  1. TK-42191 Requesting ANH Stunt EIB Status (Locked due to inactivity)

    in Request Expert Infantry Status

    Posted

    I thank you for your time. I do disagree with your observation, interpretation and application of the CRL requirements about tube stripes. This helmet was make by AM's own master builder Eric Dyck. He's pretty good... and I like it just the way it is.

    Is it perfect? No. But I do believe it meets the CRL requirements for EIB as is.

    I believe the supplemental photos in better light addresses the fact that the stripes are matched as per Joseph's original concern is his comment. "The tube stripes on your left side should better match the ones on your right.  The left side seems to be arching down in the back. "

    If we can proceed no further due to this, even though Joseph's original comment was "Not the biggest of deals, as many things on ANH TKs were a bit wonky" then

    my tube stripes and I withdrawal my request to join the ranks of the Expert Infantry.

    Once again, I thank you and everyone else who spent their time looking at this for their time.

  8. TD screws

    in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements

    Posted

    Hello all,
    Getting ready to submit for EIB, and was getting ready to retro-fit my TD for panhead screws and I noticed this.
    "Clips shall be attached with slotted type, flat or dome top style screws, and be black (two per clip).

    Dome top screws are ok? Is this new?  My memory thinks it was always panhead only...
    Thanks for your time Troopers

    more data

    Yeah, they're just taped in for the moment, this was just an early fitting to show some progress and get a feel for how it's fitting. Shoulder bells need strapping, no buttons/rivets painted yet, my belt still in the works, shoulder straps are gluing...

    Just an update, and a good one!
    I've had great success with my local Garrison. They've done an awesome job. They have what they call an Academy support group, where they assign an Advisor to help with the build... not finished yet, but getting there. On these shots, the belt is borrowed from his HWT just for looks...
    Still more to do, but it's coming together!
    Thanks for the support Troopers.

    So, I'm starting on my clamshell and (as I'm not aiming for Centurion, just EIB) am using the double snap elastic method. My question for you is this;
    I'd like to just use snaps on the Abdomen to the Kidney on the left side and just install non functioning rivets (I still want to have rivets, even though EIB doesnt require). I like the idea of completely being able to break down the kit for storage, vs. a permanent connection of riveted elastic connecting the Ab to Kidney... Is this ok? It seems most of the approval requests have the rivets actually functioning.
    Thanks in advance.

     If you haven't done so already I would also sign up on your local Garrison's site and introduce yourself, (we can help with that as well).

     

    I have signed up with the Old Line Garrison of Maryland. I went to an armor party, but the members there had more experience with Clone armor rather than TK. Nice folks none the less. I need to reconnect with them now that the build has begun.
