Hi Shane Sorry but we are going to ask you to change those hand plates over. Your action shot gets used in another section of our forums so might as well suit up and take a new one of those. 5 images total that you need to replace. Front on, Action shot, front on helmet off, left side and right side shots. Thank you

TK-77797 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (Anovos) [699]
Sly11 replied to MacPhisto's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Solomon, we thank you for your patience lets get into your EI review. 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 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. We do have some things to go over so here we go. For ease of this application we shall start from the Helmet and work down from there. An Anovos helmet in it's original out of the box form, does need some refinement to bring it up to scratch. Many of the Anovos applicants to pass through EI and onto Centurion were suggested to make the corrections we're about to discuss. Some will be required to be repaired before submitting for Centurion if you choose to do so. That being said, the accuracy is still ultimately up to the trooper. It appears there is quite a bit of material left that can be trimmed and tidied up in the eye socket, I am referring to this small return at the top and towards the inner most part of the eyes. Moving down to the frown, we see that the gray paint stops short instead of tapering out to a point (Please refer to below image of screen used helmets) Must fix for Centurion Now we look at the Hovi tips and Vocoder The supplied mesh is very fine and can be upgraded to a larger gauge. The Vocoder, although not to bad on your helmet, can still have a slightly more defined edge. (again refer to the images below of screen used helmet) Reference images for examples of how to finish the ends of the frown. Turning to the side of the helmet and looking at the ear screws. These are domed head type and should be replaced with "V" style, flat head and slotted. You can find these on Trooperbay. You are required to have the drop boxes aligned with the ends of 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.While we are discussing the belt,this is a more difficult request. We commend you for making the required EIB belt modifications for ANH Stunt however, the cloth portion of the belt still does not meet Centurion requirements and we're requesting you replace it with one that is more screen accurate. There are a couple suppliers out there, TKittle for example. You can find them in the sales section. There's also a couple tutorials illustrating how to replace it if you're not sure how to perform this modification. Judging by your build this shouldn't be too difficult for you. Alignment of Ab and Kidney plate: Both these plates should be aligned at the top so the rivets are parallel and not offset. This may only be a dressing issue, but something to keep an eye on when having new photos taken for Centurion Well that's it Solomon, congratulations man, you made it to Expert Infantry!! Next step Centurion. Only a small amount of work to be done however we are very confident you will smash that out and we shall see you in Centurion review soon. -
TK - 99725 "Pyrates" requesting ANH Hero EIB Status [698]
Sly11 replied to Pyrates's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Aaron 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 Sir, your looking superb. We have a few very minor adjustment suggestions that have no bearing on your approval. These are only dressing issues. and will get you looking the best you can. 1. Even out how your forearms are sitting. 2. wear the ammo belt a fraction higher in the middle. 3. Tighten or shorten the straps between back and kidney plates. 4. Trim the corners off the fore arm rear cover strips. These are very self explanatory and highlighted in the two images below 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. Honestly unless anything becomes apparent in the extra images that are required in the Centurion application, this should be easy for you to achieve. Thank you for taking on all the advice given by your fellow troopers, it has helped you create a very impressive build. See you in Centurion review Trooper :salute: -

Back Armor Question
Sly11 replied to RoboTrooper's topic in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements
Hi Will The gap between your back and Kidney plates poses no issue for Expert Infantry. Unfortunately for Centurion, the two really will need to be sitting directly on top of each other, we pick on gaps that are at 1 cm and ask for straps to be shortened or similar. As mentioned in some of the comments above, the ideal fix would be to remove the shoulder bridges, and re set them further up the chest plate. This would in turn allow you to position the back plate lower and reduce the gap. -
Welcome aboard Kelly, looking forward to seeing your Phasma take shape.

Well deserved, as were all the entries. Looking forward to some more merch

TK-10596 requesting ANH hero EIB Status (AM 2.0) [694]
Sly11 replied to RLH2515's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Rob welcome and thank you for your EI application. Lets hit it!! 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. We have a couple minor suggestions to mention here. We want to start by saying, Wow, this is a nice AM 2.0 build!! Clean, tidy and in balance great work Robert. Lets kick off the few adjustments that will make you look the best you can. We think the shoulder bells can still come in some at the top, shorten up the top straps that connect the Bells to the elastic under the plastic shoulder bridges and they will sit just right. Reference Image May we suggest you flip the Chicago screws around so the opposite side is showing and the blade screw end is on the inside of the belt. If you are worried about them scratching your armour, you could always use some adhesive backed Velcro ( the soft half) and stick it to those screw heads. Thank you for the updated images of your Thermal Det and E-11, also great work. 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. A good review is one where the applicant has done their research, it also leaves us with minimal if any suggestions to make for Centurion. We only have one. Your drop boxes look to free float and possibly slide around out of possition. A little dab of glue or some adhesive Velcro will keep these in position, aligned with the very ends of 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. reference Image That's it, you are know Expert Infantry, Congrats and hope to see you in Centurion review soon! Congratulations -

TK 70305 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (Anovos) [691]
Sly11 replied to JWard's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Jen 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. Love your attention to detail, you have hit the ground running with he Anovos helmet, fantastic upgrades Jen. We only have a few alignment/dressing issues that will help you look more balanced , so here we go. Lets start from the shoulders and work down, You still have a small gap at the very top, that can come in by shortening those Bell to shoulder bridge straps Reference image Next we have a couple of very minor tweaks that will take you only seconds to make. If you could drop the left Bicep down a touch to match the gap on the opposite arm, and raise the belt so it sits either right at the base or slightly overlapping the main Ab button plate, you will look spot on. Reference image Ok Jen, last couple of items and we are done. Again just some strap adjustment to get the back plate sitting right on top of the kidney plate for perfection. So you could either shorten them or maybe use a wider stronger elastic to keep them sitting together. I can see that the butt plate pops out at the ends, and looking at the internal strapping I think this is also easily remedied. Relocate or add an extra two straps closer to the ends of the plates and this should reign the ends in. If you find the butt plate has insufficient flex, try reducing the amount of return edge you have at the sides and the three angles as you get to the V shape at the bottom. Centurion Suggestions: In this section Uk or myself may suggest recommended or required repairs prior applying for the Centurion level however, the accuracy it is ultimately up to the trooper. To be honest, its really the fine tuning that we have mentioned above that will make you a shining example of a Centurion, so if you can do those few things, we will hopefully see you in the Centurion reviews very soon. Congratulations yet again on a wonderfully clean and tidy build. -

Sly11 replied to DarSec's topic in FISD Centurion Requirements
Hi Guys Always submit for EI first and see if anything needs to be changed or modified first for Centurion. As to the thermal Det screws, the final accuracy is up to the trooper. If you want it as close as you can get, then do your research and get the right type of screws. One thing we mention is that they should be a flat blade type screw, and painted black is a nice touch. I look forward to seeing your Expert Infantry applications soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
