The5thHorseman[TK] Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Good luck with your application Tim, the armor looks great! I think you have all what it needs for EIB but as i understood you're also planning to go for Centurion too. In this case i would attend with these two following points: - I've never seen any Hero helmet with unpainted ear bars rank, so i think it would be good to paint them. - Also on your forearms i would trim the wrist openings further on, until there's no return edges showing at all: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well, Tim! You journey has been both long and resourceful. I am glad we are finally here and we had the pleasure of witnessing your dented boxes and disheveled packaging to see you get to this point. Let's look at your armor!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted. Although one of the hardware on the butt plate is not present, this hardware is clearly visible on the "interior strapping" shot. I am pleased to say that your armor contains all requirements for EIB. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: I am sure Darth Aloha(Eric) is drooling!!! We don;t see too many RT-Mod kits but when we do, they should look like this. Your attention to detail has paid off to the point that this spot which is normally reserved for comments from both your fellow troopers and myself will remain mostly empty. If someone was to put a blaster to my head, my only comment would be tops of your thighs seem a bit over roomy. I think that an adjustment here would really sleek out the overall look of your armor. Great work with that sniper knee!! But your blaster.......meh. Just average. There I go trying to be funny again! We all know the lengths you went through to make that as special as your armor is. Centurion Suggestions: Germain had beat me to the punch. The wrist openings need to have ALL return edge removed including into the square indent ridge. A very easy correction. The only other issue is something else he brought up. You will need a rank bar on your ear. Now...Since RT assembles his helmets, we almost never get to see an RT Mod helmet build thread. Unless the details are mechanically perfect painting, they look like decals. IF in fact they are, they will need to be replaced with hand painting or "hand painted look" decals. Even if they are painted, I have an issue with the rear traps. The vent lines here are all vertical and parallel to each other. This was never the case on the originals. As you see, all vent line were painted in the shape of the trapezoid with the lines angling as they headed to the outer edge. The kidney notch will need some discussion, though, Other than that, unless your complete Centurion picture set reveals something not seen here, it looks like little will stand in your way of Centurion! Great work, Tim!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thank you very much everyone. I am honored to join the ranks of the prestigious EIBs, of the FISD. (Truth be told, I'm giddy on the inside that my EIB number is something that has other connotations as well... "What's the 411 with EIB? Its TK-51878, that's what!!" Heh heh heh) This would not have been remotely possible without the help, encouragement, and friendship of so many of you here. I've learned more about the TK in the last 14 months or so than I previously thought there was to know. Cod and butt are now parts of my day to day conversation. These are things that belong in MasterCard advertising... Cost of an E-11: North of $200, Cost of a TK: North of $2000, getting to use Cod and Butt in everyday conversation with friends: Priceless. Tremendous thanks again, to any and every one of you who has educated me during, or influenced my builds in any way, no matter how overt or subtle that influence may have been. As (a few of) you pointed out, the wrist returns are easy, that will be done tonight. The ear bar was left off semi-intentionally as I have to remove all of the (pre-affixed) stickers and paint everything else on the helmet already. Not going to lie, that is intimidating to me. LoL. I can Dremel, cut, or sand stuff in a straight line pretty well, but painting straight lines? Ugh.. Outside of those two bits of work, I'm looking to see if I can source some S-trim locally. We hit the road for the DFW area in eight days, so ordering it is not an option if I have any illusions of submitting Centurion before we leave. The notch... I suppose that discussion will have to happen. Regardless of what said discussion warrants, rest assured that my Centurion submission will be posted at the first available opportunity. Whether that is Alabama, or Texas remains to be seen, clouded by the dark side the future is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuumantroop[TK] Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Congrats Tim! Although I do question your choice of Hero over Stunt for this build part of me thinks your really working for the "other guys" lol. In all seriousness though, great looking armor!

Can't wait to get my RT Mod kit so I can use your build thread which I had printed and binded!!! Wow, Carl.. I continue to be humbled by the FISD. Thank you, and of course - don't hesitate to ask any questions, should you encounter them during your build. I'm confident that you'll get through it relatively simply like I did though. Congratulations Tim, very well deserved. Thank you for the high quality and detailed information in your build threads, thank you for your support in the forums and thank you for your sense of humour.
