Will be with you shortly Stephen, great work on the armour .

Thank you for the update Will. I am very proud of you mate. You have taken the hard road to get this armour to fit you better and are to be commended for it. Look forward to seeing an update photos after your troop

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. Wow, this is a tight build, excellent work Brian, love the attention to detail from top to bottom. If you can rotate the shoulder bells forward just a touch to narrow the gaps between the chest plate this armour will be balanced to the max. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We mast say thank you for a beautiful set of photos. The sharpness makes our jobs easy as we can see every fine detail. Also thank you for the additional images. GET THAT CENTURION APP IN!!!!!!!!! Congratulations

Hi Francisco 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. Really great build Francisco, so there isn't much to see out of place. One thing might be to just tighten the elastic straps between you back and kidney plates to bring them together. reference image Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We do have a couple areas that will need to be address before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so. These items pertain to your helmet details. For level three certification (if applicable): Ear bars shall have only one bump painted in black (rank stripes). Tears/traps shall be hand painted or use decals that emulate hand painted (with correct ANH TK details). The first is an easy fix, simply paint a rank stripe on each ear. Secondly, the helmet must be either hand painted or you need to use the hand painted style/look decals. I believe the Dave M type available from trooper bay are very commonly used Reference image What a set of hand painted style decals look like Excellent work Francisco, make sure you use the photo reference guide and Centurion check lists when looking to submit your next application http://www.whitearmo...hoto-checklist/ http://www.whitearmo...sual-checklist/ Congrats and see you in the Centurion applications soon we hope.

Thank you, will be with you shortly

Hi Justin, thank you for your Centurion application lets get you approved. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the elements as set out in the level 3 CRL. Ukswrath and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you to the Centurion rank. Awesome job Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Thank you for taking the suggestions on board and turning an already fine set of amour into an even better one Congrats and report to duty centurion

Congratulations Michael.

Hi Francisco, thank you for your patience. It seems you are missing a few photos from your application. While you are waiting, could you please add the following Helmet, close up: Front, Left, Right and Back. Blaster, need a full length photo of the magazine side. Thermal Det, showing the clips and mounting screw side Thank you

Hey Dave welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted.Thank your for making the repairs suggested at EIB, very nice work Your armor now contains all necessary elements to qualify you for Centurion. Tony and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to the rank Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Well for such a tall dude, you pulled it off extremely well and you look fantastic. The only suggestion we have would be to glue the drop box straps in place. We can see that you have them aligned with the ends of the belt, but in some of the photos they seem to move around a bit, and you will need to keep them in place. Congratulations Centurion :salute:

Welcome Hubert, thank you for your EI application lets see what we have. 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. Wow, you certainly have put in the work here my friend, it is obvious you are shooting for Centurion as you have covered the finer details of accuracy very nicely. The only suggestions we have would be to shorten up the top straps on those shoulder bells and get them as close as you can, if not touching the plastic shoulder bridges. Reference image Also it seems your belt moves up and down quite a bit across your photos. May we suggest some Velcro or another snap closer to the center, and make sure the middle of the belt is right up on or even sitting over the bottom of the large Ab button plate, as it is in the below reference photo. Screen reference Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We do have a couple areas that will need to be address before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so. You have made our job easy thank you. Use the photo check list and go through the level 3 CRL to make sure you have everything and get that Centurion application in. Congratulations once again trooper

Hey Michael welcome to your EI review, lets get into it!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for level 2. Welcome to Expert Infantry 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 suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. Great job on the armour Mike, your looking awesome. We have a few fitment and adjustment suggestions for you, some to get you looking your best, and some that will need to be fixed to get you on the way to Centurion. Below we have highlighted your Ab button plates. These can be trimmed a little smaller, however we aren't sure what type of glue you have used to secure them and they may not be easy to remove, hence why this falls under a suggestion, and a nudge closer to screen accuracy. reference images As you can see from this screen used suit, the plates sit within the rased section they are glued to. The only other two suggestions in this section are to watch the side gaps. You will want to have those closed up in a Centurion application, and secondly, you could probably drop your thighs just a touch to even the gap between their bottoms and the top of the shin armour. 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. Overall, this is a very clean build Mike, well done. The only standout correction would be the drop box alignment to meet the CRL 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. reference image One last thing, remember to trim all the return edge out of the wrist end of your forearms. Although not easy to see, it does look like there is still some material left in the ridge section of yours. For level three certification (if applicable): No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. All done Michael, thank you for your patience trooper, Congratulations and head on out.

