Tusken RTT Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Excellent build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Nice build! The absolute only thing i can see that MIGHT need adjusting is your TD clips(although im not 100% sure they will hold up your badge). If im not mistaken they should be flush with the endcaps at the sides. Great looking build!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pencap510 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well done- bravo, funny I just don't get tired of seeing awesome armor!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaps[TK] Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great looking. You may want to add a pic of your forearms looking at the wrist edges in case Gazmosis wants to see if you have any return edges Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearings[TK] Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I think that's just for centurion, but I'll go ahead and add it anyway since I'll need it for that application anyway. Thanks for the feedback guys! Edited March 28, 2015 by bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly11[Admin] Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Very tidy build indeed, good luck but looks like an easy pass. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Very nicely done! Excellent job. EIB is a shoe in. EDIT: Can we see some close up pics of your sniper knee, thigh ammo belt and helmet "S" seal? Edited March 31, 2015 by ukswrath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutter[TK] Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think that's just for centurion, but I'll go ahead and add it anyway since I'll need it for that application anyway. Thanks for the feedback guys! If you're going for Centurion, now's the time to submit pics and get feedback so nothing holds up your application. Your armor looks great! The TD clips could be closer to the end caps. It also looks like the tube stripes seem a little to far away from the helmet cheek. They should be about a pencils thickness away. Should have no problem obtaining EIB! Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take/post some additional pics tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Bottom line Ben, if there's something we see we may call it out however, Steve's word is the only one you'll have to take as gospel. If Centurion is what your shooting for than do what everyone else that has gone before you has done. If you think someone's critique is questionable, then wait. Time is on your side sir. Again, good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearings[TK] Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I certainly appreciate any feedback I can get, but I'll wait for official word from Steve before I do anything major. I'm happy to do whatever I need to do, just like everybody who has applied before me I've been reading these application threads for months, it's fun to have my own now!

gazmosis[501st] Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hey there, Ben! Thank you for your application for EIB. Yet another fine example of the possibilities that can be reached with AP. Let's look at this!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been posted. Your armor represents all required elements for EIB. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section, i will summarize observations and suggestions from both myself and your fellow troopers. These suggestions are made to improve the overall appearance of your armor but DO NOT affect any application unless specifically noted. This is just a great, clean build. Nice fit, nice lines. Well done. Updating the small, AP thermal detonator with the correct TM detonator was a nice move. Your clips and the small gap between them and the end caps were brought up. Would I prefer that there were no gap? Yes. However, the gap that is there falls under the "minimal" gap description in my opinion so t is fine. Your incorporation of the original strapping brackets were a nice touch as well. I wish I had more to comment on, but in this case no news is good news!!! Centurion Suggestions: It needs to be made clear that your EIB application is EIB and your Centurion application is Centurion. There are a different and more detailed set of photos required so other details may surface that weren't seen here. I would advise you to take pictures that feature your armor larger in the shot. I have no improvement suggestions that I can see off the top. Just make sure all the necessary pics are present. Well done again and congratulations!!!!
