  1. Here a couple of references. to me it looks more flush,
  2. Awesome Grand Moff !!
  3. Hi Chris, thank you for your EIB application. It has been added to the processing line. Meanwhile could you please add the following photos ? 1- Front of the sniper knee. 2- Inside photo of the thigh ammo pack rivets CRL: The rivets used shall be single cap, double cap or split rivets. No pop rivets allowed. Something like this both sides
  4. Hi Ben, According to the screen references, it should be ok to the red line. If you're planing to take it off and reglue it into the pointed position, I would suggest to post a photo here first. Reference Images
  5. Hi Ardeshir, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Starting from top, your neck seal looks great and it has the requested number of ribs . As we are referring to the TLJ accuracy , ideally the zipper should be in the front section. Reference Images We have and easy dressing adjustment to look the very best on your armor, and is that your shoulder bells looks riding a little over the shoulders line and looking at the back section they could be turned a bit to cover a bit more the gasket. The biceps could be a little higher as you can see in the reference images. I know you can deal with this in a great manner due to your TFA ( you told it's the same) looks is in great shape. Reference Images Reference Images Looking at your forearms, they looks more like Finn's on EP VII TFA. This is just a suggestion for you to take in consideration. Finn's TLJ TLJE Moving down, we noted that your butt plate could be trimmed a little more straight lines to get that TLJ look, also, your left thigh is overlapping your butt plate a little so you may want to lower it down and by the way avoid some armor bite. Reference Images Another small detail noted is the shorts are bunching up around the cod piece. Not a big deal but you may want to consider it. Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. Lets start from the TD. Even though your TD mount and TD plate shows a thin line and it's not specifically mentioned in the CRLs (not yet) they must be clearly 2 separate components. Reference Images And That's all Ardeshir. Welcome to your #7 EIB , and we'll be waiting for your Centurion app soon !!
  6. Congratulations Trooper!!! Welcome to the ranks. Looking forward for your Centurion app.
  7. Congratulations for your BBB Day Mark. Take a look to this helpful index and let us know how we can help you. Remember MEASURE TWICE, CUT AND GLUE ONCE !! Ask every question you have , post tons of photos and when in doubt, ask and post photos prior to proceed to receive some tips and feedback. We are here to help.
  8. Welcome to the Legion and FISD Trooper !!! You may want to our Advanced Tactics Program (Expert Infantry and Centurion).
  9. Welcome to the ranks Trooper !!! . Enjoy being a "Bad Guy Doing Good"
  10. Hi Tarkan , thank you for your patience and for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly; In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armour. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/ additional reference images) when reviewing/approving submissions. Not all items may be specifically listed in the CRLs but may be required for higher levels. Let start from top Your helmet looks to be riding a little high, for more accuracy, this is not mandatory but you may want to check if you can take out some padding from the top to lower it down a bit. Reference Images Although there was variation in brow height seeing in screen, the ESB troopers tended to have a bit of white showing under the brow, so we're suggesting you raise it a bit to improve your ESB look. Reference Images The brow trim, would be more screen accurate if you trim it a bit (do it little by little so as not to cut too much). Reference Images Moving on your ears. You have 2 ear bumps on one side and 3 on the other. Of course there were disparities on at least one bucket in the film, but most had 3 on each side as seen below. We are asking you add one more stripe there to even them out. Easy fix Right Side Left Side Reference Images Ideally , the ear screws should go aligned with the rear edge of the Traps. It is mentioned for your consideration as it is not the easiest fix. Reference Images Next, This looks like a simple strapping adjustment, we suggest to raise a bit the biceps and lower down the forearms to allow the hand plates to positioning correctly and have more confort when carrying your blaster. Reference Images Looking at your first photo of the Lower armor, It looks like once you made the adjustments to reduce the ab/kidney gaps by tightening them up, it has made your posterior plate jut out quite a bit and it is no longer aligned with the kidney. Tightening up the strapping at that connection may help. Not a deal breaker for L3, but we'd really like to see it closer. First Photo Updated Photo Reference Images A suggested and practical solution is to add a c0uple of "V tabs" made from ABS .With a heat gun you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. Another improvement we suggest is that your ab snap is placed too far inwards. In order to fix this, you could drill out the snap, set a new one in the proper location, then fill the old hole with ABS paste. It's a bit tedious but many troopers have done similar fixes and if done correctly, it's totally invisible. Reference Images Finally in this section, just a dressing issue here. When putting on your calves take care of the back closure alignment. Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. CRL L3: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. Your Left side looks perfect , but the right one needs a strapping adjustment (shortening) to match and even the other shoulder. Reference Images CRL: If rubber gloves are worn the hand plates will be affixed via an elastic strap over the palm. No stitching/holes are permitted. If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates have the correct visible stitching pattern using black cotton, with a five-point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, and needs to be double stitched at each point. Yours looks to be satin type gloves but the hand plates are affixed by an elastic strap and no stitched to them. As per the CRL you will need to make the necessary change for one of the two options, rubber gloves with strap or satin ones with stitching Reference Images Reference images Another detail brother is that your Hand Guards are positioned too high ,attached to the end of forearm . They will need to be separated in order to be lowered to the correct position. As you can see in the reference images the curve of the the end should sit over the knuckles. Reference Images Crl L3: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels.Your ABS belt is riding a little low, and needs to sit "...just above the bottom of the ... ab button panels". Adding some Velcro behind it and an the bottom of the ab-plate should correct make the trick. Easy fix. Reference Images CRL L3: The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. A suggested solution could be trimming the edges of the plastic ammo belt a little. Reference Images CRL L3 : Three rivets, approximately 5/16"(8mm) diameter, are present on the left side of the abdomen armor. Yours are present, but the positioning is off compared to the screen-used suits. This is one of those instances where we do rely on visual reference rather than just the text of the CRL. You'd need to remove the rivets, drill new holes, and fill the old ones. A fair bit of work, but it can definitely be done and we are confident you can do it. You should also touch up the white paint of the upper rivets. Reference Images Moving on your Thermal Detonator , the buttons panel is running a little high and the washer style detail should be facing a little to the front and no to top. Rotating the TD backwards a bit could do the trick. Reference Images Looking at your thighs back, You have a small gap in the ridges. As a suggested and common fix, you can glue a small square of ABS in, and fill with ABS paste. Reference Images CRL: Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. Finally Trooper, we have the sniper knee. The ridges on the top do not align with the ridges on the top of the shin as required for level 2. This is a common issue we see. it doesn't need to be perfect, but it needs to be a lot closer for Centurion. If you need help, please contact any of us on the DO staff, we are here to help you. Reference Images That's all Trooper. Even though it could be a lot of work ahead, all can be done in a great manner and remember you can contact the entire D.O. TEAM for any help Again, welcome to EIB and looking forward for your Centurion submission.
