TK-24627 Requesting ANH STUNT EIB Status (Anovos) (1078)
TKSpartan replied to anhsu's topic in Request Expert Infantry Status
Hi Dylan , 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, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Starting from top: Ideally, the ear screws should go aligned with the rear edge of the Traps so we strongly suggest to move them. Reference Images The screws on your TD should go a little closer to the edge of the metal clips for accuracy. There's a little extra glue remanent sticking out of the buttons plate that we're suggesting to clean it up a bit. Reference Images Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 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 are able to clearly 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. Yours are almost perfect sir. Just be sure to close the gap a little more and that your inner black clothes don't stick out in the shoulder bells when taking the Centurion photos, (I'm sure you'll go for it). 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. In looking at the reference images below, Your ABS belt almost covers completely the lower button on the large ab plate, we are asking that you lower it a little to touch the the bottom of the ab-button plate(s). Ideally it should touch (or even overlap a bit) the bottom button(s). Reference Images Centurion Level is the top notch of accuracy, so we try to ask for the best look of your armor. Your large ab plate return edge should be trimmed a little more to match the on screen references . Reference Images L3: Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching. Yours look to be plastic and attached by an elastic band. You will need to replace them with the rubber/silicon like ones and glued directly to the gloves. Reference Images L2: 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. L3: The blaster may have minor weathering or base metal exposure however, T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed. I have checked with the D.O. team and there are still some issues with your blaster that you will need to address for Centurion Level . 1- 3d printing : Some areas are quite segmented, does not have a flowing curve, front sight, silver flash area and bottom of the stock handle. 2- Weathered sections : It looks like the grip and T-tracks appear to show some silver Reference Images Finally, we have another item required for Centurion Level and is that there is no recoil spring in your E11 blaster. This fix should take about 10 minutes. You can check in this post how it can be done (you have to scroll down a bit to see it). Reference Images And that's all Dylan. Welcome to EIB ranks and we are confidence that you're going to go for the next step. Centurion! Congratulations!! Remember to request your EIB Certificate HERE -

Hi Dylan, Great looking Anovos Armor Sir. congrats . I will be doing your review and in order to continue I'll need you to do me a favor. CRL L2 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance. You have a great looking blaster, but unfortunately there are a few printing lines that can be seen in the endcap. This is jus a small detail that I'm sure you can fix in a great manner. -

Hi Ron, 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, and please keep in mind that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Great work with your armor trooper, now let see just some details you may want to take into account to improve the overall look and accuracy sir. Lets start from top: Ideally, the ear screws should go aligned with the rear edge of the Traps so we strongly suggest to move them. Reference Images The paint on your vocoder looks pretty good, but it should be more symmetrical with more definition on the tops of the raised ridges. This is not a higher level requirement but , again, we encourage to make the fix. Reference images This looks just like a dressing issue, your inner black clothes are sticking out in the shoulder bells area. Consider this for every troop you put on your armor. Reference Images Another dressing issue and easy fix to take note. remember to align the calver closures to keep the great look even from behind. Reference Images This is all in the suggestions section *************************************************** Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval. Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 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 are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. CRL L3: Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white. According to the CRL , the upper screws are correct but, you will need to replace the lower ones for "V" head type . Reference Images CRL L3: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. This looks like a simple strapping issue. shortening the shoulder strap and a bit could reduce the gap. Reference Images You did a great job on those fixes, Trooper, but to achieve the best look and finish, a sanding session will be necessary. 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. In looking at the reference images below, we are asking that you raise it a little to at least cover more of the bottom of the ab-button plate(s). Ideally it should touch (or even overlap a bit) the bottom button(s). Reference Images CRL L3: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. This is a common issue and an easy one to fix. As you can see the right one is ok, Moving the left one outward and then applying a dab of E-6000 on the rear of the strap will take care of this and keep it from wandering. Reference Images And that's all Trooper. Welcome to EIB ranks and we are sure your next step will be to the rank of Centurion. Well done. Don't forget to request your EIB certificate HERE and check the EIB Rockers HERE

Hi, Prior to continue with your review, you'll need to make some fix to your E11 Blaster. remove the Ammo counter and power cylinders. According to the CRL for EIB Level , for the required E11 blaster CRL: No ammo counter shall be present. No power cylinders on the magazine housing. Reference Images

hi james, as Glen pointed " It's how much strap is showing, so from top of the holster to bottom of the belt."
