Thank you all! This is definitely a dream come true! Once things get a little back to normal out in the world, I can't wait to get out there and start trooping!

Ok, so I fixed the gap in my shoulders the best I could (my shoulders are a bit broad) and I also fixed the gap with my drop boxes! Hopefully these new pictures should do the trick.

Ok, so I shifted my drop boxes over and I think they look pretty good now! And I also got rid of the return edge on my on my forearms as well. Hopefully these are acceptable now! Also, here is a close up of my side and I do not believe I can close the gap any more than that. haha

Oops, that was actually an old picture from my EIB! haha I just edited that one. If you look at the other side view pictures my drop boxes are now much more aligned.

Based on my EIB approval, I closed the gap between my back plate and kidney, tried to lessen the gap between my thighs and shins, lessened the gap on my shoulders and back plate, and moved my drop boxes to the side. Regarding the paint on the ab buttons, I do see the requirement is "Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button", but none of the buttons extend beyond the raised button. There is a slight white raise around each button. I hope the detailed ab button picture shows this better. Per EIB request, I raised the right side of my sniper knee to align with the ridges on the shin.

Thank you Sha Sha for reviewing my EIB application and everyone for the kind words! I am definitely going for Centurion and working on my back gap, thigh gap, shoulder gap, and drop boxes. Being a bit taller makes things interesting. haha For the ab buttons, I am a bit confused because I do see the requirement is "Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button", but none of the buttons extend beyond the raised button. There is a slight white raise around each button. Let me know if I'm not understanding something correctly! haha

Ok, so I boiled the knee plate and bent it as best as I could. It looks like it got a bit wonky in the front, but the knee plate seems to be aligned on both sides now?

Ok, I'll give that a try! I've never used a heat gun so I don't want to risk it. Haha Since the center back of the sniper knee plate is welded to the cover strip, should I just dip in the right side of the plate and bend it?

Thank you for your reponse, Sha Sha! How would I generally bend the right side upwards? Would I need a heat gun or a boiling water bath work to bend it into the correct spot?

Hi everyone! So I noticed for Expert Infantry rank, one of the requirements is that "Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white." It looks like I have to still paint the rim white of my hovi mic tips? Any suggestions on what to use? Just a small thing of paint, or maybe whiteout? Or something else? Thank you!

Thanks to all of your help, I am now an official 501st member! Very proud to be TK 90913 and in the Central California Garrison. Couldn't have done it without all of you! Now time for me to work towards Expert Infantry and Centurion! I'm sure I'll have more questions for all of you coming very soon! Haha
