Awesome - I´ll update the status to "In review

Hi Tuomas and thank you for your EIB application. Just need a photo showing the inside of the cod rivet to make sure it´s either a split or single cap rivet

Just above the knee would be a good reference point to start with. Depends on hight and spacing with cod and shins. Depends on the overall look, a taller Trooper might need some gap but preferably there’s minimal gap. A good rule of thumb is that if you are a taller Trooper you adjust the shoulder strapping and keeping the torso pieces butted up. In general no, the top of the sniperplate is required though and top of the shins would be recomended to leave atleast a few mm. If you’re using the brackets then the torso pieces would need to have them, also leaving them on those areas helps in keeping the armor from overlapping. In general the suits looks better leaving a few mm. With that said there are exceptions such as the wrist ends of the forearms, inner elbow, lower bicep, inner thighs, cod area and lower posterior plate that benefits from having the majority removed. Apart from wrist and inner elbow were all can be removed from the get-go I would suggest to keep some in the other areas and trim more if needed. Going over the EIB/Centurion applications is great even though not going for those levels as is shows good examples on how the armor should look and fit on a person. If you posted some pictures of your current state it would help us help you

Hey Dan Sorry to hijack but this photo makes it look like "he" has mascara or had a very bad night sleep

I´m of the opinion that as it´s there might as well use it. A male snap of silver color is what´s needed, brand won´t matter

Pinned and moved

Just to clarify: No return edge at the wrist ends of the forearms is a Centurion requirement only. With that said, it´s always a good idea to remove it for comfort and fit.

I would start with abs paste and level it out and see how it looks, maybe do some additional trimming. Not required, just for looks. I would find shorter ones or cut them down. I bought some acorn nuts but never got round to make the swap. Yeah it’s an absolute tragedy....no harm in asking though, interaction with others when life is difficult is never a bad thing. Well, obviously depends on the type of interaction but a polite question would be fine.

CRL states for Centurion that stitching shall be present between the ribs of the rib-nit fabric so in it’s present form it would not pass. Nothing prevents you from adding the stitching though

Correct, would have said otherwise. Belt height is a Centurion requirement. Here´s some examples on how to trim. Photo please Never had an issue with it, what does your screws look like? You can buy a finished one, Imperial warfighters (FB) have a great rubber E-11.

Great post Dan

TMs (troopermaster) abs is a very close match to Anovos, you find him here or on FB

Looking good Some small observations apart from your own. You should lift the belt a smidgen. You could consider trim the right thigh/coverstrips so it´s more level at the top. You could consider filling the gaps with some abs paste, or, with what I belive they did for the Movie-suits, white steelmax glue. Almost there

Best of luck

Awesome! Congratulations Trooper - welcome to the Legion and the Nordic Garrison

Hi Theresa and welcome to FISD, to answer your questions - yes and that´s infact what most Troopers do

I would be interested further down the line, currently doing a Boba-build and armor-funds are low at the moment so I`ll get back to you on that, great to hear it´s a possibility - thanks

Hi again Simon and thank you for your EIB application. (For those looking at this review for their own future application please be aware that this review is made in appliance to the previous CRL, meaning that there are elements in this review that are suggestions that will be manadatory for those beeing reviewed according to the current CRL as per regulations stipulated for when the changes would take affect, you can read about it in this NL https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/47339-june-fisd-newsletter-2019/) In this review I will ensure that your armor follows the requirements set out in the CRL L2 Expert Infantry Badge and also point out what I can to prepare you for Centurion, should you choose to apply. I hope you do! Let´s get started shall we! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted and I am very pleased to announce your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry. On behalf of myself and the entire D.O.Team, Congratulations! 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. As we navigate through this review we are going to start from the top and work our way down. We start with the helmet and although there are examples of brows in different positions we feel that the intended look is what´s seen below - a clear gap with the brow trim neatly installed. You have a nice looking gap but the trim itself is a bit wavy so we suggest you poke it in place. Next up we have the ears and as seen below on most Stunt helmets the ears had more of an angle to them. Yours are pretty close but could still be moved just a touch, so if you feel up to it we feel it would add even more to that ANH-feeling, another thing to consider would be to trim the ears a bit thinner. Moving on, we have the tube stripes and it´s another of those small details to consider for an uber ANH-look and as seen below the last/most forward stripe usually has a lean forward. An easy fix by simply add an extra stripe with a little lean to it. The mic tips are nice and white on the inside but could use some wear on the rims as seen below and if your hovis are "unpainted" resin you can just scuff them up. Turning our attention to the shoulder bridges they seem a bit long and a quick and easy fix would be to snip them off a bit shorter as seen in the reference image below. Just something to consider. Looking at your arms we noticed there´s a good amount of return edge and we suggest to remove all of it on the inside part as indicated by the blue lines. Original armor had very minimal if any return edge and that would make it a bit more comfortable as well. Looking at the belt we suggest you give it a shave ones in a while to stay sharp on patrols. Your TD is looking good but if you want all out accuracy the clips were butted up to the control panel and the ends had little bends on them as seen in the reference images below. The posterior plate seem to have gone Rogue on you so here we advise you to thighten the strapping. It also appears that the thighs might be a culprit in pushing on the plate, lowering them or trimming is what we suggest if that´s the case. Last on our suggestion list is also a comfort thing by removing some more return edge on the lower cod. We will also just finish off by mentioning that we saw other areas that would benefit some light sanding to keep you more comfortable when wearing the suit. Overall you did a very fine build and we just want you to enjoy it as much as possible - hey! who are we kidding! It´s s Stromtrooper suit, it will be enjoyable even if there were barb wire for the edges...sorry, got a little carried away there - as you were Trooper Let´s move on to the next step! Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. 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. Below you will find areas that will need to be adressed for a future succesfull Centurion Application. As per L3 there should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest and back plate so we need you to close that gap some more and based on your build thread this seem to be a simple dressing issue and if not there´s still some lower return edge at the bells that can be trimmed. The sides should be together nice and thight and some tighter strapping should have this sorted. Last item on your road to Centurion would be to lift the belt and going by your build thread ones again you had the belt position down to point so this most certainly is a dressing matter. And that´s it - just some small tweeks to do so we expect that Centurion application momentarily During that breef transition time - head on out as a proud Expert Infantry man for the Empire

Hey Paul, just curious if you´re still doing the 1mm?

No, keep them in proximity of what´s seen below and you´re good

No they broke too, here´s an example of a posterior plate come loose and a snapped sniper knee.

What material used for the strap is up to you, for EIB (and higher) the posterior plate has two male snaps visible and the cod has one split/single cap rivet

Great to hear Ardeshir You are correct about helmet and holster set-up and yes, bubble lenses can be smoke or green

Perhaps the *angle
