shashachu[TK] Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yay another WTF trooper! Only comment I have is the gap between your biceps and forearms. Can you drop your biceps? They look better in the side shots but they're very high in the front and back shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnitDavid[TK] Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Shashachu they had me raise them for approval. i slid them back down to minimize the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy[Admin] Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Well done, David. That’s a nice looking set of armour. :-)If I may, I’d also mention the bicep to forearm gap. If it were me, I’d probably raise the forearm by around an inch or so (yours look like they might be resting on the hand plate) and drop the bicep by a couple of inches to try and match the originals a little closer. Here’s what I mean. :-)Do you have elastic between the bicep and forearm? Best wishes,Dan :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnitDavid[TK] Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I do have elastic between them. I have made a few tweeks since I finished my build in february. I shortened the elastic the morning before this troop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hey David, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's have a look at our final applicant of 2017. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All submission photos have been posted and we have great news, your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. We have a couple minor suggestions to mention here. Areas to work on to enhance the overall accuracy and look of your armor. Starting at the top and working our way down the right side tear stripes could be a little thicker, especially when compared to the left. Little extra paint should do the trick. Left side looks ok Reference photo While in the area it looks like a single tube stripe is trying to escape the fold. We're suggesting get this critter back in line with the rest. Reference photo Next up it looks like your back plate is overlapping your Kidney, it should rest on top of it. A simple strapping adjustment should do the trick. Reference photo Nice work on the Ab button details, we only have one suggestion here and that is there's to be no return edge on the Ab plates, specifically the vertical button plate. The edges should trimmed similar to the reference photo provided. Reference photo Next up the Thermal Detonator looks a bit long. Total overall length should be roughly 7-1/4"-1/2". We've provided a reference photo with the TD component specifications to help guide you. Reference photo Not related to the armor but worth mentioning is the scope details on your blaster. There should be less brass showing. Were suggesting you darken the circled area to match the blaster body. Reference photo Centurion Suggestions: Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. From what we can see, the only item that stands out is your drop box positioning. They should be aligned with the outer most edge of the ammo belt and just below it with little to no gap. Gluing the drop box strap to the cloth belt should help keep them in place. For level three certification (if applicable): Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box. Reference photo That's it David, congratulations on a great build . We hope to see you next year at Centurion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
