justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 WOW! Great job, Russell!!! You have obviously paid a lot of attention to detail, sir! If I could make a few suggestions, I would post close-up photos of your thigh ammo pack, showing the rivets, and also one of your sniper knee plate/calf connection. I think you have this nailed, though.. BTW, fantastic paint work on your bucket and ab buttons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well, well, Mr. Rucker! This is a gem. Thank you for your EIB application. Let's look at this set of armor! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for EIB. With that, I would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section, I will review suggestions made by your fellow troopers and myself that go towards improving the final look of your armor. If any suggestions require changes, I will list those in the above section or the Centurion Suggestions section. This is yet another example of close to perfect armor building. I can only say well done so many times. Your blaster is a marvel. Your body type was made perfect for this armor, and your build is on point. If someone forced me to comment on something...... It would be to first get some matching paint for your house so the repairs match.......the only thing I could come up with are your tears below the eyes could extend a little larger and go up to the "walls" of the tears. All your details painted are outstanding. Centurion Suggestions: The ultimate accuracy required for Centurion is up to the trooper. I wish I could comment on something here. Great work!!!!

russellr2d2[TK] Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I am humbled, thank you. I am proud to be part of such a group. Without the information and watchful eyes of others here this build would not have happened! Thank you all and a special thank you to Tony for all your comments!

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 CONGRATS, sir, on this well deserved honor! I gotta say that I was especially impressed when Steve said "I wish I could comment on something here" in the Centurion Suggestions. If I were to make one suggestion, it would be "Get that house painted A.S.A.P."!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really want to do my EIB application against a PINK background....but what the heck, their not looking at the background really ....uhhhh wait.....yes they are!
