Hey Solomon your fellow troopers are guiding you well. Can we please ask for a photo of both your fore arms side by side showing the wrist end opening, preferably when you are not wearing them. Also yes your thigh ammo pack has been installed upside down. You will need to correct this for your Centurion application. Also your side gaps are still a touch too big. See if you cant tighten your belt a little more to bring the gap down more. Any questions please don't hesitate to send me a PM

Those are perfect mate, thank you.

Looking good Pete. Can I please ask for a photo of the rear of your E11 showing the D ring and also a side on and front image of you kitted up with the holster attached to your brlt. Many thanks and we will be with you as soon as we catch up on the backlog after being away for celebration.

Hi Jeff Can we please have a photo of the other side of your thermal det please. Thanks for your patience, I'm just getting back into the swing of things

Great job on your armour Paul, I'm back in Australia now, so tony and I will be with you once we catch up on these apps

Yes Jim, make the helmet,. Your work is awesome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Martyn thank you for your EIB application, lets get going. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present and your armor displays all the elements required for Level 2 Badge. Congratulations and welcome to Expert Infantry!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. Suggestions made here are to improve the overall look of your armor. If these suggestions would effect an application they will be mentioned in the above or below sections. We love a good RS build and this is no exception, with only a couple of very minor suggestions needed. You do have some separation occurring between your back and kidney plate, and firmly believe that if you shorten the elastic on the brackets, this will have them sitting closer together. Reference Image Great work on the Anovos Helmet too, its so good to see one with all the recommended mods done straight up in an EI application, and hopefully other future EI applicants can take a leaf from your book. Centurion Suggestions: In this area we try to prepare you for Centurion, and unless anything presents itself in the extra photos required in the level 3 application, we only have one item to mention. As per the Level 3 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.Im sure yours have only sliped in slightly, but maybe a dab of glue or a small piece of adhesive Velcro will stop them from moving along the belt That is it good sir, great application and set of armour, Congrats and we shall see you in Centurion soon

Hi Marty, we wont be too much longer, in the mean time could you please post up a photo of the end of your blaster showing the D ring. We understand it is missing from the photo check list but that is being revised and will be updated soon. Looking sharp sir

Hi Aaron, 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: Nothing to add here. Thank you for making the adjustment as set out in your EIB review Head on out Centurion

Hey Jim thank you for your patience and welcome to your EI review. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required 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. Not much to cover Jim which is excellent, so lets look at what we think. You must be pleased with how this build has gone, good balance, clean lines overall, and only a few dress issues. The most common that we see are the shoulder bells and positioning. Yours aren't too bad, but could still do with those top straps being shortened to make the tops of the bells touch the shoulder bridges. The left one could also be rotated forward slightly to even the gap with the right. We would also recommend dropping the left fore arm down to replicate the gap you have on the right between the Bicep. Your belt positioning is also just a touch out. It should sit over the base of the main Ab button plate as in the below reference image. Reference image. One more thing is the length of your forearm cover strips. They are a little short at the elbows, and do look better if they are run to the end of the two halves. We look at these little things to get as many of our troopers looking as much the same as we can. 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. Well Jim the only thing that stands out here is some return edge left at the wrist end of your fore arms. As per the CRL For level three certification (if applicable): No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. All this material has to come out. Reference Image That is it my friend, a fantastic job of your armour with some minor corrections and you are ready to shoot for Centurion. Congratulations once again sir

Looking good, love the shoes Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Teresa, yes yes we can see you now will be with you as soon as possible.

Yep it's perfect

Nice work Aaron, we shall be with you shortly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey Mark Thank you for your EI application. Lets get started. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Welcome to the rank 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. Only some very minor things to look at that we know you will have done in a flash, so here they are. Very minor gap between back and Kidney plate: This is most probably just a tiny strap adjustment to keep the gap to is minimum and even across the back. While we are on the below image, just make sure you have your help take some photos of the back of you to check and make sure you are happy with the alignment of various parts, like your calf closures, its only a dressing issue, but something to be mindful of. Reference image Drop the thighs to even out the gaps: just drop them a touch so you don't have as much of a gap at the knees. 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. We are happy to state,that this is a very nice clean build and thank you for adding in a few extra photos. great attention to detail, and just those few little adjustments we have mentioned above and you will be spot on for Centurion. Congratulations and get that Centurion application together, very well done trooper.

