TK5492[TK] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I see a few things here Neil, although I don't want you to be discouraged by anything as they are small: 1. Your shoulder bells should be pulled up. They should be almost touching your shoulder straps. Right now they look like they are kindof hanging off. 2. I think you would look better with your thighs raised up. This may also help with your thigh being caught on your sniper plate. 3. Unfortunately, this one makes this unapprovable: Your right shin has the overlap facing the outside. This is a problem I have seen before with the FX armor. To adjust it you can simply reverse the overlap and glue a new cover strip. Great job overall, and as I said don't get discouraged as these are easy fixes and the first two I mentioned are just suggestions I think would add to the overall appearance of your armor. After all, EI was designed to recognize excellence and go the "extra mile" for the correct look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ditto on the shoulder bell, in the pictures you can see that you still have at least an 1" where you can pull the bells up. That should be an easy fix. (The gap between the bell and biceps demonstrate this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Shin shin overlap facing the wrong way is the show stopper here, but I agree on points 1 and 2 as well that Tyler mentions. It'd make a great improvement on the overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey thanks heaps guys. I will fix these things today. Bells and thighs should be easy. Question is the calf armor to be changed on the front or rear of the armor ?? or are they both the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai[TK] Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi! I know, it is not a requirement for EIB, but your Ammo Knee Belt would look better, if you mount it the right way. It is mounted to high I think. Here are some Reference Picks for you: http://www.whitearmor.net/fisd/Tikipedia:ANH-Stunt:Knee-Pack:ReferenceGallery And I don`t think you have enough Plastic left, to cut the Round Corners on the Bottom. It is not a requirement but it would help to make a improvement to your Armor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks everyone for your input. These small changes stand out now they have been pointed out. I will post pics once everything is fixed. Thanks again team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Question: do I have to have my blaster complete before I can be granted EI??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK5492[TK] Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Question: do I have to have my blaster complete before I can be granted EI??? Yes. As part of the EIB requirements as they are shown in the CRL, a blaster meeting the EI specific details must be present. How copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Ttkk copy that Ttkk 3/4 the way through scratch build. About 16hours labour left tho so pictures to come when completed. I didn't think a blaster was a requirement, so I do my apologise for any inconvenience caused if any. Oops my mistake. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 All I found in the crl is: items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present must meet the guidelines below. Blastech e11 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 So this is why I got that impression. E11 build continues. Thanks for the help and all of the answers team. I truly appreciate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
