I want to thank Eric for his years of dedication and hard work in all the positions he held within FISD. You will always be a valued member and hopefully can find the time to pay us a visit every now and then. Congratulations on your work life promotion which I believe is very well deserved and I wish you all the best. Thank you for your service.

Hi Dan welcome back for another EI review, this time of the ESB variety. Thank you for your application. Let's take a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. Beautiful job on your build. We don't see as many ESB apps as we would like applying for the higher levels .Your armor displays all necessary elements as set out in the level 2 CRL. Tony and I welcome you to EI trooper, congratulations. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. We have nothing to add here. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you the best we can for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. At this stage, nothing stands out but things can be revealed with the extra images required for Centurion. Get that application in Dan, wonderful work, now head on out and continue to do the Legion proud

Hi Tom, welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application, lets get you approve shall we. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion so congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Thank you for making the requested repairs, you have one very nice set of armour sir. Nothing more to add. Thanks again and welcome to the Centurion ranks

Awesome, thanks Tom, will be back shortly

Congratulations Trooper.

Well that is a promising turn of events, lets hope he can make it so. Kevin does struggle with some demons as well, so support is exactly what he needs right now. It can come in a simple post on his FB to say Hi and and glad to see you are working on a solution, we are right behind you, something positive at a minimum.

Sad and unfortunate for all involved. I hope some how, some way, Kevin can get everything back on track.

Hi Tom We have a request of you please. We are debating the head type on the screws uesd on your Thermal Detonator. The CRL now states from level 2 that they be of the Pan head variety, but yours look to be the dome head type. This was a very recent change to the CRL and may have happened after your EI approval, but it means they are mandatory now through level 3 where as before they were only a suggestion we would make for accuracy. Level two certification (if applicable): Clips shall be attached with slotted, pan head style screws, and be black (two per clip). As you can see in the below reference image, the Pan screws are flat across the top with only a rounded edge. If you indeed have used Pan head, could you please take a close up side on view image of one of them. Many thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.

Impressive, most impressive be with you as soon as possible Dan.

Hey Tom, nice work. Its been a busy Star Wars weekend so we will be with you soon.

Hi Jim The guys above have all made valid points, SDS has been passed before but you need to add the requirements like charging handle D ring etc. IMHO there are better options for your hard earned dollars, and the UK is rich in available sources. A little bit of research and asking questions as you have, goes a long way in our hobby

Hey Andy, thank you for your EI application, lets see what we have here. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Great work on your armor Andy, it's obvious you have taken great pride in your build and it shows. That said, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. If there were any suggested corrections they would be made here. We only have one suggestion, and that is to trim down some of the excess material on the small AB button plate.The plate itself should reside within the boundaries of the mounting area as per the below reference image. Reference Image Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. And again, only one item to mention and really a very easy adjustment Level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box Reference image Mate, what a lovely job you have done with this kit, we are delighted to say we have nothing more to add. Congratulations on a well deserved Expert Infantry badge

Ooohh very nice, Good on you Andy, I am working on your application shortly.

Good to see you guys are all over it , nice build Andy, fix those screws and we will be with you shortly.

Welcome back Alessio, Thank you for your Centurion application, lets get you approved. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the required components as set out in the level 3 CRL. Tony and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Centurion, Excellent work!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Thank you for making the adjustment as set out in your EIB review , we have no more to add. Head on out Centurion

Hi Justin, welcome to Centurion review, and thank you for your application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion so congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Thank you for making the requested repairs, you have done a great job. We still think the fore arms can be dropped a little more to even out the large black area at the wrist end, and I would also like to recommend you change the Velcro strapping specifically between your kidney and Butt plate so the butt doesn't pop out as much . Nothing more to add. Thanks again and welcome to the Centurion ranks

Hi Mark, welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application, lets get you approved. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion so congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Thank you for changing those Mic tips back to the original style, we will always recommend making changes like those for after approvals. Wonderful job on your armour. Nothing more to add. Thanks again and welcome to the Centurion ranks

Hi Mark Thanks for the corrections brother, we will be back with you shortly.

Hey Tom, appreciate your patience and thank you for your EI application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted, and your armour meets all requirements as set out in the Level 2 CRL. Congratulations! on a beautiful build Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Only minor tweaks to mention like your ammo belt could sit a little higher. These are pure accuracy niggles that wont effect any future application, but we do like to see our troopers look as consistent as possible. Reference Image Another very minor detail could be to trim the small Ab button plate down the long edges so it sit within the molded mounting area. Reference Image Centurion Suggestions: 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 time you appear to be to have most things in order for Centurion. The main item will be closing up those side gaps between Ab and Kidney plates. As per level 3 CRL Level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. That's it Tom, you are officially Expert Infantry, hope to see your Centurion application soon

Hey Andrew, thank you for your EI application, lets take a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Great work on your armor Sebastian, it's obvious you have taken great pride in your build and it shows. That said, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. If there were any suggested corrections they would be made here. We only have one suggestion, and that is to rotate your shoulder bells forward and closing down the gap between them and your chest plate. There is a slight gap also at the top of the bells and the shoulder bridges, that could be as simple as shortening up the two top straps. This will also help close that gap at the front. Reference image Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. We are delighted to say, we have nothing to add here. Congratulations on a well deserved Expert Infantry badge

Hey Andrew, sweat build my friend. I will be working on your review later today back soon.

Hi Daniel welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present and your armour meets all elements as set out in the lvl 3 CRL, with out further delay, Tony and I would like to congratulations and welcome to Centurion Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Centurion is the ultimate level of accuracy and appearance. In this section we mention any finer points you may be able to achieve to make your armour as accurate and clean as possible. I would just like to mention the small gap on the rivet side of your armor. It appears you have a slight overlap on the opposite side that if you adjusted (shortened) the elastic connectors behind the rivets, you could close that side and alleviate the overlap on the other. We also think this opening may have only been caused from raising your arms and creating the separation. And one last thing. Shim work and ABS paste is never easy, and you have done a good job, but we think either adding a little more ABS paste to the small depressions and sanding back again to clean them up will give you a more even finish. Congratulations once again sir, head on out as a proud Centurion

Hey Brian welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present. Thank you for making the suggested update during your EIB application. Beautiful job on your build . Tony and I are pleased to announce your armor displays all the elements as set out in the Lvl 3 CRL. Congratulations and welcome to Centurion Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: I have one small recommendation to help prevent any possible damage to your undersuit and your self. You could trim the areas circled in the below image and sand the edges smooth as they look like they could catch. Overall you have one tidy build and should be very proud. Time to head out and continue to make the Empire and your garrison proud

Perfect mate, thank you, with you in a moment.

Looking sharp Brian, I will be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
