    Hi Tropers!!   How are all fitness going out there? 

     

    Last Night , sad to say, :shok: I realized that may armor doesn't fit as good as I would like . SO, I'll need to start doing more cardio and reduce my calories intake . :popcorn:

    What is the DO team? And how would I get in touch with them? Thank you 

     

     

    Hi, The Deployment Officers Team (DO) are in charge of  reviewing and processing EIB and Centurion submissions in accordance with CRL requirements and  official reference images.

     

    You can take a read about the Advanced Programs bellow and you can contact directly by PM to @TKSpartan  @Chemi  @Doggydoc  or @Deployment Officer Team for any inquiry about it.

    More biceps!

     

    I am starting to worry that since I have so many questions about what is the simplest part of the armor, it’s going to get worse going forward! :blink:

     

    Still working on the fitting, following others’ suggestions to get the return edges down. Following @gmrhodes13's excellent suggestion of using a Dremel (at lowest RPM, wearing PPE) to work down the edges, I got them down some more, and sanded everything. I’m sure some of you will say that I should get them down even more, but I’m still chicken about this.

    I sized the halves to my arm as best I could, but I’m really confused about why there are ridges near the abutting edges. Other vids and threads I’ve looked at do not seem to have this. What I’ve got right now is ridges quite far apart from each other, where a 15mm-wide cover strip comes nowhere close to covering them. First picture shows how far apart these ridges are after sizing. Black China marker is the centerline where I’d want to cut each half:

    This pic shows that distance compared to the width of a 15mm cover strip:

    So the strip seems way too narrow. What is up with those ridges? What might I be doing wrong? I don't think that completely removing the return edges would make up for this much margin.
     

     

     

     

    You should trim from the ridge 7,5 mm each side. This will reduce the bicep. Make it with one side, test with your arm . 

    It's strongly recommended to use the inner clack compression clothes so you can have a better fit.

    But I would rather slim it down to fit me better.

     

    My current plan is to slice off the rear cover strips and the meat underneath, close up the gaps and reapply the cover strips.

     

     

    That's exactly what I would do and suggest.  

     

    Btw, nice looking Hero armor . :jc_doublethumbup: remains me Luke in armor.

    I am thinking that I should cut 5mm off the tube, resand and retape. I must have mismeasured and gone over the 7-½” overall length requirement. Or should I leave it? Opinions?

     

    IMO 5mm is not a big deal and not noticeable.  Unless you're a perfectionist and won't sleep knowing that there are 5mm extra there (lol). :salute:

  20. TK-21921 Requesting ANH STUNT EIB Status (WTF) (1073)

    in Request Expert Infantry Status

    Posted

    Hi Kevin, sorry for delaying. Your EIB submission has been added to the processing line.

     

    You did a nice work building your armor and your 3d blaster as well .

    In order to start your EIB review we'll need you to make some fixes ,  most of then are about your helmet as Glen noted before .

     

    1. The Rear traps and tears : You will need to add some more vertical black lines and some of then need to go a little thicker as the references.

     

     

    CfztHCs.jpg          0SQyzcY.jpg?1

     

                                                                                                                                     Reference

                      TXcCO8s.jpg                                         pHM1ejB.jpg?1            

     

     

    2. Frown Paint:  Just a toothpick with some Non Acetone paint thinner would do the work to refine the teeth cut.

    3.  Hovi tips :  You will need to change the mesh to a more accurate one and add some more white paint to the rim.

     

     CRL L2:  Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white.

     

                                                                                                                                     References

    One method I used to change the hovi tips was :

    Using a wide mesh strainer, marker's top cover and some white paint.

    8tGWpve.jpg?1

     

     

     

    4. Tube Strips. Yours are a little far from the pencil width position from the side of the cheek and will need to be relocated.

    5. The vocoder paint detail.  Another painting session will be needed to refine the lines as the references.

     

                                                                                                                                                               References

    LhqnHVc.jpg                  9ZBQOLM.jpg?3      IMNaNgw.jpg?2

     

     

     

    6. The Thermal detonator.  as the CRL states for Basic "The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear"

     

    Your TD's ribbed pad needs to be relocated to face the rear more so the round washer control can be seen .

     

                                                                                                                                                         References

    And finally Trooper. Your E11 blaster has indeed  a great finish but as the crl states no 3d lines can be seen 

     

    CRL: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance.

     

    It's just a small section that show some 3d lines .  I'm sure you can solve in a great manner.

     

     

    8FmWiQ9.jpg       

     

     

    It looks like a lot of work ahead , but we think you can do it . Let us know if you need some help . 

     

    Looking forward to place that EIB badge under your name Trooper.
