T K[501st] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Looking good! Two things I would like to mention. First, does your knee plate get caught under your thigh? It could just be the angle. And second, the shoulder bridges at the back look like they are wanting to cut into your neck. Just the two elastic loops required for centurion should fix that. But looking fantastic, good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks, Aaron. Yes, I noticed the sniper knee plate after I posted the photos. I went ahead and added some one inch foam strips to the inside front just like I had to with my AM ones. Much better! The shoulder bridges do look like they would cut in, but don't. I have already remedied that as well with the 1/4 inch elastic loops to keep them from riding up so high. Thanks for the input! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magni[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Looking good Han! What?, Oh, looking good Joseph! No need for luck. You got it! When's the grappling hook coming? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Looking good Han! What?, Oh, looking good Joseph! No need for luck. You got it! When's the grappling hook coming? Funny you should mention a grappling hook ,Randy. I built one from scratch a few years ago (below) while waiting for my first kit, but then decided to go Stunt and sold it for $60.00. I could kick myself in the butt-plate now, LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kman[TK] Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I agree, great job on that helmet! One question: That ab detail shot is a different set of armor. Not Anovos. Far too rounded. Was that accidentally included from a different set? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too rounded. Was that accidentally included from a different set? Thanks for catching that, Kalani! I was having some trouble uploading photos to my "Hero" PB folder, and it sent it to my "Stunt" folder, so that was the AM ab pic. Problem corrected!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly11[Admin] Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Well well well, look who we have here! Welcome to your EIB review Joseph, lets take a walk on the wild side!! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos are present. Your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry , congratulations Joseph and welcome to the Expert Infantry!! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: Here is where we go through any comments made by your fellow troopers and observation both Tony and I may make in the review process. If anything is found that would effect an application it will be mentioned either in the above or below sections of this report. We also make comment on things that can help you look your absolute best. Great job on the helmet mods to get this kit up to Hero spec, I think you may be the first with an Anovos to take it there, you are to be commended. Only a couple of suggestion to make mention of, these were brought up by your trooper brothers. We think maybe some heat treatment on the shoulder bridges will get them to sit better against your back plate. I had the same problem with mine so I used a hair dryer rather than a heat gun to adjust them down. Reference image It looks like the ear screws used here are pan head style, where they should be the V head or counter sunk style. This is only an accuracy thing and if in fact you have used the V head type I stand corrected. Reference image Although it is hard to tell the size of the painted abb buttons from your image, we do believe they could be painted a little larger. Generally the approximate measure is 11mm across, as a matter of interest, how wide are yours? Here is just a little accuracy suggestion that gets missed from time to time. The snap on the upper portion of the Ab plate was mounted on the outside, where it was mounted internally on the original costumes. This should be easy enough to drill the center out and mount a new snap on the inside Reference photo of screen used Ab plate. Centurion Suggestions: In this section Uk or myself may suggest recommended or required repairs or modifications prior to applying for the Centurion level however, the accuracy it is ultimately up to the trooper. Unless the more detailed set of photos needed for Centurion reveal anything, we can say your armour is in great shape. We do however have a minor blaster item to cover. On close inspection of your Blaster, we discovered you have the rear sight mounted backwards. The scalloped section should face the rear of the gun. Reference image Very nice build and an excellent job on the Helmet. Only a few things to attend to, although most are only suggestions, but we know you got this. Congratulations yet again, and we certainly look forward to seeing a Centurion application from you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
