I wanted to let everyone know about the delayed response time to Diana's application. There was an issue with her armor that we discussed and Diana made the decision that she wanted to correct it before the final review. The issue was with her left side rivets. In a perfect world, EVERYONE'S kidney and ab tops would align perfectly. Although the alignment is a bit off, It was determined that the rivet placements did not coincide with the kidney and ab if the parts DID line up. Diana is currently installing new rivet locations on her kidney so that the hardware is properly aligned on both the ab and kidney. A++++ for effort , young lady!!!!

Make sure you extend the frown a bit from that last tooth dent. It should taper down to a point. Nice work so far!

This looks great! In my opinion, some areas look a little enthusiastic regarding the weathering. If I were to tone anything down a bit, it would be the gold on the counter. By the way, the magazine is designed to go into the mag well just a little bit further. It should go in all the way to the pointed edges on the front and the points on the rear clip. Also, the nuts on the power cylinders are HUGE. Great build, though. It's nice to see such careful work go into another doopydoos build.

I would balance off the weathering by scuffing the blue, too. Looks awesome!! Great detail!

+1

The only hope you might have is to do an Ebay search. No one here deals with FX armor past or present.

This is awesome so far. Well done on the helmet! I would go back and check the paint on the back traps. The vent lines are a little generous.

Is it really that bad??

Which helmet? If you're asking about the one on the right, it's an outdated FX helmet. Not even worth wondering about.

BOW TO THE COD!!!

If they are ESB

I wanna see the video when someone didn't understand what you said and goes down to hear you more clearly. I just said that didn't I?

http://trooperbay.com/te-derived-esb-stormtrooper-helmet-decals/Seek out trooperbay. He will have the correct decals for an ESB helmet

These people count on their customers not to be able to recognize the difference. As Mathias said, ANYBODY posting different pictures of the same product they are trying to sell is a scammer and a liar.

Knowledge is power. You, Diana, actually have more knowledge now than the average trooper having to custom fit the armor to YOUR frame is something that just isn;t done too often. Thank goodness you have gone a few pages without mentioning your.......cr......never mind. I will go blush in private now.

we're not going anywhere!

I hope these pics help

Hey Rafa! I hope I can explain this well. That is a picture of your bicep. The "thumbprint" or the horseshoe dent is supposed to be on your left arm. Your bicep is between your shoulder and elbow. Your forearm is between your wrist and elbow.

Very nice, Sir!!!! VERY nice!

To Mathias you listen

Few if any armor makers offer pre-trimmed helmets

I don't know why I didn't pick this up on your EIB app, but you might want to retake your full body shots withe forearms on the correct arms. One side has a molded ridge that the finish strip sits on the other does not. The molded ridge should be on top. At quick look, it looks great!!

Hey there, Twan! Thank you so much for your EIB application! Let's take a look at your RS build!!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted. Photos of your thigh pack and sniper knee are required only for Centurion. Your armor has all details that Expert Infantry requires. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EXPERT INFANTRY!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: This sections is for suggestions from myself and your fellow troopers that go toward the overall improvement of the look of your armor. These suggestions do not affect your applications. First off, very nice, clean work on your build. IT is getting harder to tell if the trooper had the armor built or they built it themselves. Anyway, great paintwork on your helmet!! I like that you decided to paint your TD screws. Ron had brought up a couple points that I want to touch on. First, I agree that your holster placement is a tad far back on your belt. However at this point, any adjustment would leave unavoidable holes in your belt and it would need to be replaced. Something I am not interested in making you do. As for the small elastic on your shoulders these were installed to help keep the shoulder bridges in place. Moving them back a bit would help your armor do this. I would move them back for Centurion pics if you decide to apply. Most all your leg and arm parts look like they were custon fit to you except your biceps. Although not TOO distracting, I think it would look so much better if they were brought down just a little to better fit your arms. Aside from a couple things that apply to the next section, all looks great! Centurion Suggestions: If built right, RS is pretty much a shoe in for Centurion. Your set is so close but does need a couple small details thatI'd like you to follow up on before applying. First thing is I'd like to see your ab buttons a little bigger. They should measure right around the 11 MM mark or come close to covering the raised areas without going over. Careful with that bottom button as it can get too big. While we are on paint, please dab all your bracket screws with white paint. Next will take a little work. Jen had brought up some suggested adjustments on your ab/kidney fit. This needs a lot of adjustments. The way you have it presented in this application just looks like it is begging to be fixed. With your slim build, the overlap at the sides is just way too much. Plus, the hardware placements need to be close to 10MM in from the edge and there is no reason why that can't happen with your armor. I know you were just following the marks provided by RS. Here is what I see needs to be trimmed on your right side:This is a screen used set and you can see where the seam is trimmed on the ab here:Once properly trimmed, you will notice an instant improvement in both the fit and the appearance of the armor. Please make sure the ab and kidney tops are close to aligned for your Centurion pictures. Are there any adjustments to your shins that you can do to keep them from riding up? These need to be down to your boots not sitting on top of them. And lastly, you will need to obtain and install a charging handle on your blaster. Let me know if you have any questions. Congratulations again!!!

Glen for the win!!!

Mr. Steve!! Thank you so much for your Centurion application!! Let's take a look at your armor! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required Centurion submission photos have been posted. Your armor has all necessary details to qualify for Centurion. With that, I would like to congratulate you for your Centurion achievement! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: This section here is for general comments and possible future improvements. Nothing here will affect your application. This application is a PERFECT example of how little adjustments go a long way to improving the overall final product. Your efforts are truly appreciated! Correct helmet decals, thinner drop boxes(nice job!!!! ) Proper waist belt placement under the button plates, flat top and properly positioned thermal detonator clips, accurate TD clip screws and not to take away from your masterful ABS paste work on your side shims!! Well done all around. The only "comment" I would have is your choice to square off the relief areas at the bottom/back of your thighs. I would rather see that taper a little softer to more match the tops of your calves:Nothing that can really be done about this now but I did want to mention it. Great job again and congratulations, Sir!!!
