TK-19811 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [SDS] [623]
Sly11 replied to Traumtrooper's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hey Victor!, welcome to your EIB review and thanks 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 so congratulations Trooper! 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. One balance issue we do see here often is larger than necessary gaps between the top of the shoulder bells and the plastic shoulder bridges. These should be close to if not touching. Thank you for fixing these and submitting a new photo. The other minor element is probably just a dressing issue, but try and keep the gap between the bicep and forearm even on both sides, again this will have you looking more balanced. Reference Image Butt Plate popping out : When we look at your internal strapping in the image below this one, I can see that you have a couple of options. Moving your snap plates to the return edge allows for less elastic between the Butt and kidney plates and should reduce the amount the butt pops away from your body. Also using wider elastic that has less stretch can also help matters here. 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. Victor, you have done an excellent job of this SDS build and with the minor adjustments above you will look superb. One thing with your blaster, which we do come across from time to time is the rear sight mounting. In your case it is on back to front. The options are to try and carefully remove it and turn it around so the rough or serrated edge is facing the back, or do as Justjoseph has done and smooth out the serration on the front and carefully file the groves across the back portion and touch up the paint job. Reference image Well that's it, thank you again for a great application, make some adjustments and we hope to see you in the Centurion thread soon. -

Sly11 replied to JodoYodo's topic in Request Centurion Status
Hi David, thank you for your application for Centurion. Thank you for adding the missing pictures and making the requested forearm adjustments. Let's get started! CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required photos are present, and your armor has met all necessary requirements for level 3 CRL. Uk and myself would like to congratulate and welcome you to the Centurion ranks. Great job. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we make additional suggestions that will enhance the look of your armor. These suggestions are ultimately up to you and will not effect your L3 application. During your EIB application I suggested you bring your shoulder bells closer to your shoulder bridges and it looks like you did thank you however, moving them even closer so they basically touch is highly suggested, they still look to be a good 1" away. We also mention trimming the left forearm cover strip due it overhangs the return. We would also like to add maybe reducing the gap between the bicep and form. All these suggestions will give your armor a cleaner and more accurate appearance. Excellent! job on your build David and taking on the charging lever challenge you are to also be congratulated .The legion is proud to have another Centurion in it's ranks. -

Looking good Sarah. Just make sure you dont have any sharp corners as not only can they hurt when the dig in to you, but they also can damage your black under suit.

Sly11 replied to Traumtrooper's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Victor, just having a look at your submission and I have a suggestion for you. Shoulder bells: Any chance you could shorten up those top straps so the top of the bell touches the plastic shoulder bridge. Yours have a fair gap and don't look even. -
I agree Tim, maybe only good for some rough size and scaling, other than that, the only way to get those sharp details in ABS would be to use negative pulls and machined negative bucks. Of course the Beaty of that is also more even and consistent pulls. I know a local guy that has constructed a negative vac former for small pieces and the results are awesome. He makes BTTF bits and pieces not really SW stuff. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I believe the colour reference was to do with the limited artwork that was around for Deathtroopers. I guess green is a sick feeling colour and anything associated with rot probably lends itself to it. Perhaps it also represents mould growing on the armour from the rotting flesh beneath .

TK-11369 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status [RT-Mod] [622]
Sly11 replied to TK11369's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Reno, thank you for your application, lets get to it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. and your armour represents all elements as required by the Level 2 CRL,, with that said, 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. This is a wonderful build with all the juicy upgrades that can make the Anovos kit look so much better, thank you for the added effort. The only thing I can see is the fact that one thigh looks quite a bit larger than the other and lacks some tapper to it. At first I thought it may just be camera angle but when we look front and rear you can see the large gap between your knee and the bottom of the thigh. It also makes the ammo pack look expanded or large in comparison to the overall fit and balance of your armour. I would recommend cutting a wedge out to improve the taper to the knee and reduce the amount of play you will find during walking. This can also make you look knock kneed if the thigh starts to sit crooked. Centurion Suggestions: In this section, UK and I do our best to find anything that would effect your future Centurion application and high light it. Just watch the gap opening on you side between the Ab and kidney plate and the Butt plate is slipping up a touch, other than that, I am happy to say that unless more detailed photos reveal anything, you have one very clean build and we hope to see you in Centurion soon. Congratulations -
Hey Chris thank you for your EIB application, lets get started. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Great job on the prosthetics, however we do feel that there is not enough of the Drab olive weathering compared to past EI submissions and the CRL images. Without further delay, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations! 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. Excellent work with the prosthetics Chris from head to toe, literally, but we do have a few things to mention that will go a long way to making this Deathtrooper even better for a future Centurion application. Starting with the accuracy points, the Anovos Hovi tips could have the mesh replaced to a slightly larger guage as in the reference photo below, maybe even some more weathering or a bit of damage would go down a treat. I like the fact that you used to have a holster, torn off probably by the explosion that killed you originally, but perhaps dull down the shiney rivets so they look worn to match in with the rest of your look. Centurion Suggestions: In this section we try to point out all we can to make your armor as accurate as possible for a successful Centurion application. Because the Deathtrooper is a rare creature, this can be tricky and a little subjective. Both Tony and I agree, that your armour can do with more weathering in the drab olive green colour. It looks quite white compared to applications in the past so we would really like to see you take this up a notch. As I mentioned in the above section, your prosthetics are excellent the crack and damage work are also first class, just needs some more dirtying up You will also need to paint your side rivets white and add some weathering to those too. Well, that's the ball game!, thanks again for a really solid build, and your the first Anovos Deathtrooper to boot. See you in Centurion soon we hope.

Tolo is correct, the only way to have a legitimate recast would be to obtain full permission from the maker you wish to copy off, but it is still called a recast. I can't see Anovos giving anyone permission to copy their product considering the expense they went to obtaining an official licence from Disney LFL. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Seb Can you please add the link to your EIB application to the top section of you Centurion thread. Thank you, we will be with you shortly -
Well, let's say I am not an introvert. I love meeting people, love to talk, joke have fun etc, etc. Used to love clearing a dance floor in my younger days break dancing and jamming like Michael Jackson. I also like impersonating people (not that I think I am very good at this) but give me a few drinks and it can go up another level again. When in TK I have a few different characters . The Larrikin or the very serious soldier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sly11 replied to Hades's topic in Request Centurion Status
Hi Samuel, thank you for your Centurion application, lets get into it. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Centurion so congratulations Trooper! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: You have really done a great job with this SDS kit, definitely one of the better ones we have seen, thanks for making this an easy application and also thank you for turning that rear sight around to the correct direction. The only suggestion I would have and its purely a minor cosmetic change, would be to tidy up the excess glue on the sides of your sniper plate. Thanks again and welcome to the Centurion ranks -
