jannick Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey guys. So, I'm waiting patiently on my TM armour from Paul. I asked him to put it together for me, as I don't really trust my abilities yet. And now, after two months of TK research, I'm already thinking about applying for Expert Infantry. But as I don't have the armour yet, I don't know what I'd need to do. I've been reading up on the EIB standards. But most stuff can't be seen from pictures only. So, to my question. Does anyone know, or have a pretty good idea about, what I should do with/to the armour, to get it EIB. -Jannick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6287[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 You really don't need to do anything. With Paul putting it together for you, you should have no problem getting EIB or even Centurion for that matter. As long as you provided the correct measurements, that is.

jannick Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Cool. But I don't think I'll reach Centurion. As I ordered ABS handplates, and standard snaps for strapping Edited January 8, 2014 by jannick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vecspeed12 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes. What Brian said. If Paul makes it for you. It would be EIB/Centurion ready. Just wait for the armor to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Standard snaps won't matter for centurion. Just get some hand plates from Karin and make sure your blaster is up to snuff and you should be fine for centurion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) If you go and look at SorenM's armor, and his EIB application thread, you'll see the exact same situation. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/25232-tk-29066-requesting-anh-stunt-eib-status-tm-343/#entry317471 He ordered his built by TM, and after receiving his TK number I believe all he did was take pictures and submit them for EIB.

jannick Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Cool. This would make me feel lazy.. If I wasn't constructing my E-11. Didn't know it was that close to Centurion... guess I might as well start looking for a pair of Latex gloves.Does anyone know a good place to get those? Preferably cheap( I used most of my money on armour and E-11 stuff...)And thanks!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoekoner[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 As stated before Karin on these forums is the best person to get hand plates from :imo: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK6287[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Karin makes really good hand backs. As stated above, contact her on this forum. Trooperbay also makes rubber handbacks and the gloves are nice too. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Karin is Sonnenschein here on the forums, just send her a PM and she'll set you up with some really nice gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantina Security[501st] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm in the same boat my friend. Waiting for TM. I was hoping all we had to do is put it on, and submit for EIB. Sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyred99[TK] Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 If you gave paul the right measurements, and you are not over large in the waist you should have zero issues getting EIB out of the box, however if your waist is over 34 inches or so, you better ask him for some spare ABS for side shims.

jannick Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks guys. Guess I'll check out Karin or the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Or you cold just change your request to latex hand plates instead of ABS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannick Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) No thanks Paul I'm fairly certain I'll like the feel of the plastic ones better. The Latex would be for "special occasions", or just showing off Besides. I have a feeling that I might switch the rubber gloves out with thin leather/skin ones, for comfort. So it would be nice to both have comfortable gloves, and screen-accurate.Of course I wont know, until I've tried them Edited January 8, 2014 by jannick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
