Now you are going down a rabbit hole that will just piss more and more people off I advise caution.

Now this is an interesting one, yes the Bells on screen have the swoops facing forward, but where it will confuse some is the fact not all the kits available actually have the swoops. It would come under the "If present" statement. The other issue is some kits have duplicate parts so it would be impossible to show both swoops facing forward if left and right Bells were the same. The same could also be said for the dimple count on each forearm as on screen one has 11 the other 12, but again, we have makers that have duplicate sides AP for example, this however is already brought up while reviewing as it is easy to tell if forearms are on back to front. So you see there are many things that aren't written specifically in the CRL's but it is our DO's job to guide applicants on the right path and help them look the best they can.

So we have the same conversation running across two threads, thought I was going crazy when i couldn't find my posts

Rat, you would still be approved , Grandfathered only means if you were to retire, then later re apply, you would need to make the appropriate mods to the current CRL to pass.

Great job sir.

Some good points have been made in the last couple of posts. We are not the RPF, we should not be making too many constant changes that start to discourage members from aiming higher. Prop replication is not what the Legion or FISD strives for, although we are reasonably close to the mark. Continuity is the best tool we have for the little things that are easy enough to be done. Size is a great example and cant be discriminated against, so please always bare in mind any changes you make should always be in the spirit of EIB and Centurion. (the different brow heights is good, the ear angles can be far more difficult to fix if not impossible in some cases so be wise with your suggestions. We cant judge a member on the armour they purchased we can only guide and help them build it the best they can, please dont forget this. Paul's suggestion of looking at CRL adjustments quarterly is far more feasible for better stability and uniformity plus easier on GML's etc, remember what I said about the RPF. AND... hopefully we hit the March to 1000 EIB early enough in the year to celebrate with some special merch.

I have very low brow on my stunt lol

Then you will need to make this a correction at basic approval so the GMLs are all aware it will be a lot easier on you guys and it is a fairly basic request/requirement. Don't forget to make sure any images of the helmet on the CRL reflect the kind of gap you are looking for which may require new photos of the model and the helmet as the GMLs are told to use those images as a guide.

Just remeber EIB is meant to be an easy step towards accuracy. Not all troopers are captured by FISD who apply for basic, plus in some cases dependent on how they trimmed and assembled their helmet, it may not be possible to realign the sides and give the kind of gap you are looking for. You certainly cant put a measurement in or GML's will have a field day knocking back basic application because a member is 2mm out. So what would be the outcome if a member was not able to get the gap due to trim and mount etc? Would the expectation be, replace your helmet. Also to consider, some Makers send their helmets pre-assembled, I can just see Paul TM losing his cookies over a gap too big small or no gap at all. Just my 2 cents

We got your back Jim

Excellent

That was amazing, congratulations to all those involved, I loved it.

Awesome news, make sure you post a build thread Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of mine is glued together yes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually use Velcro in one of them and keep either challenge coin and or credit card, money etc.

And secondly, this is the very first application ShaSha has done as she was only recently appointed to a DO position, cut her some slack please, she is learning the ropes.

Congratulations Rodney, welcome to the rank

Yes,yes, photos or it never happened

Wow this has come a long way, great work Katye

The sales thread for our new First Order Detachment shirt variant will go live shortly Please stand by

Hmm, I should look into this wireless set up myself, getting tired of the wires running from helmet to my chest plate. Nice install to Bud

It gives me great pleasure to announce the promotion of ShaSha from the attache ranks to the position of Deputy Deployment Officer. Shasha brings with her experience in assisting our vertically challenged troopers in armour modification and assembly plus a keen eye for attention to detail. Congratulations Shasha, we have every confidence you will do a fantastic job.

Congratulations Eric, next stop, Centurion. Well done sir

Congratulations and welcome to EI rank
