Hey Michael.  Just like I said on the Facebook group, I think you guys did a great job on the armor and I don't see anything right now that should be an issue.

 

However, what happened to your handguard?  Did a rebel try and slash you with a knife and you blocked it?

 

Good Luck!

Awesome looking build, Michael!  I did notice that you have Hero hand guards, though, and they may have to be changed for your Centurion application.  Great job!

They're not Hero handguards. They're alternative style.

Three Stunts in a row.

 

Let's kill that difference between the Hero and Stunt handguards myth once and for all please! :)

The Hero/Stunt Handguard "titles" were essentially adjusted to normal and alternative style by (I do believe) our very own Sonnenschein (Karin - the Queen of Handguards) a good while ago using many screen-references which showed the various styles in use in many different scenes, as Germain pointed out above.

 

The CRLs make no mention (either Hero or Stunt) of a different style of guard, merely the material used in creating them.  ;)

Thanks for clarifying that, Germain!  I got that reference from this thread after someone (no names) forwarded it to me a while back, so I stand corrected!

Wow thanks on the hand guard details, like they say learn something new every day - I figured I had to do new ones for centurion, sounds like I better get on it - once approved for EIB that is :)

Hello.....what have we here!!

 

Hi Michael, welcome to your EI approval, and one with a difference.

For a start you are our first ANOVOS EI application, so we thought we would mark this occasion by doing a joint review.

As you may be aware, Ukswrath is also currently building his very own Anovos OT TK and putting together an incredibly detailed build thread, which no doubt will be pinned to the build threads page.

Anyway enough from me, lets see what he has to say as an intro. :)

 

Wow! what and Introduction Andrew, thanks brother. Michael I wanted to keep this short however, since you are the first to submit for EIB I would like to take a moment to say a few things. 

First off, great looking build trooper. I can honestly say as much as I wanted to be the first out the gate, I'm glad someone else is. The pressure is now off my shoulders :dancing-trooper:.  More power to you and all the other ANOVOS builders out there, and a huge shout out to those like yourself striving for accuracy.  As Andrew mentioned, and as you may have already seen, my build thread is about accuracy, or as close as possible. Our goal here on the FISD is to make your armor look as accurate as possible also. As with any first born, the attention your armor will receive is far greater than those that follow, in other words we're taking our time, please be patient with us. 

 

Anovos has received a great deal of scrutiny the last several months for many reasons, from where it derived it's armor specifications, to the manufacturing process, material being used, to it's sanitation of a once hand sculpted movie prop. It's my understanding it is the first out of the box (with minor modifications) 501st accepted, mass produced, commercially available armor on the market. With it's introduction it is an understatement when I say, "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore". We have entered a new era of Star Wars costuming. Building this armor myself I've have first hand experience with the good and the not so good. In my honest opinion it is a nice set of armor especially if you purchased it at the introductory price, though I'm sure there are plenty that will disagree with me regarding its worthiness.

 

Regardless of all the hoopla, this is your day, your build, and that's why we're here. 

 

With that said let's take look shall we, back to you Sly.    

 

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All required photos have been submitted, your armor contains all necessary elements set out in the EIB CRL, so with that I would like to Congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry. :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:

You are now officially the first with Anovos OT TK armor to be awarded this level.

 

 

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

This is a section where we take the opportunity to look at your armor closely and suggest things to improve the overall look of your armor. Unless specifically stated, these suggestions will not affect any application.

Both Tony and I agree, the painted area of the frown should taper down to a point at the ends, and this would take you that extra step closer to the realms of screen accuracy.

 

20160218_221121_zpsueoysuvd.jpg

As you can see from these screen used helmets, most of them have a nice tapered end.

It might be worth while also increasing the bend on those Thermal Det clips, as they appear to stick out a little and may get caught on someones costume. It does look like the screws are a little to far away from the ends, but we are not suggesting you replace them. I would also just run a file lightly over those sharp corners to be safe.

If you were to shorten up the outer most straps on your Butt plate, we think this would stop them from popping out as they are in the side shot below.

As we mentioned above, these things wont have a bearing on any future Centurion application, but will make you look the best you can.

I guess you are feeling pretty good by now, so these few little things corrected will make you feel even better.

 

Centurion Suggestions:

The ultimate accuracy is up to the trooper when it comes to Centurion, and you are certainly on your way to becoming our first Anovos approved  at this level.

Make sure all photos are posted and you check the Level 3 CRL.

See you in Centurion application shortly.

 

Again Congratulations on a job well done
