Congratulations! Welcome to EIB.

Hi all! Sorry for this being posted a little off topic but just saw this and wanted to get it out there. If any of you are out and about today shopping for last minute cheap crap and come across a five below they have these for 5 bucks. Cover price is normally 45$ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been quite busy with the armor. Here are some progress pictures. Decided not to bring the armor to the auto paint shop and do the painting myself after all. Lot's of bondo on the chest piece, busy with sanding with grit 220: Filler on the chest piece: Close-up of the vent and pill holes: The shoulder bell with bondo, also sanded with grit 220: Shoulder bell after filler: Shoulder bells with Sanding Aid on them very lightly: Shoulder bell grit 800: Now I put again filler on the shoulder bell and Sanding Aid and will sand it with grit 1000 and them paint it. Attached the greeblies: Cut the vent holes in the helmet and added mesh: Next to do: Reinforce some parts with polyester and fiberglass (mainly the yoke). Sand other parts with 220 grit, put filler on, sand with 800, one more layer of filler and then grit 1000 then paint Will keep you updated. Mark

Don’t think they’re doing a run at the moment. I’m keeping an eye out for the next time they do. I’ve already sprayed (well, re-sprayed) a lid in my renovation project. It would be great to do that on a more accurate lid and to weather it like the screen used lids. :-)

Congratulations trooper

Hi Ryan, Thank you for your EIB application and for the additional photo. Let's get straight in to it... CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos appear to be present. You've made a really nice job of your armour, well done. On behalf of the FISD Deployment team I'd like to welcome you to Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this area we discuss any areas still needing some improvement. Though they will not hold you back from Centurion, Centurion is the elite level of accuracy and what we suggest here will help you reach that. As I mentioned above, you've made a lovely job with your armour. There are some small areas that we think you help you elevate your armour even further. We'll start from the top and work through them. If it does not damage or upset the alignment of your lid, we would suggest adjusting the angle of your right ear. These should, ideally, line up with the angle of the trap, as shown below. Also, it could be the angle of the photo, however, your right tube stripes appear to be further from the cheek nearer the ear. Ideally, the tube stripes would be approx a no. 2 pencil width from the cheek, equally from front to back. Ref Tubestripe reference; Moving down a little, there are a few simply dressing issues that could be addressed. A very common request is to get as small a gap between the shoulder bells and the chest armour. It looks like you might be able to squeeze that right shoulder bell in a little to match the left one. Your arm spacing could do with a little tweeking. I would suggest lowering your right bicep and forearm a little to even out the forearm to hand guard gap. Also, your thighs and shins are currently not lining up. It looks like your shins should twist out a little and the thighs should angle in. Examples below; The arm spacing is also apparent from the back. Also, be careful when aligning your shins closures to get them nicely aligned. It looks as if the inside half of your right shin/calf extends too far over and the outside half is angled down. With that amount of overlap it looks like you should be able to trim it down to match the left one, which looks much cleaner. Your butt plate appears to be riding over your kidney plate. As per the reference picture, this should sit just below the kidney, rather than overlapping. Adjusting your strapping is likely to resolve this. Whilst your sniper knee is okay for EIB as it meets the requirement, it does appear to be leaning back quite a bit. I would consider removing and realigning the sniper plate for a neater look. Your blaster looks really nice. Just a few things stood out to me. Firstly, the scope rail appears to be quite bent/curved. For a cleaner look, this could be straightened out so that it is horizontal. Also, if we are getting really fussy, (), your handle appears to have some metal effect weathering - the handle of the original sterling would have been plastic, so would not have suffered this type of weathering. A gloss black paint would help to recreate the original look a little better. Here is a pic of an original plastic Sterling grip for reference: Finally on your blaster, we would highly recommend upgrading to a more accurate D-ring. As you'll see below, the original D-rings were not as long as the current item you have fitted to your end cap. Applicant's; Reference photo; Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. At this stage, I cannot see any obvious areas that would prevent you reaching Centurion. We hope to see you applying soon, trooper.

Good Luck Oscar

Boots from Imperialboots

That's impressive for a 3D print! Edit: Ah-Ha! "Rayabear" is Blastermaster, he mentions in the comments. That explains it. Blastermaster's 3D printed blasters are quite nice. Way more work than I'm willing to put into a blaster, when there are so many other options, but for those who enjoy the build process as much as owning it, these are outstanding.

As requested here's some side shots with no Belt. Left Right Flexible Hand guards on the other set of Gloves (Have 2)

When ever in doubt about a costumes detachment you can find a detailed list here also by detachment here

As long as it meets centurion requirements, looks like screen used blasters and you spend some time getting rid of printing lines then there shouldn’t be an issue.

Another suggestion would be to look up Ross of RWA Creations, you can find him on FB or here @Ross8008

Vintage hooks for screen accurate shin-closure

So the Imperial Gaskets are definitely helping fill the gap between me and the armor. At least with the bicep and forearm pieces. We'll see how much it will help with filling the thigh and calf pieces as they are humongous on me and the main pieces I'm worried I'll have to trim. Also I see now what everyone was saying about the limited mobility with real rubber gaskets. I think I will purchase cloth gaskets for more casual events so I can be more comfortable.
