justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Really nice job, Justin, and great job on the painting! You may want to post close-up pics of your bucket, (front, sides, back), and include one that shows the color of your lenses. Looks like you are shooting for Centurion, so I would also paint the rivets on your thigh ammo pack white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looks like an easy EIB. Don't forget a photo of the color of your helmet lenses too. For Centurion you may need to glue your shoulder bridges to your chest. They look either raised up a bit or velcro'd down. That's up to the DO dudes of course. Nice job trooper. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chills[TK] Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looks like a really nice build, good job. One thing I notice is that in the pic that shows the close up of your holster attachment, I see that the rivets on the ab/kidney connection don't line up. The rivet on the kidney is almost in the center of two rivets on the ab. It might be the way you're standing, but for Centurion you'd need to submit a pic of that side in detail. Good luck!

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Your'e almost there, Justin! I think Tony or Andrew may address this in the "Centurion suggestions" part, but I thought you might want a heads-up.. How wide is your thermal detonator? The caps look like they may have to be trimmed to meet the maximum 7 1/4 to 71/2 inch width, (it may just be my failing eyesight, though).. Also, you will need to have the outside of your drop boxes lined up with the edge of your ammo belt. You may just need a safety pin or something similar to keep em' in place. I forgot to mention this in my last post, but damned fine job on that scratch built E-11!! Edited October 23, 2015 by justjoseph63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi Justin, welcome back to your EIB review, and thank you for applying, now it really is time to get stuck into it.CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All the required photos have been posted. Your armor contains all the necessary elements to qualify for EIB. With that, I would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry. Thank you for posting the pictures as suggested by your fellow troopers. Armor Fit/Assembly:This section is reserved for the observations of Ukswrath, myself and your fellow troopers. Suggestions to change certain things may also come up. If any of these changes would be required, they will be noted in the Centurion section below.You have certainly shown us a beautiful build, great work, you should be proud. There are only a few of minor things that need a tweak to get you looking the best you can be. We noticed that your belt looked to be loose causing it to sit a bit low in the front and possibly causing the side of your Ab and kidney plates to slip vertically out of alignment, but when you posted the missing arm up images, it appears to be fine. The ammo belt canvas looks a little long for you, if it could be trimmed down in length, that would just tidy up the look from the back. (not a deal breaker) We have a question regarding your shoulder bridge attachment to the chest plate. They appear to be Velcro-ed down, or are spaced up off the chest plate, if they are glued, the sections that are not touching will need to be glued down as Darth Aloha has suggested.Centurion Suggestions:It is quite obvious in the detail and quality of your build that Centurion is the goal.Make sure your drop boxes are aligned at the end of your ammo belt, currently they sit in from the ends, if they move around it might pay to add some Velcro between their straps and the canvas belt to prevent this. Correct Drop box alignment for centurion level Shoulder Bridges to chest attachment: Finish gluing the shoulder bridges to the chest. This is a tricky one to determine as we are not sure currently how you have them attached. They should be sitting flat and not raised as they are, I have every confidence that you can fixed this easily. Thermal Detonator: It does appear that some measurements on your Thermal det may be out, changing the overall proportions. I have provided the image below as a guide for you to check against, Things of note: End caps should be approximately 19mm wide and overall length of Det, approx 184mm. Once you modify the end caps you will need to reposition the belt clips, so they are almost, if not touching the end caps again. Paint detail on ears: First off, great job on the painted details of your helmet. I would recommend that you thin out the black outline on the ears though, as it is quite thick compared to the other outlines on the traps and tears. This will be a nice touch up on an already beautiful set of armor. Excess paint can be removed with a toothpick dipped in turpentine, and scrapped toward the painted area. Handy tip for cleaning up paint bleed as well. I must compliment you on a very well constructed armor, attend to the above suggestions and I see a Centurion in the near future. Once again, Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordsith[TK] Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks to everyone for taking the time to grade and critique my build! I am going to start working right away on making the final adjustments for Centurion. I will try to get some better pics posted of the shoulders showing that they are in fact glued and not velcro'd. Should have some updates soon! Shoulder straps glued Cheers to all! Edited October 26, 2015 by Mordsith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
