Nice work, I would advise trying to bring up those thighs a little, will reduce the gap between them and you cod, also give you a little more room around the knees ;).

 

Good luck with approval

Quick Q?
Is there anything we need to do in order to get into the approval queue?
I may have missed a step!

Hang tight as there is a backlog since the festive season break and our DO's are trying to get through as fast as they can :D

G'day Alban thank you for your EIB application and your patience as we catch up, so let's have a look. 
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All the required submission photos have been posted, and your armour meets all the necessary requirements for level 2. With that Tony and myself would like to welcome you to Expert Infantry, congratulations :salute: 

 

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. If any suggestion affects any application, it will be listed separately in the above or below sections.

We can see your a stocky guy and you have done a great job to get this armour to fit. We do have some  minor things that  are simply dressing issues, so some adjustments, a mirror and an assistant will get you looking in the best shape you can.

In the below image I have highlighted the areas and will give some explanations as how things should sit and look.

I will add the reference images below your images.

 

Shoulder Bells: the tops of these should virtually, if not touch the plastic shoulder bridges. Perhaps shortening the top connecting straps will bring them in. It will also reduce the gap between the front of the bells and the chest plate

 

Fore arm position:  The forearm outer cover strip, needs to line up with the bicep center cover strip , this will bring the scalloped out section to the inner bend of the elbow or facing your fore arm. In turn the dimples on the back of the forearms will now face out instead of to the back of the arms.

 

Thigh position:  your thighs are sitting to low as mentioned by one of your fellow troopers. these can come up an inch or so and will stop the bottoms from sitting directly on top of your shins. Should also give you a bit more flexibility to bend the knee

 

Shin rotation: one last adjustment from the front, would be to rotate the sniper shin outwards so the cover strips line up with the thigh cover strip. That shin is also sitting higher and should come down to the same level as the other.

Fore arm position reference

As we move around to the back there are a 3  things that can easily be remedied so lets look at those.

Gap between Back and Kidney plate:  When looking at your internal strapping, i think we can see why you are getting the separation. Replacing those 2 narrow elastic straps with some wider elastic and also moving those outwards a little will give you the added strength and less stretch hopefully stopping the gap occurring. If you can get them sitting on top of each other, that would be perfect.

 

Butt plate popping out:  Moving the outer 2 elastic straps closer to the ends and again, using wider elastic will also reduce the amount it will pop out at the end.

 

Rear cover strip sizing:  The shin cover strips should be virtually the same width as the rear thigh cover strips. Not sure why you needed to make both of them so wide as the thighs look to fit well, but the shin strips do look way too big.

Ear screws: The top two screws look to be correct, the bottom screw is a dome head rather than the above flt blade tapered head. this one will need to be replaced.

Thermal Detonator screws:

This is one of those nice to have things that we like to see for a Centurion application.

The correct type of screws to use are flat blade pan head  variety, and they should be painted black for that ultimate look.

Centurion Suggestions:
In this section we prepare you for Centurion.  More photos are requested that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here.

 

Great work on those side shims Alban, all you need to do to get them Centurion level is to only have one seam on each side. Filling that second seam with ABS paste is the way to go about it. There are a few examples and threads here on the forums.

As stated in the CRL for level 3

For level three certification:

  • A single visible seam line is present.

Drop Box alignment:  It looks as though your drop boxes may slide around a little from some of your images. These need to sit inline with the very ends on the plastic ammo belt

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.

A small dab of glue or even adhesive Velcro will keep these from moving inwards, so they always sit in the perfect spot.
