  1. Hi Preston Screws for Thermal det are a slotted head, the type that require a normal flat blade screw driver to tighten. The top shoulder bell straps could be shortened up so the top of the bell almost touches the plastic shoulder bridge. Tony and I are running a bit behind so have a go at adjusting those straps. Dont need to worry about the screws for the Thermal det, as they are not a CRL requirement, only an accuracy thing that we suggest. Could you also add a photo of the rear of your blaster showing the D ring. Lastly, the cover strip on your thigh is to long. It should finish at the top of that bottom ridge and no go over and on to it. Thank you,

  3. Hey Jerome, thank you for your EI application, so lets get into it!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry , congratulations Trooper and welcome to the rank. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observation made by us and your fellow troopers, if any of these observation would affect a future application, they will be made in the above and or below sections. It is great to see good builds of Anovos armour coming through. I only wish Anovos would do something about correcting the helmet frowns and using correct screws so we didn't need to bring it up in so many applications. Although some of those elements don't have a bearing on approvals, they would look more the real deal. Overall Jerome, a very nice job sir with a few little adjustments and we will also go through the changes to make you look your best below. This is most probably only a suiting up issue, but just wear the fore arms at the same height so you have nice balance of the visible black areas. Also perhaps look at moving the shoulder bell straps forward so the gap between them and the chest plate decreases. I noticed in the full rear shot that gap is almost closed, so I think relocating the straps is all it will take. Two things may be causing the separation between the bottom of the back plate and top of the kidney. 1. the straps are too long at the Back-kidney juncture. 2. The chest to shoulder elastic straps are a touch too short causing the back plate to rise. Take a look at both and see what works best here so the plates sit nicely on top of each other. As ewe move down to the thighs, one is sitting higher than the other so level them out with a strap adjustment to slightly increase the height of the ammo belt thigh. Not quite sure what happened here but it does look like the plastic ammo portion of the belt is not mounted centrally to the canvas belt proper, but rather sitting too high up. it is reasonably noticable and there might be a little work to move it depending on how you have mounted it and what glue you have used on the button plates. I would like to see more photos of the back of the belt to help offering up a simple solution. Secondly, your drop boxes will need to align with the ends of the belt for Centurion, so perhaps a dab of glue to secure the elastic in the correct position so they dont move inwards and away from the ends as we can see in the supplied photo. Ok, so know we will look at the finer details of accuracy, the things that after all the effort, Anovos should get right out of the box. These little things make all the difference to having that just walked off the set look to an already great set of armour. The supplied ear screws should be the V head, not pan or dome head type as supplied. Reference Image Thermal Det screw should be Pan head variety and slotted or flat blade, not the supplied Philips head type, and as the cream on top painted black. Reference image You could also swap out the mic tip mesh for a larger type. We see many troopers using kitchen sieves to cut out from and glue in place with a touch of CA glue. Reference Image It might seem like quite a list but they are in the grand scheme of things only minor issues that can have you looking even more spectacular than you already do. 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. We have a few areas to mention here. The frown is something that we really like to see corrected as it is just not accurate for AHN Stunt. The ends should gradually taper out to a point and not finish square at the ends. Below we have supplied a series of different screen used images of the frown, so please choose one you like and modify to suit. Although a little difficult to see clearly, I would just like to point out the extra seam line on your side shims. For Centurion this needs to be almost invisible, so i can see some ABS paste work in your future. A mix of ABS small off cuts and shavings mixed with acetone to create a toothpaste like consistency. You then smear this on along th join and when set, sand it back using fine sandpaper and finally polishing it until the seam line is gone. As per the Level 3 CRL A single visible seam line is present. As we say above the final accuracy is up to the trooper, some take it to extreme and some don't. Either way it is really up to you and how hard you want to push the envelope. Congratulations once again, and we hope to see you in Centurion review in the future.
  4. Thanks brother, Know I don't need to mention it in your review. It wont be too much longer.
  5. Hi Jerome I am going over your submission photos and noticed you have painted the snaps on the Butt plate white. These should not be painted. Would be great from an accuracy standpoint if you removed the paint and posted up a new photo.
  6. Hi Walt<br><br> UK and I ar running a little behind, and will be with you as soon as possible.<br><br> In the mean time, could you shorten up the top straps of your shoulder bells so the bell virtually touches the plastic shoulder bridge, it's going to make you look that much more accurate.<br> Thanks in advance for your patience.
