Sly11[Admin] Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Great work on your armor. A little hard to tell from the image, but it looks like the slit rivet in the crotch is painted white. If it is please remove the white paint as they weren't painted originally . Good luck with your application.

ukswrath[Staff] Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 This must be SDS week lol. Great job on the build. Looks like you've been out trooping, good for you. I agree with Andrew, removing the paint from the cod rivet is required. Also, though this doesn't effect EIB you'll need to align your drop boxes with the edge of you ammo belt for Centurion, judging by your build I'm assuming that's what you'll be shooting for. Good luck sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaps[TK] Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 To add to whats already been suggested, try to adjust the shoulder bell straps for your biceps. Your one arm is showing it but the other arm isn't in the back view..... Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck sir. No problem. I align boxes. Thanks To add to whats already been suggested, try to adjust the shoulder bell straps for your biceps.

gazmosis[501st] Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi there, Oscar! Thank you for your application for EIB. We haven't seen SDS armor in a while so let's get to it! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor represents all the required elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EIB! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section I will discuss observations made by your fellow troopers as well as myself. These may contain suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Unless stated in the above or below sections, these suggestions are not required. I am not going to lie, SDS armor has always made me take a deep breath because I usually have to inform the owner of a great deal of work that is going to be required to update the armor set. This does not seem to be the case here. You have put a lot of thought into building this armor the right way and it shows! There have already been a few cosmetic suggestions that have been made that you have followed through on like removing the paint from your cod rivet (Centurion only) and aligning your drop boxes. The one thing I do want to bring up actually has to do with your holster. You might want to inform the person who built this for you that the holster straps should be installed to line up with the ends of the holster not set in as you have it. Also, there was a small piece of square leather on the front that the rivet went through before connecting to the strap which sits in the back. Here is an example: Aside from that detail, nothing pops out at me that needs repair. Nice work with this set!!! Centurion Suggestions: I try to spot all that I can and mention it here, but the final Centurion accuracy is up to the trooper. I feel bad about doing this, but SDS armor has had a tendency to show up here with a lot of overlap construction. In your Centurion application, please provide a few close-up shots of your bicep, forearm, and thigh back seams just to show that the proper butt joint construction is on your armor. EIB requirements state that the gaps on the side cannot exceed 12 mm (1/2 inch). The gaps on your armor are very close to that but acceptable. Centurion, however, requires these gaps be removed as much as possible so there is little to NO seam gap. From looking at the way your armor fits you, this seems like this would require nothing more than a belt tightening to get rid of. If this is the case, you might want to replace the side elastic with webbing if this continues to be a problem. The only other adjustment I'd like to see you make is to your left button plate. When installed, it should not exceed the platform it is mounted on. Look at this example: You really have one of the nicer SDS sets I have seen. Your Garrison should be proud to troop beside you as it seems you have done quite a bit of already!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
