Oh Yes, for Basic your Chelsea boots are ok. I don't think velcros issue to be a problem for approval, but it depends on your GML. Let's see the result. Good Luck mate!!

Congratulations !! looking forward for your advances

Yes!! Cool

Hey Tico !! Don't forget this, It'll be a Centurion Requiremenet. You can use a 5mm. white elastic band CRL: The plastic shoulder straps need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric that connects/bridges the chest and back piece. Reference Images

Welcoe to FISD Jhon, You can post photos Here if you want some advice and tips. Good luck with your project.

Hi Brett, definitely you did a great build with your armor. Looks really good and I'm sure you can achieve the highest levels. This is not a race or Mr. TK competition, It's about personal goals, so don't worry about your pace, we are here to help you to look your best when Trooping, now, or in a week , even months. All of us in the FISD love to be here and the the time we invest here is more valuable when see a Trooper complete his first armor build, solve a problem and achieve a L2 or L3 badge. Your EIB badge is around the corner sir. !!!

Hi Andreas, looks good, easy pass Trooper. Great Work !! I just can see some dressing issues, like : Some velcro closures in the biceps and thighs that you may want to take care for the approval photos Not sure if it's just a light effect but It looks like your boots are more similar to OT TK? Rogue One Boots OTK Boots And if I can give a tip to prevent tour shins from twisting when walk, What I did with my Anh Tk is just to place a Velcro Piece in front of the boot and the Shin internal section like the photos. That made the trick Good luck with your approval Sir.

Hi, In addition to what @Blast 'Em! Shane recommend I would suggest what worked for me. use an additional piece of woor or metal to press the hole cover side to side and let it dry for about 48 hours. Hope this can help.

Hola Fernando. Excelente Trabajo, muchas gracias. Antes de continuar con tu solicitud, es necesario que hagas un pequeño ajuste a tu casco, este es un requisito de nivel básico pero que vemos muy a menudo en EIB. y es la pintura de los "dientes". El CRL indica que no debe salirse del area de estos como puedes ver en la foto de referencia. Es un ajuste rápido y fácil, solamente usas un palillo de dientes con algún removedor de pintura (que no sea Acetona porque se come el plastico) y listo. Before we can start your review there is one item we need you to take care of, please remove a bit of the paint at the top of the teeth as shown below. This is a basic level requirement This is an easy fix, just a few minutes with some mineral spirits or paint remover (non acetone) and a toothpick should do the work. CRL nivel basico : Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. A total of 8 cut outs in the teeth area of the frown are present. Reference Photos Saludos

looking great !!

Hi Kyle, welcome to FISD and Good luck with your build. looking forward for your advances .

Hi ,Jonathan that little guy looks powerful !! I'm attaching a couple of photos that can clarify the challenge with the Ab/Kidney Rivets, remember that it's recommended to have some reference photos when building the armor to have a better idea of how thing keep together. If I can make a suggestion to fix this, I can suggest what I did in a case like this: 1- remove the rivets, Ab and Kidney 2- fill in the holes with ABS paste, (you can glue a small square of abs behind to give support.) Sand and polish to give finish. 3- Measure, mark down and drill new holes (make it first in the AB side) 4- Place the new split rivets (Ab side first) 5- Align Ab to Kidney plate and mark down the new holes to the kidney armor. 6- place the new split rivets in kidney plate. It could sounds intimidating, but I'm sure you have the skills to achieve this. Hope this can help.