Legend, thank you

Hi Brian, thank you for your EI application time to review your armour. 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 from Tony and myself 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 would like to say great work on your armour and for taking on some of the suggestions made by Joseph, those calf closures look much better. Just a few more things to tweak so you look your best, so here we go. You still have an excessive gap between the top of the shoulder bell and the plastic shoulder bridges. This should be a very quick fix by simplel shortening those black elastic straps that connect them to the shoulder bridge strapping. These two armour pieces should be virtually touching each other. I have used one of your close up photos so you can see the gap we are talking about. Thjis adjustment is recomended on both the left and right shoulder reference image Ear screws on helmet: Anovos unfortunately supple the wrong type of screw for the ears. Theirs is a domed head flat blade, where a counter sunk V shape flat head, flat blade is what s seen on originals. Yes its a fine detail, but when you build a kit as well as you have, we are always going to recommend those little things be changed. reference image Kidney to back plate alignment. Now we are sure that these sit a little lop sided due to two things. The weight of the blaster on your hip, and probably the fact the strapping is Velcro. You can either replace those straps with a wide black elastic, or really tighten up the strapping on that side, as it places your Butt plate as well as the kidney plate off level. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you the best we can for a Centurion application, some elements may become more apparent to us in the extra images needed in a Centurion application, so follow the level 3 CRL and photo reference guide closely. Ultimately the final accuracy is up to the trooper. Drop box alignment: as per the Level 3 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.If you can either dab a small amount of glue, or use adhesive Velcro between the drop box strap and the canvas belt, these will always stay in the perfect possition aligned at the ends of the plastic ammo belt. Reference image Thermal Det screws: On the originals, these screws were flat blade type and painted black. Its one of those things we really like to see at Centurion level, again as a fine detail. Reference Image Brian, please consider trimming the return edge out of the end of your fore arms, and making the suggested and required mods. You are worthy of Centurion and we would love to see you achieve it. Well done mate, would be proud to march along side you

Hi Mark, nice work on the armour, could we please ask for photos of your belt laying out flat front and rear please.

The words I want to use are not allowed in these chats lol, Loving it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

All the return edge must be removed, so yes trimming out the bump is needed for Centurion

Where is the link so you can take my credits

Have had a brief look at your application and Joseph is steering you in the right direction. There is no reason why you should not apply for Centurion down the track. Your armour looks great, you just need to fix a few minor things. Hopefully you will reconsider the Centurion application later on as I believe you have what it takes to do it.

Great action photos Solomon, thank you.

Hey Shane, thank you for your EI application. Lets get started. 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! 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 a couple suggestions that will help with the overall look of your armor, For ease of this application, we will start at the helmet and work our way down. Some of the items in this list are a must fix for any future Centurion application so I will make mention of those again in the Centurion section. Overall this is a really nice build Shane, well done, all these little things below will be a breeze for you to correct. There is a little bit of surplus material in the eye sockets that can be trimmed out. We know the Anovos helmets come pre-built so I guess the finer details are what gets missed in mass production of an item. Next we look at the frown, this really should be tapered out to a point, so have posted some references below this image for you to choose from. (Fix for Centurion) We did notice you fixed up the Vocoder in your application, so thank you, iyt looks more defined and much better Another mod you can make, although not a deal breaker, is to change out the fine mesh in the Hovi tips to a larger gauge like the originals. Have added a reference imageb elow for those for you to have a think about. Frown references Hovi mesh reference The ear screws are another one of those tiny little details that can be replaced. The actual type of screw is a Flat blade , flat head counter sunk or V shaped variety, not like the dome head flat mount that Anovos supply. Reference Next up is a tiny strap adjustment, although this may only be caused by the weight of your blaster on your hip, but perhaps shorten that outer most strap so the Back plate sits evenly on the kidney plate and its perfect. A while back it was determined by the Detachment staff that the Anovos belt was too thin and just doesn't sit nicely, but also the fact it had to be patched up to fit the CRL for a Stunt TK. Unfortunately, this belt needs to be replaced as a Centurion requirement. We have a few very good suppliers right here in FISD so ask around and you will be steered in the right direction. Also the positioning of your belt is quite low in the front and should sit over the base of or even a slight overlap on the lowest button of the main Ab button plate. Reference for position While we are on the belt you have two minor drop box adjustments which are Centurion requirements. First, the boxes must be aligned with the ends of the belt. We can see by some of your photos that they move around a bit, so a dab of glue or some adhesive backed Velcro can stop them from moving inwards. 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. The Left hand drop box also appears to be lower than the other. Make sure these are virtually if not touching the bottom of the plastic ammo belt. Reference belt allignment Last of all , paint those screws on the Thermal Det black, for that screen accuracy that we really like to see in every Centurion application Reference Thermal Det Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We do one area that will need to be address before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so. Recap on Suggestions and must fix: Helmet details: Frown Must fix Hovi mesh Suggestion Belt details: Replaces Anovos belt Must fix Drop Box alignment Must fix Gap in Back and Kidney plate Suggestion Thermal Det Must Fix Although some of the suggestions above are not deal breakers for a Centurion application, we think you can absolutely smash those as well as the CRL requirements that must be changed. After all, Centurions want to look as good as they can and if you can build a TK kit as well as you have, there is no reason not to go all the way. Check the Lvl 3 CRL requirements, and the photo check list to make sure you have everything you need for a smooth application and review. Congrats once again Shane, we hope to see you in Centurion review soon. :salute:

if you could replace the originals it would be awesome. Thanks Shane
