Hi Billy,

 

i'm going to recommend 3 easy adjustments for your EIB application.

 

1. Front AB belt, the corner cuts should be diagonal cuts not rounded as appearing in the pictures.

Cut to meet your canvas belt.

 

2. A bit of trimming is required on your thigh ammo pack to bring the rivet a little closer, to appear closer to the corner.

 

3. Your forearms need pulling up a bit so that they are not sitting on your wrist and appear in between your elbow and wrists.

Are they strapped, or foam packed?

 

Nearly there trooper.

cheers fella! leave them with me ill get them sorted! the forearms are neither foam or strapped as my forearms are quite big and fill them so never needed to pack them that was just an overlook on my part when i wore the armour for the pics they pull up real easy............silly me should have checked :huh: haha

 

thanks for looking though ;)

Hey Billy!

Nice suit you got there!

 

One thing I could add:

If it really is like I think it is from looking at your pictures (especially the one below)

You need to rework the paint of your teeth. The space between the teeth was not painted gray, it was left white.

Take a look yours:

I hope it is the shadow that makes the space in between look grey, but if not you need to remove this paint.

And the original:

hey bud.... i have tried everything to load these pics up but like i said ive tried re-sizing, photobucket everything i can think of and it still says file too big to upload :( it says i can upload up to 10.45k of files (max. single file size: 10.45k) does that shed any light at all???

 

i even tried to start a new thread and still no joy at all.... i desperately want to get this armouur through but really do not know what else i can do?

How to post pics

 

 

Open up a free of charge Photobucket account.

Upload your pictures to your Photobucket using their easy uploader routine.

 

Once the picture is there

You have an option to see the photos hosting properties.

Click on or copy the [img/] line of code.

 

You simply paste that in your post here.

You can either type a description or comment the paste the code after.

Or just past the code in its own reply.

 

Good luck and we look forward to seeing your pics.

alritey then! i got my 12 year old daughter to do the pics for me and she did it in seconds........*facepalm* so the Belt mod is in an earlier pic and above is the forearms adjusted plus the cell boxes/ammo boxes on the thigh re-trimmed if the lid is still an issue to anyone i can show a pic of the gap also

Hi Billy I dont think the gaps between the teeth was the issue Steffen had, he was talking about the grey paint had been carried on around the frown similar to the pic below

This is not the way to do it and im sure you have not done this and its just the shadows on your pics playing tricks and making it look so.

If possible could  you post up a pic or two to show its just the teeth that are painted grey.

Good luck mate ;)

Hi Billy

Can you clean up the teeth area?

Just the teeth should be grey, as mentioned in the basic CRL,

The EIB CRL states that the helmet decals and paint need to be correctly painted so it can't just be ignored.

Try scraping the excess paint with a wooden toothpick first.

If that doesn't do it, then you can use enamel paint thinners on a cotton ear bud, then wipe off with a tissue.

 

Here is good reference.

ESB and ROTJ helmets tend to be painted full mouth as yours is.
