ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 The problem wasn't the hole you filled in, your blaster is missing the charging handle (aka loading lever). The blaster you submit must have this lever. Reference pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do you have another blaster you can use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiyo[501st] Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do you have another blaster you can use? Somebody else's you mean? Personally I just have this E11 and my DLT19. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Or you can make something that looks like a handle and attach it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 You can submit the DLT instead of the E11 but that means new pictures, action shot also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do you have a pair of pliers? Place it in a vice or use another pair of pliers and tweak it a little, cut it, round off one end BAM! you're golden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 It would be very easy to fashion one of these out of epoxy putty or Sugru, if you have some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi Tom, thank you for your EI application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry, congratulations trooper and welcome. Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by us and your fellow troopers. Any suggestions we make is to increase the overall look of your armor, though none of these will effect your EIB status. We have a few items to talk about here so let's start from the top. Keep in mind the accuracy of your armor and any suggested repairs are ultimately up to you. 1) Left shoulder bell gap. The gap between the left bell and the cover strip is greater than the right side. We generally like to see little to no gap, equally on both sides. It may be as simple as picture issue. Reference image 2) There should be little to no gap between the back and kidney plates. Adjusting the connecting strap should resolve this issue. Reference photo 3. Left forearm lower than the right. There's a pretty significant gap between the forearm and the bicep. A simple connecting strap adjustment should fix this. If you don't have any this would be a great time to add them. 4. There appears to be some damage to your ab button plates. Maybe applying polishing compound to these areas can smooth them out. 5. Biceps very large. During assembly there should have been more material removed here. They should be more circular. Unfortunately this is may be a big repair, basically disassembling and reassembling the forearms. Reference pic 6. Posterior bunched up in the back. The posterior should reside below the kidney plate. Adjusting the connecting straps should resolve this issue. Reference picture 7. Calf cover strips appear to be very large. Though not as critical as the forearms the cover strips at the calf should be around 25mm wide. They appear to be much larger. We suggest you trim them down if they're larger than 27mm. Reference pic Centurion Suggestions: In this section Sly or myself may suggest recommended or required repairs prior applying for the Centurion level. Again, the accuracy it is ultimately up to the trooper. The only issue we have is the Drop box positioning. As per the CRL for level 3: Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Your will need to be repositioned. The ost common fix for this is to glue the drop box strap to the canvas belt it self. Reference image. Though an odd image to compare your situation to but even as Han is bent over his drop boxes remain aligned. And finally, the CRL states For level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor.The fix could be a simple as a strapping adjustment. Shouldn't be too difficult. Reference photo There you have it. A few fixes and we hope to see you at Centurion. Excellent work, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