With you shortly Dave, thank you for your patience.

Thanks for the updates Hubert, we will be with you soon.

Thanks mate, with you soon.

Hey Joachim, thank you for your EI application, lets go!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Welcome and congratulations! . Beautiful job on your 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. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections. First off again, excellent job on your armour, and thank you so much for jumping in and making those mods to get you across the line for EIB. We can see that you have very broad shoulders and TK armour is going to sit a little differently on everyone but the Bells do look much better sitting in where they are now compared to the photo at the start of your application. I see you also mentioned you will change the Allen key bolts on your thermal Det to a more screen acurateset for your Centurion application. That my friend would be the icing on the cake for such a nice set of armour, so please do make that change Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. One thing we have noticed is the fact that your shoulder bells are on the wrong arms. If you look at the side on shot below, you can see the center ridge is swooping towards your back at the bottom. This should be curving the opposite directing and swoop forward, indicating it is on the wrong shoulder. reference image Easy swap, take some new photos and you should be good to go unless anything shows up in the more detailed set of photos needed for a Centurion application. We will mention due to recent conversations with RS Propmaster, they have been using the incorrect rivets for the knee ammo pack attachment. This is something they have now changed to again further the accuracy of their armour. You would need to replace the pop rivets with the correct Cap rivets on your armour, but this will be determined once we can confirm what type have been used on your armour. Congratulations trooper, see you in Centurion review Happy May the Fourth be with you Day

Hi Michael Sorry for keeping you waiting my friend, we are catching up on the backlog due to my absentee for three and a half weeks. Ukswrath and I were also both at C8 so we wont be too much longer. I would like to thank you though, for removing the UKG decal from the shoulder bell. We know its something you guys do, but unfortunately it is not part of the EIB and Centurion CRL's. You can put it back on once you have attained you badges. You look awesome by the way, very clean build and application. If you could also add a photo of the rear of your E11 showing the D ring, plus a photo of the other side of your Thermal Det so we can see the bracket s and screws, that would be excellent Sit tight.

You have done a great job with the updates, we will be back with you soon. Thank you for your patience.

You could grind the heads off the screws, remove the brackets, grind the rest of the screw down to the pipe. Re position the brackets , drill new holes and put new screws in. If you use some that dont require nuts you can Areldite them in, paint em black and your done. You got this Pete, you are so close to that EI badge and its is definitely worth it.

It was a pleasure to be part of your Centurion experience, well done and well deserved.

This was my first, and I really hope not my last opportunity to meet the people I talk with on our forums. Yes I wanted to see what a Celebration was all about, but I was not going to line up for any autographs, photos and C shop items as I was there for 2 days only. Did i get what wanted, more than you could ever imagine. Both Tim and Joseph have summed it up nicely. It was a collection of people and the memories of spending time with those people. You were all truly more than I could have ever imagined or wished for when it comes to awesome, genuine and good hearted folks. You are fantastic people in the flesh, and I honestly hope to see you all again someday. Highlights were too many to mention, but I came away with a sense that new friendships were struck, and existing friendships firmly reinforced. My accommodation was the Rosen Plaza, at the west end of the convention center. The sky bridge made it easy for access, and only on the Friday morning did I have to line up to get in. All in all an exceptional experience

Hello, what do we have here!!!, It's our fearless leader Daetrin, finally submitting for Centurion. Oh boy, we've been waiting for this one Lol But on a serious note, thank you for your application, lets get into it. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted. After a small team of us went to work on this armour during Celebration Orlando, thank you guys you know who you are, this armor now contains all necessary elements to qualify you for Centurion. Congratulations Paul, and about bloody time :salute: :salute: On another note, Paul is the 300th approval Tony and I have done since we started as Deployment officers, and it was a pleasure to do this approval for Paul in person. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Well, I've heard of the saying "dont get your undies in a twist", but I have never seen a cod strap in a twist, until now Lol! If there was anything else we would suggest, it is to consider trimming down or taking the corners off the top of the thighs so they cant dig into you. You look great boss, carry on. P.S. You will need to edit your own profile to add your Centurion badge, as we do not have access to modify an Administrator

Hi Peter, very sorry for the delay while having a look at your submission, we noticed the clips on your Thermal Det are sitting a little too far away from the end caps to meet the level 2 CRL as below. If you can fix this, we are ready to post up your review. For level two certification (if applicable): Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps. Thanks for your understanding.

