Tall_Trooper[TK] Posted December 15 Report Posted December 15 Nice looking TK! Maybe you can put a little abs paste in the small gap. Like this Good Luck Quote
0megaRed[TK] Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 12:09 AM Thanks for the heads up! that's something I never thought of doing, should I wait 'till the app team mentions it? Would it pass EIB status 'as is'? I do plan on going to Centurion level so it will be done! 1 Quote

Would it pass EIB status 'as is'? I do plan on going to Centurion level so it will be done! If you have a look at other EIB applications you may notice it has been asked as a L3 Centurion requirement Here's just one Centurion Requirements: A bit of filler in the gaps on the bottom of the thigh joint in the back will need to be applied. This can be done with ABS paste or Sugru. CRL L3: Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable. References You should be fine for EIB You may want to just take out the extra material in the corners of your forearms Also add a little white paint to the rim of your hovi's 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. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM There are a couple of other things you may want to address, note these are suggestions and you are welcome to disregard and wait for the DO's review, but if you have time wouldn't hurt to address some. Your arms are touching in several places, I would try to bring your biceps up (they are quite low), giving you more room at the elbows. Shoulder elastic around bicep looks loose (rear photo) Your shins at not at the same height on the boots, adding some velcro or elastic inside can help keep them down. Belt could come up a bit: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Your belt is slightly on an angle Trim the sharp corners off the tops of the thigh coverstrips or they will dig in you when moving If your stickers aren't too old you could add some tape, pry them off carefully and replace a pencil width from the cheek Ideally, the tube stripes are positioned approximately a pencil width from the side of the cheek. Ab and kidney look to be overlapping Drop boxes should align with the end of the plastic belt For Level 3, Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Detonator could come down a little Hand plates do not look like they are affixed to the gloves, could be in wrong position Looks like you have velcro under your rear shoulder straps, these should free float. Arms touching Overlap side AB/Kidney Posterior touching thighs Loose shoulder bell elastic Using a contrasting background is best when taking your photos, especially for those like your GWL (garrison web liaison) or FISD honor gallery editor Once again these are suggestions, you are welcome to wait until you hear from the Deployment Team Good luck with your application Quote
0megaRed[TK] Posted Tuesday at 03:22 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 03:22 AM thank you gmrhodes13 for taking the time to 'dissect' my armor and fitment! this is exactly what I needed to focus on specific parts to get my suit on to the next level! 1 Quote
Doggydoc[Staff] Posted Friday at 03:02 PM Report Posted Friday at 03:02 PM Hi Eric, Thank you for your EIB application. Your armour is looking great and I must comment that I think you have the cleanest paint job on your ab buttons that I have seen to date. Before approving you for EIB, we are going to need a few fixes to your kit. Lets start at the top and work our way down. We will also need a bit of white paint on the tip of your Hovi - Mix Aerators. This should be a pretty quick fix with a few minutes of painting. CRL L2: 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. References Shoulder armour / Biceps Your shoulder armour strap looks to be a bit loose I suspect this may be due to the biceps armour piece sitting too low. The shoulder strap should wrap around the body of the biceps. For a better overall look, we will ask to bring your biceps and forearms up a bit to provide symmetrical gaps between the biceps and forearm and the forearm and hand plate. This will likely just require some minor modifications to your strapping. References Hand Plates Your hand plates do not appear to be completely attached to the gloves. They should not be lifting as seen on your application photos but instead should be completely attached on all sides. A few minutes with some adhesive should easily correct this. Basic CRL: Roughly pentagonal in shape, the hand plates are mounted securely over the back of the glove. As an alternative to plastic, these may be made out of latex or latex-like material. References Thermal Detonator The control panel detail on your thermal detonator is a bit too high. The circle portion and raised rectangular sections should face to the back and not up. This can be corrected by carefully opening up the curl of the bracket to allow the detonator to roll down a bit, allowing the panel to face more to the back. Basic CRL: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. References Shins When dressing, ensure that both shins are sitting evenly, your left shin is sitting a bit high. This can be fixed with a bit of velcro between the bottom of the shin and the tongue of the boot. References Quote
