Welcome to the ranks bud. Congrats officially.

Looking good, should be an easy approval for EIB. A couple critiques: 1. Your hand guards are on the wrong hands, need to be switched. 2. You may want to shorten the shoulder bell straps so they are closer to your shoulder straps (to reduce gap) 3. Keep an eye on the ab/kidney gaps. You may need to tighten your belt and/or create some shims. Based on your body type it may just be an issue of tightening your belt. 4. take a picture of the d-ring on the back of the blaster. 5. need a picture of the outside rivet of the cod to make sure it is single and not painted. Also, word of advice; try to change the velcro system to snaps. You will be much happier down the line. Good Luck on your approval.

congrats Christine! well deserved. I'm sure you will take care of those minor details in no time.

Perfection. You will be onto Centurion in no time

Masterful job Christine. Especially on getting the new thighs. The armor looks amazing

Very nice job! Almost at the finish line

Looking good trooper. Just watch the separation on ur kidney/ab on the right side. <br> But should be an easy approval. <br><br> Good luck!

It's been said but you need to submit pics with you wearing the armor. Front, side and back views. And also an action shot. Also need to show the strapping system inside the armor <br><br> Good luck bud

You are being a bit harsh on yourself. But it looks like you are on the right track on those final touches. <br><br> Nice job. Good luck

Welcome back. We'll all keep an eye if u have any questions. <br> Good luck

What do you mean? Are they stationary? Aren't they on straps. Just shorten the straps between the thighs and the armor/belt system.

Yup. What he said lol. Nice job!

Yea the drop boxes need to be flush with the belt. And the straps should be nice thinner. Great job so far

Also take a photo of you dressed up completely from the front. It looks like you may want to raise your thighs as well. But I want to see a picture of u standing upright to confirm it's not just ur stance on the pics above.

Great job on the armor. I think it's been said, but you may want to raise the thighs a bit. They look low. <br><br> Also it looks like you forgot to paint the black ranking stripe on the ear of the bucket. <br><br> Good luck!

Yup I was going to mention the cod snap painted. Once u fix it you look good to go. <br><br> Word of advice to make the build a little cleaner, you may want to make the shoulder strap a bit longer so that you decrease the gap between your back plate and your kidney plate. <br> Also, trim a bit from the inside of the thighs (by the cod). Looks a bit tight and overlapped <br><br> Great job bough, you should be certified soon. Good luck

Yup it has been mentioned above. I would make the shoulder straps a little longer to bring down the chest a little, but try hiking up the cod a bit too. But as it is, the chest looks slightly too high and close to your neck. <br><br> As for the shins/thighs on the back. Yes it does not affect EIB status. Just make sure you look at references of other troopers. Try not to cut too much

Agreed. I'm glad your going to address that.

It's all based on height. Varies person to person. Just make sure you cut the top of thoughts and bottom of shins. Your numbers sound about right though

Yea I got lucky. I was right on that border of being shorter than the movie accurate trooper. Since I'm 5'8" the pieces fit as is fairly well. I know it's more work for you shorter troopers, but you are all doing a amasterful job!

I believe the anovos bucket is good enough for Expert Infantry as is. we all just believe some work can be done to make it more screen accurate. Fix the frown edges in paint and you may need to open up the eyes. Also buy a mesh for the back of the frown, not that its mandatory. Just looks nicer.

How tall are you guys. You're doing an amazing job btw...

That damn quote. I'm 5'8" and I get that short trooper line all the time. The main issue is that most of my fellow squad is well over 5'10" so I always look shorter. But damn. No respect lmfao

Looking beautiful. I can't wait to see this armor done. The weathering looks great

Yes I was going to mention it. But I know sly and Andrew are definitely going to highlight the strips
