Hi Gary, 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 the top, it looks like your helmet is too high. You may be able to remove some padding, especially from the upper area so that the helmet can be lowered. And remember:, the CRL recommends the following:" Mesh may be used behind the frown to obscure the face of the wearer". In the photo where you show the green lenses on the helmet, we can see that you are not wearing it. We recommend you to put it on to preserve the anonymity that makes children especially, let their imagination fly when thinking about who is inside the helmet. Reference images -L3.Ideally, placement of ears (and screws) should closely follow the rear angle of the trap above them. As we have commented on other occasions, and they are not too "deviated", we add it as a recommendation. Reference images Your shoulder straps are slightly raised.Perhaps by tightening the white elastic a little, you can make them sit on the armor. Reference images The TD is a little high. It should be about the same height as the canvas belt. Reference images The counter on your Blaster seems to be a little backwards. It's not much, so we'll leave it as a recommendation. It already depends on the level of accuracy you like. 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. The left side of your chest armor protrudes too far outward. In addition, it can be somewhat uncomfortable in your movements. Perhaps tightening the straps that connect the chest and abdomen a bit will solve the problem. Otherwise, a hot water bath of that area may be necessary, or use a hot air pistol (I do not recommend it if you have not used one before , as the armor could be "deformed"). Reference images The rivets of the kidney plate are too far from their ideal position. They should be removed, new holes drilled and the old holes covered with abs paste. It looks more complicated than it really is. If you need help, we are here to help you. Reference images -L3. 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. Perhaps trimming the edge a little will be enough. If not, it might be necessary to move the square buttons to trim a little more. Reference image -L3. Lower thigh ridge joins (front and rear) shall butt-up flush against each other. Any gaps must be backed with ABS or filled as not to be noticeable. It's very little. You will easily solve it with a little ABS paste, sugru or similar. Reference images -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. It may be the photo, but there appears to be some weathering on the grip and T-tracks. A coat of matte black paint and that's it. Reference image Nothing more to add. Just a couple of small adjustments and your armor will be ready to receive its Centurion badge. Congratulations!!!

Hello!!! Welcome aboard, Brandon.

Hello!!! Take a look at the link posted by Glen. To post all the photos, you need a free image host(like imgur).

That's right...You can use a small file to remove the plastic little by little....

Hi Scott. I also think it will be necessary to fix the teeth area...

Hi Gary. I am working on your request.. Thanks for your patience. Could you please add a side picture of the 6 rivets (left side)? Something like this: Thanks!!!

Hi Kyle. I agree with you. Trim little by little. Patience is very important. Reference images

Take a look at this video https://youtu.be/Saqc67Fkvnk Or to this thread(all, do's and don'ts): https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48337-mvs-anh-tk-stunt-ata-1st-build-thread-for-centurion/?do=findComment&comment=718637

Hi Chris. Remember: -L3. Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button. keep up the good work!

Welcome to FISD, Gary

Well, I'm not a big fan of the ABS paste ...I like to use Sugru (for areas that don't need much resistance), or a bicomponent moldable putty(white) for areas with more "stress". The sanding job and the final finish is much "smoother". Oh, and it's much better to wear the undersuit when you fix the armor parts, it will help you to have a better impression of how everything will fit. Keep up the good work Kyle!

Hi Dave, 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. Let's start with the helmet. Your helmet seems to be a little high. You could remove some padding from the top to lower it a bit. Reference images The brow trim, you could cut it a little for more screen accuracy(do it little by little so you don't trim too much). Reference images Ideally, the ear screws should be aligned with the rear edge of the Traps. It's not much, so we leave it as a suggestion. Reference images Your forearms overlap the handguards. We recommend you to raise your biceps a little bit so that you can raise your forearms a little bit too, so that they are in line with the handguards. Reference image One of the holster loops is at an angle. Easy fix. Reference image It seems that your back plate is sticking out a bit and is not aligned with the kidney. Maybe you can use the famous "v tabs" to fix it. Reference images It looks like the Thigh ammo belt has moved, as in other photos you have it "higher". A drop of glue will fix it Reference images Your right thigh seems a little low. You can shorten the strap a little to match the other. Reference images Just a dressing issue here. When putting on the calves watch the alignment of the back closure. 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. L3- If silk or satin gloves are worn, the hand plates have the correct visible stitching with a 5 point/star pattern, equally spread out with 2 on each side and 1 in the middle front, double stitched with 2 holes at each point and sewn to the glove at each one using black thread. Yours looks to be satin type gloves but the hand plates are affixed with an elastic strap and no stitched to them. We think that it is necessary to sew them to the glove. Reference images L3- Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. An adjustment in the straps will do the trick. Reference images 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. This seam is totally fine for the EIB, but for Centurion, it has to be seamless. You can use abs paste, or some two-component putty to fill the joint. Then you should sand it and paint it. It looks complicated, but it’s not. Reference images L3- The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. The easiest solution is to add some Velcro behind the belt to raise it up a bit. Reference images L3 -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. You can trim the edges of the plastic ammo belt a bit to adjust it to those 45 degrees. Reference images L3- Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Many of us add a drop of glue to the elastic holding the drop boxes on to keep them from wandering. Reference image Looking at the back of your thighs, you have a small gap in the ridges. you can glue a small square of ABS plastic and fill with ABS paste, sugru or something similar. Reference images -As for the blaster, it may be the photo, but we think it has a too "shiny" finish. To give it a more similar look to what you see on screen, we recommend giving it a layer of matte paint. That's all, Dave. A few small fixes and that’s it! I look forward to seeing your application for Centurion soon. Congratulations!

Hello again, Luciana. Honestly, I don't think those boots are ok either. It is better to wait a little and spend the money on ones that are ok. You can take a look at this link(421 Classic WHITE- STORE IS OPEN Next Wave 04/01): https://keeptrooping.com/ I'm sure someone will advise you on where to find valid boots.

Hello Luciana. Unfortunately, those boots would not be valid. L1- Flat sole with a short heel.

Hello Jonathan, congrats on your BBB Day. You may find this thread helpful. And this thread is the Library of Alexandria
