My 2 cents worth I am of the opinion, they can do what they like with their armour after they are approved at EI or Centurion what ever level they want to aim for. This is unless we create a CRL specifically for a dirty FO TK as I am not into doing all the work simply to hand something off to the MEPD. If they havnt thought about it and are not working on it, then it should be ours.

Excellent mate, I have almost finished your review, I have made mention on the sniper plate, so will leave it in as i think you can still rotate that shin outwards a bit more. Back with full review shortly.

Welcome to your Centurion review Greg and thank you for your application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present and your armour displays all the elements as set out in the Centurion CRL. Congratulations and welcome to Centurion!! Thank you for making the suggested update to the Thermal det screws and a beautiful job on your build Greg. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Nothing more to add other than, excellent work

Excellent, thanks Eric

Hi Mark, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's take a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted., your armour displays all necessary element as set out in the level 2 CRL, 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. Very sharp indeed Mark, great build and it fits you so well. Hard to find much wrong here at all, so only some tiny little tweaks to speak of. The shoulder bells could still come in at the tops sp they are virtually if not touching the plastic shoulder bridge. one sits a touch closer than the other, so some small top strap adjustment will sort that out. reference The only other item is a nice to have for accuracy thing The screw used on a Thermal Det were slotted pan head as opposed to the dome head type. reference 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. We can only again see one very slight adjustment to be made, this one is required to meet the level 3 CRL Your drop boxes out of alignment with the emds of the plastic ammo portion of the 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. We find ourselves at the end of a great application, a wonderful and tidy build, and another successful Expert Infantry applicant. Congratulations Mark, Tony and i hope to see you in Centurion review soon.

Hi Eric Apologies for the delay, but while you are waiting can we please ask you to atend to something minor, that doesnt meet the level 2 criteria please. As per the CRL For level two certification (if applicable): Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. We can see on one side you have no gap, which is perfect, but on the rivet side the gap looks to be over the 12.5mm allowance. This should be easily fixed as you can have the small gap either side as long as they are within the parameter. Obviously fro Centurion there will need to be no gap either side. Please adjust and post up a new image for the left and right sides.

Sorry for the delay Alessio, we are getting closer my friend, wont be much longer.

Some great work there Mark, we wont be too much longer.

G'day Matthew, thanks for your Centurion applications, lets get this done!! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present, and your armour meets all the CRL elements needed to achieve level 3, so without further delay, Tony and I congratulate and welcome you to Centurion rank. What a sweet set of armour mate, fits you very well, you should be proud as i know the boys and girls of Southern Cross garrison will be marching along side of you Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Head on out and show off that armour Matthew

Hey Justin, thank you for your EIB application and your patience. Let's get cracking. 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 have some suggestions to get you looking the best you can. Most are dressing issues but there are a few mods we like to see done on the Anovos helmets if you are intending on applying for Centurion. The shoulder Bells should basically touch the plastic shoulder bridge, so shortening those top black connecting straps will bring them in. Next is only a dressing issue, but make sure your fore arms sit evenly spaced from the biceps and the wrist end to the hand plates. It also appears yours are twisted inwards slightly. Align the front cover strips from bicep to fore arm and you are good. Reference Image If you can adjust the Velcro strapping between the back and kidney plate so they sit right on top of each other, it will look perfect. May we suggest replacing the Anovos supplied Velcro system with elastic and snaps as it generally is better for movement and also can last much loner. You will find loads of examples in the internal strapping photos of other EI applications. Also keep an eye on the alignment of your calf enclosure to keep them level. Reference Image Ok now to the helmet mods we will want to see in your Centurion application. The frown really stands out on the Anovos bucket as it finishes too short and very square on the ends. This needs to continue to taper out to a point, and the paint shouldn't go onto the gum line. We see you have replaced the hovi tips in the extra images you added in the application, so thank you, I don't need to talk about those although they are circled., and lastly, if you can sharpen up the edges of the Vocoder so it is more defined on each ridge, its also going to look much better. Reference Images 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. You are already aware of the extra rivets required for the Abb plate and they are a must as per the level 3 CRL as is the male snap for the upper corner on the opposite side. For level three certification (if applicable) Three rivets, approximately 5/16"(8mm) diameter, are present on the left side of the abdomen armor. Note: The original rivets used for the TK armor were bifurcated rivets or split rivets. Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. The heads are rounded or domed. Note: Paperclip brads are not considered to have a domed head. Rivets are painted white. A single male snap on the top right corner of the ab plate is present. Well here we are at the end of your EI approval, well done sir on a successful application. Make your adjustments and modifications and we hope to see you in Centurion review soon Congratulations

All the photos are there now, not sure what changed but i will get back to it shortly

The ultimate accuracy is up to you, they are not a requirement, just a nice to have. Well done mate beautiful work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are place holder where the images should be but they are not visible Helmet front Lens colour and a few others that I'm not sure what they are

Hi Greg, welcome and thank you for applying for EIB. Let's have a look your armor. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. Without further delay, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Ukswrath and myself would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry. Congratulations trooper . 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 suggestions may affect the application process, it will be listed separately in either the above EIB or below Centurion requirement sections. What a fantastic job you have done with this kit, so clean and aligned, wow we love it. If there was anything to suggest it is only the small gap opening between your back and kidney plate. Perhaps a thicker piece of elastic or slightly shortening the strap you have in the center should fix that. Also the screw types on the Thermal Det. These are a Pan head slotted type as opposed to the dome head we see below Reference Image Centurion Suggestions or Requirements: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. As Centurion requires more of the finer detail photos, unless something stands out in those, there shouldn't be anything standing in your way to achieve level 3 Congratulations on a very well deserved Expert Infantry award, and we look forward to seeing a Centurion application from you in the very near future.

The gap between the top of your shoulder bells and the plastic shoulder bridges. These should be virtually touching, it will also help them sit closer to the chest plate. It also looks like some of your photos are missing, plus could you please add a photo of the end of your blaster showing the D ring. Thanks Justin

Ear holes will not be an issue at all, I have them in mine and Tony and I are only interested in CRL requirements and getting you looking the absolute best you can for Centurion. Cracks as you well know are a fact of life for a trooper, so as long as you are repairing them so they wont get worse , all is good. ABS paste and some sanding and polishing will conceal them and would always be a recommendation we would make but it wont affect an approval.

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
