  1. This is really looking nice Kalani
  2. My pleasure glad to be of assistance , Troopers Helping Troopers
  3. Hey Greg, they all need to be "V" head type like in the following illustration. Placement, so long as their near the seal you'll be fine at all levels of approval.
  4. Congrats
  5. For basic you should be fine with the kidney gap. EIB if you choose to shoot for it is roughly 1/2" gap or less AM or RT-Mod. Contact information can be found in the "Armor and where to but it" section
  6. Cost me $1500 and I knew the painter
  7. Congratulations Nizam and welcome to EI
  8. Hi Daphne welcome back and thank you for your Centurion application. Thank you for making the suggested adjustments made by Andrew. Let's take a look. CRL and Centurion Application Requirements: All required submission photos appear to be present. Fantastic job on your build. At this time the FISD Deployment crew would like to welcome you to Centurion. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: We have nothing more to add except for welcome to Centurion
  9. Whatever is easiest. Not everyone has a vise or some ability to clamp down the cap while cutting. Leaving it on the tube accomplishes that
  10. Thanks Wesly. Photos are what we have to go by so better angles improve will our suggestions. A straight shot from all the required elements helps us greatly. Congrats again
  11. Hey Wesley, thank you for your EIB application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required submission photos have been submitted. Your armor displays all the required components for L2. The DO crew and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry . Beautiful job on your RS armor build. 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. We have a few areas to go over here so let's get to it. Before getting started we'd like to say the accuracy of your armor is ultimately up to you. At the higher levels of approval we strive for excellence. Though we may make suggested or highly recommended repairs it's still up to you to decide. Taking a look at your helmet first, the ear placement should be so that the upper and lower mounting screws follow the trap trailing edge. Yours though not bad should be more at an angle and less vertical. If you can make this adjustment without damaging to your helmet we suggest doing so. Reference photo Next up the brow. The lowest the brown should typically go is the top of the eye socket return edge. We've provided some reference photos so that you understand what were trying to illustrate. We're suggesting you raise the brow. Reference photo On to the tube stripes which should roughly be a No.2 pencil width from the face. We're recommending you reposition yours. Reference photo Exiting the helmet next up the shoulder bells. There should be minimal gap between the shoulder Bells and Chest & Back plates. Though yours are nice and tight on the lower section we're requesting you tighten the upper connecting straps to bring the top in closer to the chest to back straps as seen in the provided reference photo. Reference photo Scrolling over to the arms, the cover strips should be facing forward on the left arm. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning none the less. Reference photos The posterior, aka butt plate should remain beneath the kidney plate. It is suggested you tighten the strapping between the two sections. Reference photos Lastly, though it doesn't have to be perfect the sniper side return edge should follow the same contour of the shin armor. Also, you can thin out the return a bit to help prevent scraping against your knee cap. We're suggesting you trim as illustrated. Reference photos Centurion Suggestions: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. We have a few areas that will need to be resolved before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so. The Ab/Kidney rivets are to be roughly 10mm from the vertical return edge. Though the Ab rivet placement look ok, the Kidney rivets look considerably off. This could a simple photo issue, if not you'll need to address this before applying for Centurion if you choose to do so. The CRL states: Level three certification (if applicable): Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. Reference photo Next up waist belt placement. The upper edge of the ammo belt should be at or just below the lowest Ab plate buttons. This will need to be adjusted. Note: The belt placement near the Thermal Detonator is a bit high. Resolving the front could be as simple as pulling down the rear. The CRL states: Level three certification (if applicable): The top of the ammo belt should sit at or just below the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Reference photo Lastly the waist drop boxes should be aligned with the edge of the ammo belt. The simple fix for this is to glue the drop box connecting strap to the cloth belt. The CRL states: Level three certification (if applicable): The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. Reference photo That's it, congratulations again on your EI badge. Great job and hope to see you at Centurion. If you have any questions feel free to ask us for help.
  12. I cannot wait for you to finally finish this build
  13. YESSS! Let's do this
  14. Do a web search for Anovos Stormtrooper armor or better yet visit the "Armor and where to find them" section here
  15. Nice!
  16. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): ..... Any shims used to achieve this effect are of a similar material and color as the abdomen and kidney armor. Shims fit flush and seams are allowed. OPTIONAL Level three certification (if applicable): .... A single visible seam line is present.
  17. There's a few modifications you'll need to make. Take a look at the CRL. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_commander The back/posterior plate fuse as you mentioned and the Ab button configuration/requirement, not to mention the "U" edge gasket. Edit: Oh, and the shoulder strap assembly.
  18. Just when you thought Anovos was the worst. There are a couple vendors working on their versions, hopefully they'll be out soon.
  19. Thank you
  20. Time for a refreshment lol. Since I'm on the correct page now maybe this is something we can suggest to PB. R1 E-ll btw
