Hi Paul, and THANKS for your submission for ANH Stunt EI! 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. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the EXCELLENT job you did with this RS kit. As you will see below, these are all small details, which will not be a problem on your way to CENTURION. Starting from the helmet, for L3 the CRL states that: -Ideally, placement of ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the trap above them As can be seen, the left side is perfect, and the right side could be improved by rotating the ear a little bit...It is very little, and that is why we add it as a recommendation. We will only ask for it as a requirement for L3 if the ears are in an "ugly" position. Reference images -As seen in the reference image, we suggest you trim down the ends of the brow trim. Easy fix. Reference images -The posterior tab is pointing down which causes the snaps to show. Maybe you just forgot to connect the posterior snap to the cod. If you look at some other RS builds this can(should) be addressed. If the strap is indeed connected, you may have to trim a bit off of the return edges on the sides of the tab (second photo) to achieve this. Reference image Other RS builds -We recommend trimming the edge on both sides of the sniper knee. As you can see in the reference images, they were a little more "angled" and aligned with the "bottom edge"(and looks more screen-accurate). Reference images -The Rivet of the thigh ammunition belt could be a little more to the front, as shown the reference images. 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. Not much to say here... -L3.Ear bars shall have only one bump painted in black (rank stripes). It seems that the light, when taking the photo, makes some strange effects. However, we can clearly see that the rank stripes are missing. . An easy paint job, Paul. Reference images -We believe that although it is very little, the gap could be reduced to zero in this area. Just adjust the shoulder elastic a little and it will be perfect! In addition, the undersuit seems to show through the bells area. It may be a dressing issue, or maybe you need a size down. Reference image -L3. No return edge on the inside of the front of the forearm is allowed. There are a couple of areas where some return edge can be seen. It will be a few seconds with a dremel, very easy!!! Reference image -Again it is very little, but we think you could raise the belt a little to make it 100x100 screen accurate.. I know you are thinking that it is so little that it seems ridiculous to be asked, but we assure you that people pay attention to this detail, and it is almost a sign that differentiates a CENTURION from the rest. You know, the Centurion level, it's all about the details. Reference images -We see a little gap in those joints. We are sure that if you tighten that belt a little more, it will be perfect. Reference images -The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt. A small adjustment on the right side of the belt. Just trim a mm(or less) so that that bottom corner is just in line with the canvas belt. Reference images -There are some areas of the belt that need to go to the barbershop. Reference images -It looks like your calves are too tight, causing the ridges to overlap. Try "opening" the calves a little. If then, they are too loose, you can put a little foam inside, and thus avoid having to cut them. Reference images -Without any doubt you have one of the best blasters that can be seen around here(only the one built by Joseph for the auction beats it). However, although in some counters the brass could be seen, in this one it does not look like weathering. It is a perfect square. You may be able to paint it black and then rub a little before it dries completely, and thus give it the " weathered " look. Reference images That's all Paul. We would like to see your application for Centurion soon. We are sure that with the skills you have shown in assembling this RS kit, these small fixes will not be a problem for you.... Don't forget to request your Certificate HERE...

Congratulations Steve!!!

Hi Paul. Your armor looks great. Congratulations. However, one thing we need you to correct before moving along, is the position of the TD plate, since for basic level, the CRL states that "The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap." Reference images We also need the following pics( added some examples): -Cod and posterior plate connections showing rivet/snaps (exterior) -Wrist openings (close-up). -Interior strapping - "Han" snap -Ammo pack rivet close up(interior) -Boots (showing tops and sides) Thanks Paul

Hi Zaan , welcome to FISD. I love that armor...It's a pleasure to see it shining...

Wow!!!

Hello!!! Welcome to FISD

Hi Matt, welcome to FISD

Hello @justjoseph63. I think that helmet is from a hot toys (sideshow collectibles) figure, specifically for a 2009 comic-con exclusive figure. I found on Facebook someone who makes these interiors. You can take an eye on it, and see if it's what you're looking for. I will pass the info to you privately, and if you consider it is valid and can be shared with all members, you can post it here later.

Of course. As Glen says ,yes you can still ask questions and continue your build here!

Hi Steve. As Caleb rightly says, at the end of the day, your local GML (Garrison Membership Liaison) will be the one to give final basic approval. However, the DO team, are now discussing this "internally", and will be able to give you some feedback shortly.. Thank you for your patience!

Congratulations #519