  7. I will edit the title for you later today Ryan. U.K. And I are running a little behind so we will be with you as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your patience. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Hey sweet build Chris, we will be with you as soon as possible, old life has thrown both UK and me a curve ball and work is dominating our time . Thanks in advance for your patience. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Hi Taylor, thank you for your application for Centurion, lets get to it!! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos are present. Thank you for making the suggested minor corrections, your armour meets all requirements as set out by the level 3 CRL. With that Uk and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you to the Centurion ranks. Great job. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: We have nothing to add except for Awesome job with your build, head on out and continue to make your garrison proud.
  10. Hi Jerome Could we please get a photo of the D ring from the rear of the blaster, and we would also like to see a photo of your entire belt laid out. Thank you
  11. Hi Joseph, thanks for your application for EI, lets continue on from where we left off CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present and 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. Thank you for posting up the correction photos, you look much better now, perhaps shorten the straps between the back and kidney in the center to try and bring the gap down a bit. The knee ammo pack should be mounted in line with the top of the ridge and not really protrude above it. Also the rivet should be a little closer to the edge. Really the only way to fix this is to drill a knew hole in the knee pack and fill the old hole in with ABS paste, sand and polish it. This is an accuracy thing more than anything and is a suggestion to gt you looking the best you can We will also require a photo of both sides of this knee pack in a Centurion application Butt Plate: This is popping out and up over the bottom of the Kidney plate. which might just be a photo problem, but if it persists, you can try and shorten the outer most straps to keep it closer to your body. Centurion Suggestions: As per CRL For level three certification (if applicable): No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. You still have some return edge that can be taken out in the area indicated. We also require a photo of this end with both fore arm pieces so we can see that there is no return edge left on either. Reference Image showing no return edge. Only other suggestion based on what we can see in your photos is make sure you close up those side gaps between the Ab and Kidney plates, they are close enough for Expert Infantry but need to be completely closed for level 3. You have done an excellent job with your armour, and only a couple of minor things to sort out. Make sure you follow the Centurion CRL carefully and post up all the required photos in a Centurion application. Again Congratulations and we hope to see a Centurion app from you in the future
  12. Hi Joseph, thanks for your application for EI, lets check you out!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present however there is something we will require you address before we can award you the EI badge. As per the CRL for level 2 EI for ESB, there shall be no or minimal overlap of the kidney plate to the back plate. The back plate should sit right on top of the kidney plate. Reference Image original armour There are two possibilities here. 1. You could shorten the shoulder straps, so the back plate sits higher up and reduces or eliminates the overlap. 2. Lower the Ab and kidney plate, or even a little bit of both 1 and 2. Once you have had a play around please post up a new rear and side photo and we can continue with your review. Thanks for your patience, and we are here to help, and great set of armour by the way
  13. Hey Manny, Thank you for updating your information and pictures, let's get started on your EIB application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted. We would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry. Great job! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we'll discuss observations made by us that are suggestions to improve the overall final look of your armor. If these suggestions would affect your application, they will be mentioned in the below section.w Originally we had a few areas that could have used a little TLC, but since you have taken the tougher route of loosing some weight, your armour fits you much better, and you are to be commended for that. We see the gap where the S trim doesn't meet at the back of your helmet. May we suggest moving that around to the front under the chin where it wont be seen, creating a tidier finish to that beautiful helmet. Centurion Suggestions: In this section Ukswrath and myself or your fellow troopers may suggest required or recommended repairs prior to applying for the Centurion level however, the accuracy is ultimately up to the trooper. The only area here is to get those side gaps between your AB and kidney plate, virtually non existent. At the rate you are loosing weight you will be there in no time. Alternatively you could make some small side shims, but honestly, keep doing what you are doing. Make sure you follow the level 3 CRL carefully to get those little elements spot on and using the photo check list and get all the required shots posted up in one hit. Thanks again for your excellent efforts to get yourself across the line and yet again, congratulations.
  14. Hey Manny, good on you brother, glad to see you back. We will get onto your application again as soon as possible.
  15. Yes option 2 and full length Velcro, it is how I did mine and many troopers on here and in my garrison do it. It works very well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  18. Hey Aaron, thank you for your Centurion application, lets get it done. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present and your armor meets all the Centurion requirements. Ukswrath and myself would like to congratulate, and welcome you to the rank Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Everything is in order, thank you for persevering with those fore arm return edges, and your patience with me Lol!! Congratulation once again Centurion, get out their and continue doing your garrison proud
  19. Looks good. Are you using Photobucket to upload the images? Also have a suggestion for you, but this won't effect your EI app. The sniper plate should align with the ridge at the top of your shin, yours is sitting at the bottom of it. Yes I know they are a difficult thing to align as I had a devil of o time trying to get mine right. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. Thanks Nam we will be with you soon. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Hey Nam Can you please remove the white paint from the cod rivet and butt plate snaps. Take a new photo and post up when done. Thank you Andrew
