Looking sharp Greg, we will be with you as soon as possible.

Hi Bryan, thank you for your patience and EIB application. Lets get stuck in. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos are present and your armour meets all criteria as set out in the level 2 CRL With that said, congratulations on a beautiful set of armour. Tony and myself would like to both congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry Rank. Only 2 very small items that could do with minor correction. The frown is very tidy, but you could paint it closer to the gum line leaving less of the teeth unpainted. Your frown looks more like the Hero style rather than the typical Stunt version. Dressing issue only but a tweak and your TD will be sitting center and perfectly. 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. This is also where we try and get you in the best possible position for a successful Centurion application and I am glad to say, you are definitely on target. Nothing to add here Congratulations again Brian and we shall see you in Centurion review soon

Congratulations Paul

Dominic, way to go, this is what FISD is all about, troopers helping troopers to achieve their goals and dreams. Looking forward to seeing the updated photos and to getting you approved. Great work my friend.

Hey Alfonso, we wont be too much longer, so thank you for your patience. The guys are giving you some great help and photos to help you out. One more observation, the charging lever is also missing from your blaster, you might want to source one and add it

Congrats troopers, only 200 more and we hit the 1000. Keep those EI applications coming.

Hi Dominic, we noticed the rivet in your cod is painted white. As the armour used in ANH is the same used in ESB we believe these should not be painted. Can you please remove the white paint and submit a new photo of it when done please Very nice looking armour sir.

Welcome back Dennis 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 to the knee pack position during your EIB application. Beautiful job on your build my friend. Tony and I are pleased to announce your armor displays all the elements as set out in the Centurion CRL. Congratulations and welcome to Centurion Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Nothing more to add other than, excellent work

G'day Alban thank you for your EIB application and your patience as we catch up, so let's have a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted, and your armour meets all the necessary requirements for level 2. With that Tony and myself would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry, 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 can see your a stocky guy and you have done a great job to get this armour to fit. We do have some minor things that are simply dressing issues, so some adjustments, a mirror and an assistant will get you looking in the best shape you can. In the below image I have highlighted the areas and will give some explanations as how things should sit and look. I will add the reference images below your images. Shoulder Bells: the tops of these should virtually, if not touch the plastic shoulder bridges. Perhaps shortening the top connecting straps will bring them in. It will also reduce the gap between the front of the bells and the chest plate Fore arm position: The forearm outer cover strip, needs to line up with the bicep center cover strip , this will bring the scalloped out section to the inner bend of the elbow or facing your fore arm. In turn the dimples on the back of the forearms will now face out instead of to the back of the arms. Thigh position: your thighs are sitting to low as mentioned by one of your fellow troopers. these can come up an inch or so and will stop the bottoms from sitting directly on top of your shins. Should also give you a bit more flexibility to bend the knee Shin rotation: one last adjustment from the front, would be to rotate the sniper shin outwards so the cover strips line up with the thigh cover strip. That shin is also sitting higher and should come down to the same level as the other. Shoulder bell reference image Fore arm position reference As we move around to the back there are a 3 things that can easily be remedied so lets look at those. Gap between Back and Kidney plate: When looking at your internal strapping, i think we can see why you are getting the separation. Replacing those 2 narrow elastic straps with some wider elastic and also moving those outwards a little will give you the added strength and less stretch hopefully stopping the gap occurring. If you can get them sitting on top of each other, that would be perfect. Butt plate popping out: Moving the outer 2 elastic straps closer to the ends and again, using wider elastic will also reduce the amount it will pop out at the end. Rear cover strip sizing: The shin cover strips should be virtually the same width as the rear thigh cover strips. Not sure why you needed to make both of them so wide as the thighs look to fit well, but the shin strips do look way too big. Ear screws: The top two screws look to be correct, the bottom screw is a dome head rather than the above flt blade tapered head. this one will need to be replaced. Thermal Detonator screws: This is one of those nice to have things that we like to see for a Centurion application. The correct type of screws to use are flat blade pan head variety, and they should be painted black for that ultimate look. Reference Image. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos are requested that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Great work on those side shims Alban, all you need to do to get them Centurion level is to only have one seam on each side. Filling that second seam with ABS paste is the way to go about it. There are a few examples and threads here on the forums. As stated in the CRL for level 3 For level three certification: A single visible seam line is present. Drop Box alignment: It looks as though your drop boxes may slide around a little from some of your images. These need to sit inline with the very ends on the plastic ammo belt For level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. A small dab of glue or even adhesive Velcro will keep these from moving inwards, so they always sit in the perfect spot. Reference image That is it my friend, Congratulation on your EI award, make your adjustments and modification, follow the Centurion photo check list and we hope to see an Centurion application from you in the future great job trooper

Hey Glen, welcome back yet again and thank you for your TLJ Centurion application,. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present and your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion so congratulations on another successful application Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Excellent job as usual, we have nothing more to add.

Hey guys, just wondering if , and i am sure this is in here somewhere, did anyone identify the black grip material on the folding stock handle of the F 11-D blaster? I assume it would be some form of rubber, that's of coarse if it isn't just a printed or molded format

Hey Daneil, 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 the requirements as set out in the lvl 3 CRL so thank you and congratulations on another successful achievement Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Nothing more to add so head out and continue to make the Empire and your garrison proud

More photos are requested that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. The only issue we had was the knee pack rivet location on the thigh, but you have fixed that already, nice work. We have nothing more to add except hope to see you in Centurion soon Congratulations and head on out

We got you brother, and wont forget you, we are getting close Thank you for your patience.

Hi Dennis Just looking through your photos, and we have come across something which will need to be fixed if you are looking at a future Centurion application. The knee ammo belt is not secured in the correct positions on one side. We just thought it worth pointing out incase you wanted a head start on fixing it up. The rivet should be into the ridge and not above it. reference image

hi Dennis, finally catching up on applications brother, will be with you soon Thank you for your patience.

Hey Sean, you know what time it is!!, thank you for your Centurion application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present. Thank you for adjusting those drop boxes, they are sitting pretty now. Tony and i are pleased to say your armor displays all the elements as set out in the Centurion CRL. Congratulate and welcome to Centurion rank!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: The only things we have to mention here are simple dressing issues. Watch the non rivet side gap between your Ab and kidney, plus the gap between your shoulder bell tops and shoulder bridge. The photos in your EI applications showed smaller gaps on both so we know they do sit correctly on you. Shoulder Bell Side gap Great job on your build. Time to head on out and make your garrison proud. as their newest Centurion
