  1. Awesome Jim !! I'll be with you shortly sir.
  2. great photos !!
  3. Hi James , welcome to FISD, My personal opinion , looking some screen photos, would be that it's a Workwear pants and clothes. but just my thoughts . Have you looked at the Armored Cavalry Detachment ? I think they could give better advices from the very experts. Good luck with your project. https://www.amazon.com/WenVen-Collar-Canvas-Cotton-Military/dp/B072PWJ5R9/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=work%2Bjacket%2Bfor%2Bmen&qid=1614959243&sr=8-26&th=1
  4. Welcome to EIB Trooper!! And looking forward to see your Centurion submission soon
  5. Great news Erick, looking forward for your Centurion App. As Glen pointed, take a look to your EIB for update.
  6. Hi Jim, Thank you for your patience Trooper. You have made a great improvement with your armor fixes, it looks much better. As you may know, Centurion Level is all about details and after discussing with the D.O. team, sadly there are some details that need to be addressed before we can get the Centurion Badge under your name. let see: The vocoder looks almost perfect, but it is necessary to refine some areas, indicated in yellow . This is an easy fix with a short painting session. Reference images As you can see. your neck seal rides passing the shoulder straps, one possible solution could be to trim it down as shown bellow: When present, Sweep on the sides of the shoulder bells is normally forward not backwards Your right bicep seems to be lower than the left one, looks like a simple strapping adjustment . Reference Images Your right forearm looks like being upside down, curve is at the top . You may want to check both forearms to confirm the correct position. Reference Images Unfortunately you over trimmed the sides of your large ab-button plate. It must have a flat area surrounding it so will need to be fixed or replaced for Level 3. Reference Images A possible fix for this issue could be to add a piece of ABS plastic behind the plate and seal with abs paste and make some sanding. It seems like your back plate is overlapping the kidney armor. Strapping between the chest plate and backplate could be tighter, appears loose in the second image, this would help bring the backplate in and up off of his kidney plate. CRL L3: Back plate shall have no, or minimal overlap of the kidney plate. Reference Images by the other hand, you may want to check out the Ab/Kidney rivets to assure that they're into the correct position. Crl L3: Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. A single visible seam line is present. Three rivets, approximately 5/16"(8mm) diameter, are present on the left side of the abdomen armor. Note: The original rivets used for the TK armor were bifurcated rivets or split rivets. Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. Also, You may want to cut down the shoulder strap rear large tabs , for more accuracy . Reference Images Looking to the right side of your Ab section, Ab plate is overlapping the kidney armor. Adjusting the straping may solve this issue. Moving down to your TD, the clips are sticking out under belt, also the control panel should be rotated to see the O detail, and sit central (or higher) on the belt, it's sitting quite low and too much clip showing at top Reference Images Also with your TD, you may want to check the dimensions, it does appear quite long, the gaps between the panel and end caps differ a bit. Finally, looking at your E11 Blaster , a little weather looks nice, The T-tracks and grips on must not contain any "weathering" (silver color) as the screen used ones . A few shots of black spray paint will fix it. Easy ! Reference Images Following detail is not a L3 blocker but all the D.O. team is curious about the Shoulder Bells additional horizontal straps on the fronts and backs of the shoulder bell interiors you have. We wondered if you could need some help with this particular armor section? . Certainly , it looks like a lot of work ahead but we are confident you can deal skillfully with all of them. Let us know if you need some assistance.
  7. Congratulations Trooper , welcome to EIB
  8. well done Trooper, almost there !
  9. Hi randy, welcome to FISD If it's your first time here, you may want to browse the different Forum sections and if you haven't done yet, you can ask for 501st members access to browse other forum sections.
  10. Looks good. Would like to see Left and right side photo. (consider take the photos from certain distance , 4 to 6 feet and then crop it, to avoid some distortion in the image.
  11. 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 armour. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions. Another Ardeshir's great set of armor !! Well done sir. and let see your EIB review. Starting from your belt, We noticed that your black pouch is a bit angled downwards, could use some stiffening and straightening... easy fix! Reference images Moving on your TD, the right cap should have a secondary edge inside the inner end. This could be accomplish gluing an ABS ring piece , some ABS paste and paint session. Reference images and for more screen accuracy it should have a separation between mount and plate of the TD. Reference images Also in your TD, There's a noticeable gap between your TD and the backplate that you may want to make some adjustment to reduce it. Reference images Just a dressing issue here, we noticed that your right knee plate is a little misaligned, as per the reference images below. Easy to deal with it. Reference Images One detail to give your Blaster a very great look is to add some Texture to your grip and de front handle. One possible solution would be using some Rubber Textured Gun Grips Material Sheet . 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: Forearm wrist box should be separate pieces, affixed to forearms. Forearm top plate is not attached at front of wrists. This is a more challenging fix that would include some trimming, re glue and perhaps some ABS paste and paint job , but you have show us you have great capacity to deal with this kind of mission ! Reference Images Finally Trooper. CRL L3: Gaskets shall be made of rubber. Fabric gaskets are not acceptable. Yours appear to be fabric gaskets, so they will need to be replaced for the next level ones. Reference images  That's all Ardeshir, Congratulations for that great build and fantastic set of photos, welcome to EIB !!
