TK-62000 requesting ANH Stunt EIB status ]689]
Sly11 replied to scottdm62's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Is it just me, or can everyone else see the images in your application. All i see are links of which i need to go into individually. Any chance you can post the actual images instead. If google drive isnt working for you perhaps try IMGUR, no adds and easy to use once you have a play. -

Hi Christopher, welcome to your Centurion review, let's get it done. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the Centurion required components. We would like to congratulate and welcome you to level 3. Excellent work!! You have done a wonderful job with this AP kit thank you. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: One thing we missed in your EI approval, that was made more apparent to us in the extra close up image you provided is the amount of excess material left at the ends of your plastic shoulder bridges. We have pointed these out and supplied a reference image as to how they should be trimmed. Our miss is your benefit, but with such a great looking kit, there's another step you could take towards screen accuracy. If you do decide to modify them, please be sure to post up a photo. Head on out and continue to make the Legion proud Trooper -

Hi Christoph, we will be with you shortly, in the mean time I would flip your Chicago screws around so the screw head is on the inside of your belt and the rivet looking side is on the outside. If you are worried about them scratching your armour, you can stick a small piece of adhesive Velcro over the screw heads (use the soft half ). Also we need photos of both sides of the sniper plate, knee ammo pack and both fore arms wrist end. Currently you only have one of each. Thank you -

TK-77797 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (Anovos) [699]
Sly11 replied to MacPhisto's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Solomon Your fore arms are actually on the wrong arms, please swap them so the 11 dimples is on your left arm and 12 dimples on your right. Then the fore arms might sit where they should as they could still be rotated outward a little Easy rule of thumb is to line up the front cover strip of the bicep, with the top cover strip of the fore arm. -
Yeah, we notice but we love it regardless. It's Star Wars!!!! Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am super impressed with the caliber of designs everyone has produced. This is going to be a tough decision.

Also a photo of the other side of the sniper plate Please post up a new image. when ready. Thanks Chris we are almost there. -
Hey Mike!! 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. Wow Mike, great quality build, well balanced and clean. This leaves us with very few things to pick on at all which is great There are some attention to detail items which are predominantly helmet related, that Anovos just havnt got quite right, and with a build as good as yours, we think you should go for these few modifications and bring the screen accurate look up another level. Vocoder paint: each ridge should have a more defined edge. Hovi mix mesh: The Anovos mesh is very fine, where we like to see a more screen accurate larger grid format.These is easiest to show with an image so please refer to that below. Image: Reference image Ear screws: these should be a countersunk or V head, slotted variety rather than the domed heads that come on the helmet. Thermal Det screws: These should be a slotted pan head type and not the star or Phillips head variety. Yes these are all very minor but what a Centurion application you would have, if those little finishing touches were done. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you the best we can for Centurion. Well its all above really, wonderful build, couple of steps towards screen accuracy and we expect to see a Centurion application from you very soon. Congratulations Mike!!

TK - 17680 Requesting ROTJ Centurion Status (CFO) [302]
Sly11 replied to Dougiefresh80's topic in Request Centurion Status
Hi Doug, welcome to your Centurion review, let's get it done. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the Centurion required components. We would like to congratulate and welcome you to level 3. Excellent work!! The Detachment now has another excellent ROTJ Centurion TK. We would like to thank you for your patience and perseverance with your EI and Centurion application and review process, there was much debate and input during the entirety of Doug's initial review regarding some screen accuracy and wording in the CRL. We would like to thank Mak from CFO for his understanding and invaluable input and Doug for his willingness to take our recommendations head on and make some changes to fit within the current CRL guidlines. -
The kidney plate is a fairly standard position to add shims, as per many past builds and reviews. Ukswrath is correct, we are currently reviewing an application with both Ab and kidney shims as each is several inches wide, it has placed the main seams very central on this particular trooper, but this doesnt mean it will work for everyone. It really is going to depend on how big those side gaps are.