Hey Joachim, great looking armour. You fellow troopers are giving you great advice, so I will list the changes you should make. Thermal det screws, are not a big deal for EI, but if you wish to push for Centurion, we will ask for them to be changed. You should also remove the printed information on the tube. This usually comes off with some thinners very easily. Your shoulder Bells do need to come in at the tops. They should be virtually touching the plastic shoulder bridges. Its an easy fix to shorten the elastic and have them looking right. The cod rivet position will be fine, but you will need to remove the white paint from it. You have great armour, so we certainly think you should get it up to Centurion spec easily. Please also add a photo of the end of your blaster showing the D ring. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hey Jeff, great to see you at Celebration, thank you for your application, lets take a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations Trooper well done! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. If there are any suggested corrections they will be made here, if any will effect a future application, they will be made in the Centurion section below. Overall, you have a nice set of armour, but with a few little adjustments and fixes, we are going to have you in Centurion form in no time. We shall start from the top and work our way down. I have huge respect for anyone that hand paints their helmet, I took the easy way out on my build, but have hand painted a few commission builds over the years. I think you can tidy up the edges on the ears and tears to make them a little straighter. I use a toothpick dipped in turpentine and scratch the paint away at the edge to straighten lines or remove any paint runs. Give it a try, it works a treat and is easy to clean up. Secondly, your Tube stripes need to be re applied. They should run evenly along side the cheek and positioned approximately a pencil thickness away from the cheek. Reference image It is difficult to check how your armour is sitting when having your photos taken for approvals, so the highlighted areas on the below image all seem to be simple dressing issues. This will be a good guide so you know the ballance we are looking for in Centurion app shots. Keep an eye on the shoulder bells and how they sit. Rotate them forward so as to close up the uneven gao between them and your chest plate, and make sure the sholder connecting white elastic isnt pulling out from under the bridge. Also even up the gaps between the bicep and fore arms, and the thigh height. Reference Image As we move down to your Ab and kidney plates, there are only minor adjustments needed. 1. The side gaps, we will cover off in the centurion section. 2. Main Ab button plate. It appears you have trimmed too much off around the edges of the button plate. I have added a reference image below to show how the originals were trimmed.It;s not something we will request you change but more just to point out to others how they usually should look. On the smaller button plate, you could still trimm some off so it is smaller than the part it mounts too. That is an easy fix. While at the mid section, we think your back to kidney straps can be shortened up so the plates stay nicely aligned, and maybe the shoulder bridges can be more centralised in their alignment. Thermal Det screws: These should be a flat blade pan head type screw and also painted black for that finishing touch. It is a little difficult to determine exactly what you have used due to the image size, but they look like rivets or Philips head screws Reference image Centurion Suggestions: In this section Uk or myself may suggest recommended or required repairs prior to applying for the Centurion level, however the accuracy it is ultimately up to the trooper. We do our best to cover everything, but the more detailed photos that come with a level 3 application may reveal other items that could require change. These are the few items that will require change to meet the level 3 requirements for your future Centurion application, so lets cover off on those. As per the CRL for level 3 Side gaps For level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. This gap looks too small to require a shim, so tighten up that belt Jeff Side rivets will require a lick of white paint to fit the requirement as below. Rivets are painted white. Ammo belt For level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes must have full inner drop boxes to close the back. Flat covers are not allowed. Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. So shorten the straps from which the drop boxes hang, make sure they align at the ends of the plastic ammo belt, and get yourself some inner boxes. I believe Mark from AP can supply those for you. Well that's it Jeff, thank you for your patience, make your corrections and get that Centurion application in. Congratulations trooper
