are present. I must just say, great attention to detail regarding the teeth paint though! They look awesome! Just extend the pain and cut out one more tooth and you're good there! Dab some white paint on that rim! Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white. Don't forget to close your shins! Looks like your butt plate is sticking out! 2 Quote
Nairy[Staff] Posted November 27 Report Posted November 27 Just to have it mentioned: Here is a comparison to your helmet (also an ATA kit), and it looks like your ear sits a little bit low? EIB thread for comparison The bottom of the ear sticks out! It also looks like your trim is a little bit on the round side compared to what we usually see! EIB thread for comparison 1 Quote
tgeorge[TK] Posted November 27 Author Report Posted November 27 Thank you for going over this already! I do have my work cut out for me but it seems possible still. Thank you again for the input! Quote

Thank you again for the input! But don't get discouraged! There is no stress, and doing it in your own tempo is always the best when it comes to these things. I must just add that I'm not a Deployment Officer either, I just pointed out some things that can help with the look overall! Regarding the painting of your tube stripes, you have done the arches a bit thin! You have painted them the correct distance from the cheek, so that's great! But did you use two pieces of tape (one above the paint area and one below)? The ends of the lines are straight (an effect of removing masking tape from the paint area), and they are usually a teeny tiny bit thicker! It would really help with the look of the helmet! Painting them with masking tape is much easier than without it! So that considered, very well done! The tape (I feel) makes it easier to do more even stripes since you can be a little less careful with it! They lean the wrong way a little bit, see the reference below! The tops of the stripes lean more forwards than the bottoms, the closer you get to the front of the helmet! 1 Quote

Once you have posted the requested photos directly into your post and you have done the fixes as fellow Troopers pointed we'll proceed with your review. Take your time and we'll be ready when you're ready . 2 Quote
