CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wow - great job, Peter!! Just a little thing that might get flagged - those drop boxes aren’t quite lined up in all of the photos. They should be aligned with the outer edge of the plastic belt. If they move around, a little stitch or glue could be used to keep them aligned. Oh, and the thermal detonator screws could do with a coat of black paint. :-) Amazing armour. Best of luck with EIB.

I see the issue, I think that is the left leg armor edge that is pushing the dropbox out of alignment,even if I this somehow disappears when the armor is on the mannequin as it is right now. How should I arrange this stitch/glue mod? Dropbox to belt or dropbox to leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 How should I arrange this stitch/glue mod? Dropbox to belt or dropbox to leg? Assuming your drop boxes are held to the main belt with a strip/loop of elastic, just a little blob of glue (I used E6000) or a small stitch holding the drop box elastic to the canvas belt. Just stops it moving out of place. I’ll PM you an example - don’t want to muddy your application with pictures of other kits.

Shanester[TK] Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nice job of gathering the required photos. As someone has mentioned, I'd paint those detonator screws. Otherwise, this is a fine set of armor. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi, Peter, and thank you for your EIB application. Let's take a look, shall we?CRL and EIB Application Requirements:It appears all the required submission photos have been posted. Your armor displays all the required components for L2. On behalf of the FISD, Tony and I would like to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry! I feel compelled to mention that blaster, brother... In a word, WOW! Your attention to detail is absolutely astounding, (and I'm envious as heck)!! 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. Overall a fantastic looking set of RS armor, brother. I noticed that your back and chest plate return edges are pretty thick. This will not affect level 3, but if it makes you more comfortable they can certainly be trimmed down. Reference image Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. If there were any areas of concern they would be discussed here. I certainly hope we will be seeing your Centurion application soon, but before that I would ask that you make sure the outer edges of your drop boxes align with the outside edges of the ABS belt. If they are being help on with a loop of elastic, you can use a bit of glue on the back of the loop to keep it in the correct position. Reference image Lastly, if you could bring your forearms up just a bit that would be great. A small gap is fine, but just tighten up the elastic (which appears to be a bit loose on the right connection anyway) and you will be golden! Reference image Just a couple small items, Peter, which I am sure you can complete in no time. Looking forward to seeing you at Centurion level next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithThundercracker[TK] Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thank you very much... I really appreciate, brothers. And tonight I start working on those fixes for L3! Thanks for the blaster mention but everything I put on it I learned lurking on the E-11 section of FISD boards, so thanks to all those passionate brothers! I'm gonna share my built there soon.