Hi Dani, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: Todas la fotos solicitadas han sido aportadas, y en nombre de todo D.O. Team, nos complace darte la bienvenida al rango de Experto de Infantería. Felicitaciones!! 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. *************************************************** Has hecho un excelente trabajo en tu armadura Dani, la primera vez que se construye una armadura, el proceso es algo intimidante , pero a medida avanzas vas tomando confianza. Siempre hay detalles que se nos escapan, así que a continuación te damos sugerencias para que tu armadura se vea mejor Empecemos desde arriba Let's start from top. 1-Las lineas de rango están muy delgadas y la zona gris es un poco mas rectangular, unos cuantos minutos con pintura y pincel y estas listo. The black rank bar paint is very thin on your ear bumps and the gray zone on the left ear bar is a little rounded. This should be a simple fix - just a few minutes paint and brush. Reference Images 2-Las "Cejas" de tu casco , como puedes ver en las fotos de referencia van un poco más cortas, este es un ajuste muy fácil y rápido, nada más ten cuidado de hacerlo poco a poco para no cortar de más. The brow trim of your helmet, as you can see in the reference photos should be a little shorter, this is a very easy and fast adjustment, just be careful to do it little by little so as not to cut too much. Reference Images 3-La pintura del Trap trasero derecho necesita recortarse un poquito para que quede como el izquierdo, que esta perfecto. Fácil arreglo, puedes usar un palillo de dientes y algún removedor de pintura , que NO sea Acetona. The rear right trap paint needs to be removed a little to get the correct shape as the left one. Easy fix! just a toothpick and some paint remover, Non Acetone. Reference Images 4- Tu armadura posterior (Trasero) parece estar a punto de sobreponerse a los muslos, puede ser solamente un asunto de ajuste al ponerte la armadura. Your posterior armor appears to be at a point of overlapping your thighs, it may just be a matter of fit when putting on the armor. 5-El Rivet de la faja de munición de la pierna , conforme a las referencias debería ir más centrado, no es algo que te afecte para nivel Centurión pero se hace notar para tu conocimiento. Your Thigh ammo pack rivet is a little off according to the references, This is not affecting you for level 3 but for a more screen accuracy we notice and let you know it. Reference Images 6-Parece que el cierre de tus pantorrillas está desalineado, esto puede ser simplemente un ajuste cuando te pones la armadura , es cuestión de ponerle atención para futuros trooping y fotos This looks just like a dressing issue, your claves closure looks misaligned a bit, check this out next time you put on your armor for future trooping and photos. Reference Images 7-Continuamos, en tu Sniper Knee, para tener un mejor look , recomendamos recortar el borde derecho para que esté alineado con el borde interior, muy fácil ! Going ahead, your Sniper Knee needs, for more accuracy look , we recommend a little trimming to the return edge. so easy! 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. En esta sección vamos a ver qué te hace falta para aplicar para nivel Centurión, que si bien es cierto es más riguroso, estamos seguros que puedes alcanzarlo, recuerda que en el FISD estamos para ayudarte a lograrlo. In this section, we are going to see what you need to apply for the Centurion level, although it is more rigorous, we are sure that you can achieve it, remember that in FISD we are here to help you achieve it. Let's start: 1-CR: Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white. El tornillo del lado inferior derecho está un poco salido y en angulo, alinearlo un poco y un par de vueltas con el destornillador solucionan ese punto. The ear screw on the lower right side is slightly out and at an angle, some re-alignment and a couple of turns with the screwdriver solve that point. Reference Images 2-CRL: No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. El extremo de tu antebrazo derecho parece ideal, el área de "elevada" en la muñeca izquierda parece necesitar que se quite el borde , dale una revisada. Although the one on his right looks ideal, the "hump" area on the left wrist appears to need the return edge removed, Reference Images 3-CRL: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. Para nivel Centurion, no debe haber espacio entre las campanas de los hombros y la armadura de pecho, en tu caso parece que es cuestión de acortar los elásticos de la conexión entre estos For Centurion level, there should be no space between the shoulder bells and the chest armor, in your case it seems that it is a matter of shortening the elastics of the connection between these Reference Images Reference Images 4-CRL: The plastic shoulder straps need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric that connects/bridges the chest and back piece. Quizás sea efecto de la luz o la distancia pero parece ser que no tienes la tira elástica que conecta los puentes de los hombros con la tira de tela que conecta la armadura del pecho con la espalda. Puedes usar una tira elástica blanca de 5 mm. Perhaps it is the effect of light or distance but it seems that you do not have the elastic strap that connects the shoulder bridges with the fabric strap that connects the chest armor with the back. You can use a 5mm. white elastic strip. Reference Images 5-CRL: Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. Los Rivets del costado izquierdo deben estar espaciados tomando en cuenta aprox. 20mm desde el borde superior de la placa abdominal como ves en la imagen de referencia. Este punto parece el más complicado , pero por experiencia te aseguro que se puede hacer. Tendrías que remover los Rivets superiores en ambas placas , rellenar los orificios con pasta ABS, lijar bien y hacer los nuevos a la distancia correcta. de la misma forma, en el FISD podemos ayudarte. The Ab/Kidney rivets must be spaced taking into account approx. 20mm from the upper edge of the abdominal plate as you see in the reference image. This point seems the most difficult , but from my own experience I assure you that it can be done. You would have to remove the upper Rivets on both plates, fill the holes with ABS paste, sand well and make the new ones at the correct distance. As I told you before, we are here to help you. Reference Images 6-CRL: The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels Tu cinturón debe subir un poquito para estar perfecto, un truco muy utilizado es poner un par de piezas de velcro detrás y de esta forma evitar que se baje al frente. Your belt needs to go up a little to be perfectly, a widely used trick is to place a couple of small strips of Velcro behind belt to ensure it doesn't sag in the front Reference Images 7-Tu Detonador Térmico está un poco arriba del cinturón y para verte mucho mejor debe ir alineado con este . Probablemente sea solo revisar el ajuste en los ganchos y bajarlo hasta nivel del cinturón y listo. Your TD is riding quite high a little over the belt, for a better look it should be in line with it. It could be just a dressing issue, just check the metal clips adjustment or try pushing it down farther on to the belt. Reference Images 8- Finalmente, un detalle en tu Blaster E11. El Contador de munición Hengstler está colocado muy atrás, hey que moverlo un poco. En algunos casos basta con despegar y volver a colocar en la posición correcta, verifica si en tu caso es factible. The Hengstler counter on his E-11 is sitting way too far back and needs to be moved up. In some cases it is enough to take off and re-position the screws that attach it to the scope rail to get it into in the correct position, check if it is feasible in your case. Reference Photos Eso es todo , aunque parece mucho trabajo, confiamos en que puedes hacer los cambios y alcanzar el siguiente nivel .Centurion. De nuevo, FELICITACIONES TROOPER !! That's all,, Although it seems like a lot of work, we are confident that you can make the changes and reach the next level. Centurion. Again, Congratulations Trooper !!

