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

Congratulations Greg!

Congratulations!!!

Hi Matt. The armor looks better than you think.... Yes, it has small details to fix, but overall, it looks great. Apart from what you mentioned, I would add a couple of minor details, thinking mostly about the upper levels. -The left forearm is slightly rotated, and the right forearm could be lowered a little to match the left one. Very easy -You could raise the belt a little, and keep an eye on the drop box placement. The top of the ABS ammo belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the central and vertical abdomen button panels. Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. -The TD could be lowered a little more. It looks like the clips were not in place. Also, you could turn it a bit to the front, as for basic, the CRL states the following: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap. Reference image These are small details that are easy to fix. As I said, the armor looks great...Congratulations!

If you have 2 kidneys, you will need to sell one...

Congratulations Joseph, for the final result and for deciding to auction it to raise funds for the JDRF.

Hello Arief and welcome to FISD!!!

Hi Galton, 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. Congratulations Galton. You have a great looking suit of armor. We're just going to add a few things that will make it definitely PERFECT. Let's start with the helmet. - This is a very common issue.. The screws on the ears should ideally align with the rear angle of the trap above them, and the bottom should angle back a little bit more. The right ear could be improved a little. The left ear is perfect. Reference images -Your helmet seems to be riding a little high. Maybe you have too much padding on the top. You could remove a little of that padding. so the helmet will lower a little. Reference images - You could try to get a better arch in your straps with a hot water bath....Doing this would allow them to ride closer to the back plate so they won't protrude out, and put less strain on the elastic strap. You will also prevent them from getting caught on something and breaking. Reference images -One small dressing issue here. The right forearm is a little high than the left. It's very little, but if you lower it you'll avoid the bite in the back. Front Back Reference image -Ideally the screws of the TD should sit closer to the ends of the clips. Reference images -For a better look, we recommend trimming the edge on both sides of the sniper knee, so that it is aligned with the "bottom edge" and looks more screen-accurate. Very easy fix!!! Reference images -Also, some strap, Velcro or similar is sticking out . You can cut it or bend it inward so that it is not visible. 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. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top. In another photo (you can see it in the next point), the position was correct. You may just need to tighten the straps a bit to prevent it from moving. . Reference images -L3. Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. The gap is minimal. Just tighten the belt a little bit and you're done 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. Many people put some Velcro on the rear of the belt to prevent it from moving down. Reference images - L3. T-tracks and grips shall be of a black plastic appearance with no silver/metallic weathering allowed. There appears to be some weathering on the grip. A coat of black paint and it' s done. Reference images And that's all Galton. A few minor easy fixes and your armor will be ready for the Centurion request. You can request your EIB Certificate HERE

Looks great... Can't wait for @justjoseph63 to see that brand new antenna. I know he loves antennas!

Hi Alan, welcome to FISD!!!

Congratulations Jonatan!!!

Hello Galton. Thank you for your application. In order to proceed, we will need a photo of this part: -Cod and posterior plate connections showing rivet/snaps (exterior/interior). Something like this: Ext. Int. Thanks!

Hi Adam, and thank you for your CENTURION application! CRL and CENTURION 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 CENTURION. 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. Nothing to add... You can be proud of how your armor looks... Congratulations!!!

Congratulations

Congratulations Jonatan!!!

Hello Adam. Yes, it's just a suggestion. Well, as you well know, not everything we ask for is included in the CRL ("we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions"). The "base" armor is what it is, and this is how it is reviewed... Anyway, the ear/screw alignment will not be a mandatory requirement for Centurion, unless the helmet looks really bad. It is included in the reviews as our protocol requires us to have some consistency, and ask all troopers for the same things (although sometimes we forget something). Soooo...Your HWT looks awesome, and you do not need to relocate the ear screws for L3. But if you think you can fix it, go ahead!

Hi Adam, 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!

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. Before starting the review, we would like to congratulate you for your HWT... As always, we'll start with the helmet... -Ideally, the ear screws should go aligned with the rear edge of the Traps so we suggest to move them, although we must admit that they are very close to being "perfect". Reference images And that's all Adam. Thank you for making our work easier! 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. A few small details that are very easy to fix... -Your shoulder ammo pack is a little high and a little crooked... You will probably only have to adjust the straps a little bit and it will look much better (you will even be able to move your head more easily, well, as easy as a trooper's head can move). Reference images -About the HWT pack: The pipe mounting brackets, (although not present in the game), stand out and we believe should not be noticeable. We would have "no problem" with it as long as they (and the rivets that hold them) are solid black and the weathering is not noticeable. -The rivets on the backpack straps should be black and there is additional knotted material (that should be removed). We also think that the buckle should be as close to the armpit as possible on both sides. That's all Adam. A little paint and a couple of fixes and Bang!!!, another Centurion badge under your name.... Congratulations again!

Congratulations Gerald!!!

Congratulations Christine. You did it!

Wow Adam... It is evident that you take care of all the details... Stay tuned!!!

Congratulations Gerald!!!
