  1. If you do it carefully, the plastic should not break. But be careful if you use a drill, as the area may overheat and then it could deform the plastic.
  2. Hi Sean, 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. Congratulations. An armor that takes care of the details. Very nice work Trooper!!! Let's comment on a few small details. -This is a detail that we frequently suggest. As seen in the reference image, you could trim the ends of the brow trim. Easy fix Reference images L2-Fall of tube stripe tops ideally lean toward the front. The CRL for level two states that IDEALLY the fall should be as in the reference images shown below. Reference images -The small button panel can be trimmed a little to show the part of the armor where it sits (which has a small notch). Reference images -A simple dressing issue here. There should be no gap between the two parts of the raised ridges 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 CRL states that the Sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin. This point is definitely the biggest challenge you will find on your way to the Centurion level. This will require you to detach the knee of the sniper (very carefully!!!) and realign it. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect, but it should be much closer than it is. 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. 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 And that's all Sean, Congratulations!!!! And we look forward to seeing your Centurion application soon!!!!
  3. Hello Sean. Thanks so much for the pictures!!! Unfortunately, in order to check the position of the TD, we need a photo showing its final position.. The best thing to do would be to put on the armor, and take a new photo. Regarding the teeth, we have been talking about it, and we think you should fix a little bit more the lower part that we indicated. Reference image We know it's a little "scary" this kind of fixes, but believe us, for this kind of details, you will feel proud to wear your armor ... Thanks!
  4. Hi Sean. First of all, we need you to include the link to your approved armor(501st record). You can edit the first post and include it. In the meantime, I would like to tell you that your armor looks great!. Nice job on those teeth. However, while we are working on your application, there are a couple of them that can be fixed a bit. We would also like to ask you a favor. We need a photo like the example below, as the images you have attached do not allow us to see the details clearly. -Also a photo of the wrist openings (close-up) like this: Thanks!
  5. Well, as Glen rightly says, it's up to you. You can wait until you have the rest of the pieces and see how it looks. You can trim it then.(if necessary.)
  6. Hi Jonathan. I would move the Han snap a little bit more towards the edge. The other rivet, looks good to me.
  7. Buckets off... There are times when life is very unfair, and this is undoubtedly one of those times.... Rest in peace brother.
  8. Hi Marcel!... Welcome to FISD! It's never too late to join the Empire! Good luck with your approval
  9. Nice work Terry. Except for the few minor fixes that have been pointed out, I think you should be good for basic approval. I would like to add one thing(level 3). It might be the angle of the photo, but "the back edges of ammo pack need to be an equal distance from the "corners" of the ridge at the rear". Although it is not listed in the CRL, to keep "screen accuracy" and a better overall appearance, we always require it for level 3.
  10. Try this way... Unless you are from a glacial area, I do not recommend lining the entire inside with foam.
  11. Hello and welcome back Steve!
  12. Hello Zachary and welcome to FISD!!!
  13. Hi Bart. We must ask one more favor of you, before we can "move along" with your application. We believe that the dimensions of your TD are not accurate. The CRL states for Basic Level: length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm). End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width. The thermal detonator is attached via metal or metallic-appearing clips, approximately 1" (25mm) wide. Your end caps appear to be too thick. You must trim them a little so that they measure approx. 19mm. I attach a reference image where you can see the approximate measurements. Reference images Reference image Thanks Bart.
  14. Hi Marek, and thank you for your submission for ANH Stunt Centurion! 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. -We would just like to add, as a suggestion, that you can use a small file to remove those little "bits" of abs in the area of the teeth. Reference image -Also, keep an eye on the shoulder bridges. They can break easily. Reference images Nothing more to add Marek. Great job! Thank you very much for taking the time to "upgrade" your armor to Centurion level... Now you can "encourage your Garrison friends" who haven't achieved it yet!!!! Congratulations #524!!!
  15. Hi Bart, thank you for your request. A few more photos would be helpful. -A photo of the 6 side rivets. Something like this: -Photos of the belt, from both sides, where the plastic belt ends and an image of the belt from behind. Like these: -A "more frontal" photo of the blaster (side of the counter), like this: Thanks!!!
  16. Hi Marek! We are working on your request, the armor looks great! Just one last favor so we can see the Centurion badge under your name. So as not to create confusion in future applications, we need you to update/correct two photos in this request. The photos are Nº1 and Nº23. About No.1, the belt is too low, which is something we emphasize a lot in the applications. It probably moved during the photo shoot. Regarding No. 23, the plastic belt does not seem to keep the 45° angle with respect to the canvas belt. In the other pictures it looks like it, but to avoid confusion, we prefer that you replace the photo with a clearer one. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Marek.
  17. Hi Matt, just one thing. If I can tell you something, if what you want is a valid helmet for the 501st, you can contact people(from your Garrison) in your area and they can advise you which is the best option, so you will avoid unnecessary expenses.
  18. Hi Vasco!!! Welcome to FISD! You can also get in touch with people from your Garrison, I know for a fact that there are very nice people (like Abilio Maia). Veja se pode vir ao Training Day deste ano em Espanha com a sua armadura de Trooper!