Great, I did the same with mine.

Hey Caleb, great to read you're applying so soon!! I if I can give a tip, I would like to recommend you to take a quick view in some of the approved EIB applications so you can see the required photos and the most common adjustment requested. This can make you review to go fast. Cheers

Great Caleb !!! Congratulations.

Hola Dani, Estamos casi listos con tu solicitud, pero hemos notado un pequeño detalle en tu armadura : el crl indica para nivle 2 que : "Cualquier espacio entre el abdomen y la armadura lumbar no tiene más de 1/2 "(12.5 mm) de ancho" En tu caso , en la parte superior no hay problema, parece un problema de ajuste en el elástico de la parte inferior. recorta el elástico para que se elimine ese espacio y agrega un par de fotos de esa zona nuevamente . Muchas gracias . We are almost ready with your request, but we have noticed a small detail in your armor: the crl indicates for level 2 that: Any gap between the abdomen and kidney armor is no more than 1/2" (12.5mm) wide In your case, at the top there is no problem, it seems a problem of adjustment in the elastic of the bottom. trim the elastic to eliminate that space and add a couple of photos again. Thank you so much . Reference Images

Yes Laura, It's just right !

Those biceps looks great !!

Pura Vida Caleb!!! You got this Mate, see you in EIB and Centurion soon!!!!

Amazing Trooper, Great to read you're going for high levels. Good luck and you can open a building thread for your son's build and your EIB advances. Cheers.

Hi Luke, For E11 Blaster reference you may want to look this Thread I use a Praetorian Blasters Rubber E11 , and have moded a Hasbro E11 with the Doopy Doos conversion resina Kit and have seen some videos in You Tube about Doopy Doos E11 kit. In my opinion: Rubber Blaster is better for Trooping , it resist falls and shocks, while the resin, although it looks strong, can suffer fractures when falling or hitting. Obviously the cost is a big difference between both. I have read some trooper to have both, but it's your choice. Hope this can help.

Hi Emma, don't feel that bad, usually armor building is full of challenges , bad measures, wrong cut, battle wounds , but I can asure you. your're learning a lot, and all this knowledge will let you help others in their builds and you'll encourage new troopers around you. And there's always ABS pieces to reinforce and ABS paste to fill the gaps. Keep on advancing, there's no way back Trooper!! "Retreat, hell! We just got here."

Estoy en revisión , Ya casi Trooper !!! I review now, almost there Trooper!!
