The5thHorseman[TK] Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It was great to follow your build thread Richard. I don't see anything to modify aside from what you're already planning to do. Beautiful set of armor, good luck with approval! Just think about posting a close-up of the D-ring on your blaster to avoid delaying your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hi Richard, quick heads up.......internal strapping photo missing from your application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulpX[TK] Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I thought that was an optional one? I'll make some photos later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 G'day Richard and thank you for your EIB application, lets not delay this and get into it. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: Only one photo missing, a close up of your Ab detail, (this will not delay the approval process as we can see the ab details in your full front on picture). Thank you for adding the D ring image as mentioned by Germain, and the internal strapping photos. For reference, I use the Expert Infantry and Centurion Photo checklists http://www.whitearmo...-requirements/ With that said, we would like to award you the Expert Infantry badge, congratulations, well done. Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we will discuss observations made by your fellow troopers as well as any we make. Sometimes changes and or adjustments are suggested. These are made so you can look your best. If any of these changes could affect a future application, we will discuss that separately in the Centurion section below. Fabulous build mate, you wear it very well. Your attention to detail is evident, from the outstanding quality paint job on the helmet, to the overall proportions/fit and tidy cover strips. If there was anything we could find, it would perhaps be only a few very simple modification. Re position the button plate on your Thermal Det, moving it down to meet the top of the belt clips, as in this photo. Shorten the elastic between your forearm and bicep so as to decrease the gap between the two, make sure your shoulder bells are as close to touching the bridges as they can be, but I think you are already intending to work on these. Only minor modification, which will add to the accuracy of your quality build, and to look your very best. Centurion Suggestions: We try to catch everything that can help you to meet the ultimate goal of Centurion, but to be honest there are only a few suggestions. Well done. Close the small 1/2" gap between Ab and Kidney plate, although it may have only opened when you raised your arms for the photo. Shortening the internal strapping in this area will close it up easily. There are a couple of reasons we like to see internal strapping photos in EIB applications. They allow us to make better informed suggestions on any mods that may be required for Centurion, like closing a gap between AB and kidney plates, or the positioning of the six side rivets if they have already been installed. Last of all, make sure, all the required photos are in your application. http://www.whitearmo...oto-checklist/ Notice that the D ring is not listed on this but is required. If you have any question, please don't hesitate to send Tony or myself a PM Congratulation once more on a very clean, build and welcome to EIB rank We most certainly are looking forward to reviewing a Centurion application when you are ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulpX[TK] Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks for the feedback Andrew!<br><br> I shortened my forearm straps yesterday, and I'm working on my detonator today. The rubber hand guards are giving me a headache, I tried CA glue yesterday but that didn't work. So today I'm trying rubber repair stuff from Bison. Third time is the charm (I hope). I'll post the adjusted detonator here when it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulpX[TK] Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Glued the thermal detonator. Unfortunately my aluminum strips aren't aligned perfectly, so the little gap on the left is unavoidable (it looks worse than it is because of the angle of the shot). Hope this is ok: Bonus pic, glued the handguards with rubber repair from Bison, and added some heavyweights to push down on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
