gazmosis[501st] Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hey Charles! Before I do your full review, there is one picture I need to see and that is a picture of the magazine side of you blaster. There are specific changes to the base toy blaster that need to be done that EIB requires. If you have already done that...AWESOME! If not, check the CRL in the blaster section. http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar726[TK] Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Gazmosis, Here are two shots I took. Not the best. Hope they sufice. I was so focused on armor shots I forgot to get good blaster shots. Hope these work if not I can get some when I get home tonight. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thank you for getting that picture up so quickly, Charles! In addition, thank you for your application for Expert Infantry! Oh.....NICE PHANTASM BALL!! Let's have a look at your armor!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have now been posted. Although your armor represents all the necessary requirements for EIB, there needs to be one change in regards to your blaster. The lower most T-track on the magazine side needs to be removed. Once removed, new holes need to be drilled. Your final appearance should look similar to this: Make this one small change and you are there. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: You have done a wonderful job in both the fit of this armor and your build. You have really brought this FX to the next level with your upgrades like the new belt rivet covers, drop box backs, thermal detonator, new cloth belt, and of course; the AP bucket. Wonderful job on that build as well. You even have many of the accurate details not present on many basic builds. Even fixing the once riveted sniper knee. I bet you have made many smile! Centurion Suggestions: Well as nice as this armor is, sadly the FX suit does not qualify for the Centurion program. The good news is that it is clear that you have the talent to build a fantastic suit. With what has been done to this current one, you will make some trooper very happy if you plan on upgrading and selling this one. Thanks again for a great build and get that blaster updated so we can assign you that badge!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templar726[TK] Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Whoohoo!! Thanks guys. It feels great to know the work on the armor paid off. It was really fun and rewarding. I will get started on the blaster tonight and also submit for Heavy weapons Trooper EIB since I am sure my T-21 makes the grade. Thanks again and I can't wait to join the ranks!

Templar726[TK] Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Question for you guys. Can I just grind down the lower T track on the picture below until it is flush and then drill the holes? I am counting 7 holes on the example so that is what I am shooting for.

Templar726[TK] Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Don't see why not, it's plastic correct? Yep! I figure I can grind it down then sand it smooth, drill and retouch paint. Might even give it a more battle tested look? Either way this baby is getting holes tonight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
