  4. TK17356 Requesting ANH Stunt Centurion Status [TM][126]

    in Request Centurion Status

    Posted

    Hi Lee, it is nice to see you here with a Centurion application, if you need any further help with it then please ask.

     

    Lee's back plate overlap was setup to align with the top of his kidney plate, this can be seen on the Left hand side, but it appears to have dropped a touch on the right hand side.

    Lee is also planning to install frown mesh in his new TM lid, but troops with a black balaclava to obscure his face.

     

    I also have to admit to forgetting to take a lids off pic for him for his submission pics, however as Lee is out trooping now so regularly it won't be long to add the required missing pics.

     

    Good luck Lee, nice build :)

    Welcome to the FISD,

    We also look forward to meeting you on the UK Garrison boards so you can troop with us.

    Ps. The Return of the Jedi Stormtrooper version was even less symmetrical than the other film versions.

     

    Have a look at the TM

    Stormtrooper suits if you want a combination of shiny and bump free, you can check out detail pics of the various suits in the Centurion and Expert infantry sections of this site.

    Looking good there trooper.

    Out of 3 consecutive and current EIB applications your the only one that has nailed your AB buttons colours and painting correctly.

    I just thought I'd mention that.

     

    Your kidney and ab side gaps are not symmetrical.

    You have more than the allowed EIB side gap on one side and virtually none on the other side.

    Therefore overall your side gaps would be perfect with a little strapping adjustment there.

     

    Good luck trooper.

    Good morning..This is London calling

    Hi Fergalus,

    Indeed there is a armour tailoring service done by way of attending the UK Garrison armour parties.

    These are usually held in North London.

    Drop into the ukgarrison.co.uk website, make your self known, pop up some pictures and there are plenty of people that can help you.

    There is also plenty of advise and tutorials on here should you wish to have a go yourself.

    I don't think it was out of turn to mention the poor fit of the AB and Kidney plates.

     

    This has been cleared before meeting EIB CRL criteria, especially on the right hand side (see below)

     

    Abdomen Plate

    For 501st approval:

     

    For level two certification (EIB):

    Any gap between the ab and kidney plate shall be no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. Any shims used to achieve this effect should be of a similar material and color as the ab and kidney plate. Shims shall fit flush and seams are allowed.

     

    It may be all well to bring in a new clearance procedure, and to give praise before passing negative comments, but what is the point of having a CRL and following one if clearance is not compared to it?

     

    Strapping is indeed an easy fix and therefore I believe that it should have been corrected before passing this one.

     

    To clear unfinished work is frankly an insult to previous EIB applicants who have to put the required effort in.

     

    We don't want the FISD standards to slip, slide and change every time the DO changes.
