Hello everyone!
I just wanted to close out my application with a final update. I absolutely apologize for the delay in response.
I made a number of changes to my armor from this thread to include: correcting my hovi mic tips, correcting my thermal detonator placement, and correcting my shoulder strapping with white on top and black underneath (recommended by Nairy).
As far as the paint on the frown and my sniper knee plate placement, I'm going to leave those as is and understand that it will not meet the EIB qualification. I've consulted with friends and after trying a number of procedures, it is just not something I am comfortable with doing to my armor.
What I wanted to say is that regardless of my approval for EIB, you all have come forth and drastically improved the overall look of my armor and I feel proud of the changes made.
I cannot thank you all enough for your time in going over my application and giving me detailed recommended changes. It is appreciated more than you know.
All the best,
Nick
