Sly11

Hi Daniel welcome to your EI review and thank you for your application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Welcome 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. Very nice build, excellent work Dan,good attention to detail and great looking E11 as well. We only have a few small items to mention so here they are. The first is simply a dressing issue, just get the gap between the bottom of your bicep and top of the fore arm even on both arms. The second is a very quick trim job on the cover strips on the back of your thighs. These look like they could cause you injury potentially damage your under suit. I would sand those pointy corners off as a preventative measure. This last one is just an accuracy thing, a nice to have but not a necessity. You have slotted screw and yes they are painted black, but the screen used screws are the pan head variety, not the dome.Like we said, not a necessity but another step closer to screen accurate. The reference image shows what a pan head screw looks. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern this is where they are discussed. You have provided a pretty comprehensive set of images so this makes it easier to see if anything we cant normally see might stand out, and we are happy to report everything is looking good for an easy Centurion application. Congrats once again and hope to see you in Centurion review soon.

Hi Dan, very nice application, we shall be with you soon.

Hi Rob Can you please add an image of the back of your belt showing the holster and drop box attachments etc. The usual is to lay the belt out on the floor and take the photo. We are also going to give you the opportunity to fix an element wich is required for lvl 2. It apears there is quite a gap between the end caps and the brackets on your thermal Det. The cRL mentions. For level two certification (if applicable): Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps. reference image If you can also give the end of those bracket a slight roll over so they dont stick out too far. Any questions we are here to help

Yes the links do work, just easier to look at a thread and see the actual images, rather than clicking on each individual link. You may find you get more feedback and more detailed responses if the photos are immediately visible.

Hi Sam You are choosing the wrong link to share the images directly onto the forum page., from IMGUR. Its the second from the bottom of the link list on the right hand side of the image you select. Its titled BBCode (message boards and forums) Hope that hepls.

Thanks for your patience Jim, we will be with you soon.

Welcome Andreas and thank you for your EIB application and your patience. Let's get to it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted, except for your action shot, please add in as soon as possible. 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. I would like to mention that try as I did to modify and crop your images like we do in other applications, the type of photo sevrer you used would not allow me to do so. Hopefully any reference images I have posted do help show what may need to be changed and or upgraded for any future application. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion as best we can. There are a few upgrades over EIB and we will always push applicants to hit those marks, unlike the aim of a Stormtrooper lol. You have a couple of small additions to make to meet the Level 3 requirement but based on the quality of your build, these will be easy for you to achieve. First will be the addition of the Shoulder Bell brace. This will bring the bells level across the shoulder and make you look broader and even more intimidating. For level three certification (if applicable): Shoulder bell brace, a tab of plastic that extends from the top of the arc along the shoulder of the back/yoke, shall be present. Reference images The other items are really upgrades, like the neck seal with 11 ribs, and the rubber gaskets. If the CRL mentions a particular item is needed at level 3 then please add a photo of that. An example would be the 11 ribbed neck seal or the inside of a bicep showing the overlap join etc. Well you did it, Congratulations once again and head on out Expert infantryman

There is one last photo we just realized was missing. Your action shot. This is needed for the Legion data base, so please post it up as soon as you can. Stand by for your review.

Great work as always Germain.

Welcome John. Well this is an exciting prospect for a lucky member, hope we have someone ready to take the plunge and dirty up their shiny white.

Looking awesome Daniel I know we dont have a photo check list yet, but can you add some photos of your Blaster please. Just the usual like the OT TK, left right front and rear view. We will be back with you as soon as possible.

Photos are looking awesome, but where is your blaster TK24269 ? Please post up left right front and rear view photos of your F11D I want to get you to EI so please add them, the rest of your photos cover what we need for level 2 We will get a photo check list done for these eventually.

Hi Stephen, thanks for your application, we are slowly catching up so will be with you as soon as possible.

Looking fantastic mate, will be with you as soon as possible.

Staying out of this one lol

Congratulations Glen, well deserved mate and a fellow Australian, it just doesn't get any better.

Nice build thread Frank, looking forward to seeing more images of your progression and then your application for EIB Carry on.

Eliminating any chance of ambiguity is a good thing, and one i would endorse.

I think we should stick with painted. Easy for anyone to paint, not as easy to get anodized screws of the correct type. The addition of the above mentioned, will be a much welcomed change as it eliminates ambiguity. The Thermal Det screws are something that we bring up quite regularly in the review process for a nice to have accuracy mod, and everyone makes the change so lets set it in stone. Anovos listened to us and made the ear screw change, so we should specify the type easy enough n the CRL's.

Working on this with Tony, and will be with you shortly.

With you shortly Glen, Tony and I are working on this one together.

Hi Andreas With images that small it does make it difficult for anyone to have a good look at your beautiful armour. Could you please try and use Imgur, and re upload so the images in this thread are large and easy to identify what we need to see. Imgur is easy to use once you have a play around with it and there are plenty on here that use it and can assist you. Thank you

All good boss, get them cookies outa the oven

Hey Nicholas, thank you for your patience and EIB application. Lets check it out. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. and your armour meets all the necessary elements as per the level 2 CRL . Tony and myself would like to both congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry Rank. 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 just a few small items to cover with the Anovos helmet There are a number of things that can do with some tweaking, the frown paint work, incorrect ear screws and mesh in the Hovi tips as well as the Vocoder paint work, I have placed reference images of each of these below. Of coarse none of these are your fault as the helmets come pre built, but i must say the rest of your armour build is exceptional, so it would be a shame not to take the extra steps to get the helmet right. Stunt frown paint should extend to the edge of the last tooth. Yours will need to be longer. Know this may be a shadow from the camera angle but the paint should not leave the teeth area as in the CRL Helmet For 501st approval: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Reference image Hovi mesh Hovi screen mesh is too fine. The mesh Anovos uses is incorrect, it should be a bit more coarse. Some folks are using tightly woven flower sifter screens, but your best bet is to contact Hovi sellers here or elsewhere for replacement screens. Vcoder edge lines are too soft. The screen used helmets have very definitive Vcoder paint lines. We're suggesting applicants touch up the area as needed. The Anovos provided ear mounting screws are incorrect. Again, no fault of yours however, the screw type should be "V" head not the provided "Pan" head. If you haven't changed out the original ear screws we're recommending you do so. Don't discard these however, as they can be used to replace the Thermal Detonator screws. Reference image Belt positioning: If you can bring your ammo belt center up so its covering the bottom of your main button plate it will look just like many of they do in the movie. This should be a quick and easy adjustment for you. Reference image And lastly, Joseph mentioned in your app thread trimming off a few sharp edges on the top of your thighs. We will always recommend removing anything that looks like it could either do damage to yourself or your under suit so maybe a touch of sanding on those and any other sharp corners/edges that you find will save you in the future. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern this is where we discuss them. Thank you for adding some extra images it does make it a little easier to see details ahead of a Centurion application. If you make the above mentioned corrections this should be an excellent example of how good this kit can look. Congratulation and see you in Centurion soon

I for one won’t be using a ruler lol. i agree on the overlap construction, from the mass of screenshots available, it’s a clear cut case that the new kits were made in that method. What that would do unless the language suggested otherwise, is mean no preconstructed ANH armour could be approvable. Makes it a little more confusing I guess, unless the CRL was to state, overlap or but join is acceptable. personally I like that bus close to scream accurate so it would be overlap construction a major st for level2.