Hey Jorge welcome and Thank you for your EI application. Lets take a look. 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. Another beautiful RS kit with an obvious aim for Centurion in the near future. Great attention to detail here, so thank you for an easy application, and the extra images you posted up. This is a well deserved EI badge. Centurion Suggestions: The addition of some of the Centurion level photos also make this application easier to make suggestion, but we really only have one to make and it is regarding the fit of your Ab and Kidney armour around your mid section. We will need to see a detailed image in your upcoming Centurion applications that clearly shows the side rivets. As the armour fits at the moment, both the halves overlap quite a bit at the sides, preventing a good view of this area. Our suggestion is to place some pieces of foam on the inside of the Ab plate and possibly the Kidney plate to bring the halves out from your stomach and back, thus separating the overlap and having the two plate meet at the join. If this is only caused by the belt being worn too tight then simply losen it, but from the photos it doesn't look like it is. reference image Once again, thank you for a lovely RS build and we hope to see you in Centurion soon, well done Trooper

Hi Michael, thank you for your application for Expert Infantry, lets get strated! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted, but your side shims need to be addressed as per the EIB CRL. .Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide. This you have correct .Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the abdomen and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed. We see from the photos provided that your shims look to be mounted behind the AB and the Kidney plate, and not flush with. The way they are currently mounted is how you would start to make a base to which you mount the shim, so it is flush with the surface of the two halves. Much like a butt joint and cover strip, only the cover strip is on the inside of your armour. Reference image of side shim flush mounted. This image came from the below link. There are quite a few photos to help explain how this trooper went about making large side shims. Also we have many many troopers who have needed to make the side shims due to the original small size of the armour, but all have mounted their shims from the kidney plate and not a double set also on the Ab. Your Ab shims also place the upper Ab snap and Ab rivets in the wrong locations. One shim per side is also less work in general You can do this, based on your overall build, you can do this easy. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30226-side-shims-on-abkidney-help/?hl=%2Bside+%2Bshims When complete, please post up some new photos showing the change plus those extra couple of images we requested in the above post to this one, and we shall continue with your review. We are here along with your fellow troopers, to help.

TK 21228 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB [SDS] [679]
Sly11 replied to francisco66's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Francisco welcome to your EI review and thank you for your 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. Sly and myself would like tot welcome you 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. I have requested in your application thread some clearer and preferably larger images of the back of your shins. This is so we can clearly see the details required to give you better feedback for you if you decide to apply for level 3. and doesn't have an effect on this applications approval. 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. Although this will not have a baring on your approvals, your Thigh armour is sitting a bit low and should be raised to even out the gaps at the top and at the knee. There are a few things you will need to modify or change to meet the Centurion CRL requirements, but fear not, these are all very simple for you to achieve. Lets start at the top: You have two options to bring your helmet up to spec, either replace the traps and tears decals with the Dave M hand painted style, or hand paint them yourself. Either way, the supplied decals will need replacing. Also the addition of a single rank bar on each ear for accuracy and uniformity will be a nice finishing touch. For level three certification (if applicable): Tears/traps shall be hand painted or use decals that emulate hand painted (with correct ANH TK details). For level three certification (if applicable): Ear bars shall have only one bump painted in black (rank stripes). Reference images Overall you have done a great job with this kit, and its only the little things in the CRL for level 3 that need attention, like the positioning of the drop boxes. 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. Image for reference Thank you Francisco, for such a nice SDS build, congratulation Trooper. My advice for you, if you do decide to apply for Centurion, and we think you should, is to make sure your photos are clear, and larger as we did have some difficulties seeing everything we need to, for offering the best feedback. Also make sure you use the Level 3 photo check list and carefully follow the CRL.a We hope to see you in Centurion soon. -
AP thermal Dets are slimmer than most other makers, but this will have no baring on an application. The thermal Det belt clip locations will if you intend to go to Centurion and for that little touch of accuracy. These should be mounted out wide and virtually if not touching the end caps of the Det. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sly11 replied to francisco66's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Francisco, and our apologies for the delay. Can you please post up a clear close up photo of the back of your shin armour. it is hard to see the cover strip detail and will help us make any recommendations. Also, the left and right side arms raised photos should be taken close up so they expose the side details like the rivets if installed and the upper AB snap. Could you please post up new photos of these as well. We are getting there brother, thank you for your patience. -
