Gaz Solo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) hi all! please find submitted my (pre) clearance pics for EIB ANH Hero. As far as i can see, the things i need to address are... lid... new ears with only 2 screws and only 3 bumps - i have a pair coming from John Danter new hovis - i have these, and will fix 'em in when i do the ears i will also need to take a new photo showing the belt sitting above the join of the kidney/butt plate but any feedback would be very welcome! so, without further ado... Armor= RT Helmet= RT Blaster= scratchbuild Height = 6'2" (1.88m) Weight = 14 stones (196lb) Boots = TKBoots Canvas belt = canvas, from Mark 'Firebladejedi' Gage Hand Plates = RT Electronics= RomFX Neck Seal = honestly can't remember! Holster = leather, from a UKG member there we go! I'll submit the pics of the lid mods when they're done thanks Gaz Edited May 15, 2011 by Gaz Solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zsavk[TK] Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 lookin good Gaz! Id say raise up that brow trim on the forehead a bit. Are the shoulder straps free floating at the rear? Looks like they are velcro down in the pics. Not sure if the free floating is an EIB requirment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem to take the velcro off though (just noticed that the left one hasn't been secured properly for the pic!) is the brow trim too high even for Hero?

Gaz Solo Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) oops, meant is the brow trim too low even for Hero? Edited May 16, 2011 by Gaz Solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6466[TK] Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks nice! The right sheen is closed the wrong way and the hero has 4 Snaps to attach the holster. Is it just me or are your shulder bells a bit small? I think thats an easy fix ;-) nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6466[TK] Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 And the Hero helmet must have 2 screws not 3 per side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Great to see other EI helping review EI threads You're correct that shoulder straps must free float in back are not EI required but most EI do them. However if you want to rock the Hero look then yes you'll need to remove the middle ear screw and also add two more fasteners to the holster. I'll agree that raising the brow a tad will help as well.

Gaz Solo Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 thanks for all the comments and feedback, you guys rock! in respects to the brow, i'm guessing it's more down to interpretation and personal preference, rather than necssarily a requirement? I like the brow to sit low, as it's an easy and very definable way to identify the Hero : and apparently the brows weren't fixed, and actually moved (?!), so the line of the brow would be defined by the angle that the actor had their head (my brow is like this!)... here's one of me (with John Danter) at a troop last week (brow sitting slightly higher) but i digress to recap then... new ears, possibly free floating straps, new hovis, belt above the butt plate; change overlap on right shin all comments and thoughts still very welcome, keep 'em coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 For the brow it's more the concern that it's overlapping the eyes, rather than being at the border above them. You can go as low as you want as long is there is no overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go as low as you want as long is there is no overlap. thanks for the clarification i think it's more to do with the angle the pics were taken at... and when my big old head is in the bucket, the brow pushes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrazor Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 hi Gaz, besides the details noted above you have pretty much nailed the hero two things i can see are (as you pointed out) the ear screws, and also the ANH Heros' EI states that you must have "four rivets, snaps or Chicago screws" attaching the holster. and for the ears (as you already know) when you take your new photos with the fixes be sure to send me a PM so i don't miss the update keep up the good work trooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
