Darth Raveen[TK] Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Hello Troops! After I got my 501st approval this February, it's time to see how high I can go with it.

Paggeldiwwer[TK] Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi Sascha. It's an excellent build. Nothing to complain about. Only one thing perhaps: the rivets that fix the holster-straps to the belt could be positioned closer to the lower edge of the belt. But I am not sure if that matters at all. Congratulation on this clean and impressive armor. Be proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Very nice build! I love the "natural weathering" on the hand guards. Looks very authentic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills[TK] Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Your armor looks great. The only thing I noticed is what Marc mentioned. Nothing else stands out to me. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hey Sascha!! Thank you so much for your application for EIB. Let's take a closer look!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: You are only missing photo but not a critical one. the cod and butt plate attachment. Please take this picture and edit it in so we can see it. As for your armor, it contains all the necessary details required for EIB. With that, I congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry!!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: This section is to discuss observations made by myself and fellow troopers. If any suggestions for correction or improvements are made I will specify if they are required in the Centurion Section below. Thank you for letting us see this work of art. Karin mentioned the natural weathering and that hits the nail on the head. Very nice!! The only comment I can drum up is in regards to your belt and holster straps. I will make further note of this in the Centurion Suggestions section below. Typically, the holster is mounted much closer to the end of the plastic waist belt. I also like to see the rivets mounted a little lower. However a repair here would ruin your belt and most likely require a replacement as the mark and hole from the first rivets could not be removed. It is fine but please check below. Centurion Suggestions: Although I try to see everything, the ultimate Centurion accuracy is up to the trooper. Since the cod/butt attachment wasn't seen, please make sure there is no paint on any of the male snaps or the split rivet. If possible, I'd like you to take your Centurion application pictures with a better quality camera if possible. It is just a shame to showcase your incredible armor with grainy images. Going back to your holster straps......they are REALLY long. you need to only have around 25 mm of strap showing. This is an easy adjustment for you I am sure. Thank you again and wonderful job!! You must make your Garrison proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Raveen[TK] Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thank you very much for your opinion, and for giving me the incredible EIB Status! I'm really proud about that. I'll edit the application with the missing photo as soon as possible. In time, I might shorten the holster straps, which are indeed to long. Thanks again, I salute!

Paggeldiwwer[TK] Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Congratulations for joining the EIB-ranks, Sascha. But no real surprise with this impressive armor. And now we all would love to see you taking the next step ... to Centurion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
