  1. Hi Emiliy, You may want to lower a bit the ear and get it a little back, as you can see in the reference pic the ear's screws are aligned with the traps. Here is a Hero Helmet Note that the right ear aligns a little bit different from left one with the trap cheers,

  8. Hi Trooper, great improvements Trooper. I would suggest to consider in advance for higher levels to make some adjustment to your belt as the Crl states for level 3 : Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. 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 of the alignment of the belt and canvas. Note that the drop boxes are behind just for the picture, they must go aligned under the plastic tabs of the ammo belt with minimal or no gap as suggested. . Keep on being safe and doing a great job.
  9. Hi, just a suggestion : i would recommend to use some Soldering Iron to cauterize the strap's edge to prevent fraying Keep on doing an excellent work trooper!!
  10. Hi, I'm not and Helmet expert, but by my short experience, (I have built 4 ANH helmets only) , once I get the correct face-cap alignment, I used magnets and clamps, make the holes and place the rivets to affix this main two pieces and start to align the ears using photos and trim little by little the zone where there is too much gap. remember, they're no perfect fit. take a look to the following hero helmet photos. Another suggestion is to try to take the helmet photos showing it complete from at least one meter of distance and a crop the picture to have a closer view and a correct perspective, this is so helpful for us to have a better idea of your progress. Hope this can help. cheers

  15. Hi Mister, great to see your EIB application. I would like to suggest to add some more photos that I'm sure the D.O team will ask you to add. As per the Crl States for level 2 1- Close photo of the Chest to back connection to see the white fabric or elasctic. Chest and back shall be connected with a white fabric or preferably elastic strap at the shoulders. 2- Close Photo of the Both sides of thigh ammo pack external and internal to see the proper rivets. Thigh ammo belt is attached to thigh with a solid head rivet, painted white, in the upper corner and fastened to the lower thigh ridge. The rivets used shall be single cap, double cap or split rivets. No pop rivets allowed. Rivet should be approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter (exterior). Additional, I would suggest you to make the following changes according to the CRL level 2 EIB 1- Add some White paint to the hovi tips rim as the reference photo Correct 'Hovi mic' aerator tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white. 2- Remove the white paint from the Cod rivet A split (bifurcated) or single cap rivet is present on the lower tab (cod area) of the abdomen armor. Rivet does not need to be functional. Rivet on must be brass or silver in color, approximately 5/16" (8mm) in diameter and is not painted. Any additional photo or requirements will be asked by the D.O. Good luck with your application Trooper !!!
