Good looking build! Overall nicely done.

 

Just a few things I see. The holster should be attached on the inside of the belt, not the outside. It looks like there can still be some return edge on the front of the forearms taken off. The screws on the TD should be painted black. Also your thighs might be a tad too long, especially in the back where it looks like the left one is overlapping the butt piece.

Lastly you might want to put some foam at the top of your shin near the sniper plate so that it doesn't get stuck behind your thigh. I hope I did not come off harsh, just a few suggestions to get the armor to it's highest level.

Great job on the armor, I would be proud to troop next to you.

Nice looking suit, Ryan.  Besides what Allan suggested, they also may make a comment on the belt in the back not being aligned. Also, you may want to consider trimming the lens screws down a little, just as a precaution.

 

But first, the DO's will want to know a little more about you. Please go back to your first post and add a few lines:

and include a link to your 501st approval page.

Hey Ryan, the guys are all over this one, please fix your belt and post up new the photo.

Also can you please put your details in at the top of the post as mentioned above, and lastly, can we please get a clear action shot, yours is very blurry.

We actually use them in a separate thread on the forums.

 

Thank you.

Hey Ryan!!, thank you for your application, and updating the info and photos, lets take a look at your armour.

CRL and EIB Application Requirements:

All requested photos are present and your armor meets all the requirements set out for EIB. Ukawrath and myself would like to congratulate you on achieving Expert Infantry rank!! :duim:

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly:

In this section we review comments made by your fellow troopers as well as our own observations.

Its good to see you jumped onto the various suggestions from your fellow troopers, that's great work. A few of those things are only needed for Centurion so its nice that they are know ticked off the to do list.

The updated image of you back makes a couple of things more obvious to us so we will make some suggestions.

1.Separation of the back and Kidney plate. It looks like the weight of your blaster is the potential cause of this, but also the outer most strap could using a touch of shortening. Second to that, it also shows how much room you have to move in the Ab to kidney region. It does look a little large around the middle, so we see there are two options here. The easiest is to add some pieces of foam to the inside of those parts. This will allow the armor to be in contact a a few extra points with your mid section when you put on your ammo belt . That alone will reduce the chance of your armour sagging as much on that side.

The second of the two options would be to trim some material off both sides of the kidney plate bringing the two halves in better contact with you body and giving a better form fit. Definitely try option 1 first as it may make the right amount of difference.

Butt plate popping out. This may stem partly from the Ab to kidney fit, but just make sure the straps are not too long. Due to the traditional strapping method, that's about all you can do, unless you add some extra straps to the inside using snap plates and more elastic. No one will see them when you are wearing the armour and you will still have the traditional look from the outside.

Please make sure it is all aligned nicely for  your future Centurion application, even if it means not having the E11 holstered for you photos.

Thigh sizing: We have noticed your thigh armour looks quite large, and judging by the image below you have miles of room to move. Again you have two choices, but the obvious one is to utalise some foam padding inside. This will stop them from twisting and prevent the knock kneed effect .

Alternatively, you can resize them to better fit., only suggestions.

Centurion Suggestions:

Welcome to the section where we do our best to get you ready for Centurion, the ultimate level of accuracy is up to the trooper, but we still like to push the envelope here.

Firstly, you have done well to get to this point so lets take it to the next level.

The abdomen side snap should be left unpainted, so we would kindly ask you to remove the white paint.

Overall your helmet is fantastic, but it appears the lens is not sitting far enough in to the eye sockets, you may have to rew try and drill a few extra holes to get it right in.

IMG_1070_zpsredwttgw.jpg

 

We would also highly advise that once you have the lens correctly fitted, that you cut off some of the length of the bolts. This is for your own safety alone. Sometimes over zealous fans can whack you across the helmet thinking its funny, and I would hate to hear that in the event this did happen, you were hurt by the bolts . The eye sockets could also do with a little sanding to clean them up.

Yet again, thank you for putting the extra effort in with this application, thank you for your patience and Congratulations trooper :salute:

 

See you in Centurion soon.
