Tony and Andrew have a bit of a backlog to work through right now, so please be patient! You'll get a heads up of sorts once they get to your application.

Hi Alessio and once again sorry for the delay.

We are going to ask you to fix something before we complete your review.

The vocoder on your helmet is really lacking any shape or detail, and really should have a defined edge rather than a blurred or smudged one.

There are a couple of ways you can fix this, but the most common is to use a toothpick and dip it into mineral turpentine and scratch away at the edge to create a cleaner edging.

I think though, you may benefit from cleaning off the area completely, and re painting using a brush with a rounded end. This will make it much easier to get that typical shape we see on the Storm trooper Vocoder.

E-11 Blaster (promo)
  • Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.

 

OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable):
  • Folding stock (does not need to function).
  • No ammo counter shall be present.
  • Correct style scope.
  • No power cylinders on the magazine housing.
  • Scratch-built or cast blasters shall have a total of 6 T-tracks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the magazine housing side uncovered).
  • If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side.
    • This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place.
  • Two greeblies on the left rear area.
  • Three studs on the right rear area.
  • Add two scope block greeblies.
  • Remove front bayonet muzzle disk.
  • Remove magazine housing parts.
  • Remove D-Ring mount.
  • Swoosh trim on right side above the pistol grip.

Hey Alessio, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's take a look. 
CRL and EIB Application Requirements:
All the required submission photos have been posted., your armour displays all necessary element as set out in the level 2 CRL, 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.

Smart looking build Alessio, we dont see many ESB troopers come through the ranks, good to see.
We only have a few minor tweaks or touch ups to recommend which will get you looking the best you can so lets go through those
 
Just a small gap between the tops of your shoulder bells and the plastic shoulder bridges. Shorten those elastic straps that connect the two at the top and they will sit perfectly.

  Another suggestion we have is to raise the plastic ammo belt up so it sits just on or slightly over the bottom of the lowest Ab button.

The black boarders of the ear rank bumps are quite a bit thicker than the boarders on your tears and traps. If you can thin those down again this will look perfect.
One last thing to note is the Tube stripes. These should be parallel to the cheeks where yours are running on slight angles. If these are easy enough to remove and reapply, they should sit approximately a pencil width from the cheeks.

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. A this time due to the corrections you have made we have nothing to add, but it would be great if you attend to the boarders as mentioned on the ear bumps.

 

Great job on your build :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:
