shashachu[TK] Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Well done, Zac! Super clean build. I think you *might* be asked to supply a picture of the inside of your right thigh ammo pack rivet. Also, the elastic holding your shoulder straps looks wide; most common is 1/8". This is only a requirement for Centurion and it's not actually specified in the CRL so I think it might be one of those things that is for accuracy only. Finally, when I applied for EIB/Centurion, I was asked to paint over some of the brass weathering on the scope on my Hyperfirm so you might be asked to do the same. See you at Centurion soon. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sha Sha! I appreciate the input. At least if I do have to change out the elastic for Centurion, it's a simple fix. And just for the record, what kind of paint did you use for your repaint of the scope? Just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some random black spray paint I had at home; I just very lightly went over the scope area. If you look at the pics in my EIB vs Centurion application, you'll see the difference: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43133-tk-19233-requesting-anh-stunt-eib-status-wtf-766/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/43656-tk-19233-requesting-anh-stunt-centurion-status-wtf-367/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hey Zac, and thank you for your ANH-Stunt EI application. CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted, and I am very pleased to announce your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for Expert Infantry. On behalf of Tony and myself, 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. Just a few small notes on this outstanding build, brother. I noticed that your right shoulder bridge could use a bit of trimming to match the left one. This quick and easy fix will add to the look of of your armor Perfect job on the shoulder bell to shoulder bridge placement, but they could be closer to your back plate. Trimming all the return edge from the bottom of your shoulder bells will help, or maybe giving them a hot water bath to help reshape them a bit. Reference image Reference image As mentioned earlier in your thread, I would definitely hit your scope with some black spray paint. You can have some brass showing, of course, but toning it down will add to a better look, Reference image In several shots it shows your posterior plate actually riding over your kidney plate. It should actually be underneath and as level as possible. Great job on that double-snap set-up, (I swear by it), but I would suggest taking 10 minutes to make 2 new (tighter) nylon straps for the kidney/posterior connection. Reference image Centurion Suggestions: 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. A really quick fix is needed for your drop box, (just tighten it up a tad). The CRL states that there should be a "minimal gap between belt and box". Reference image 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtGarand[TK] Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Congrats trooper! Just a few quick fixes and you'll get the Centurion badge in no time. I actually had the same problem with my butt plate wanting to overlap the kidney plate. Having tight elastic made it worse actually. So I went to a local hardware store and bought two brackets that I glued to the inside of the butt plate to keep it from being able to move and overlap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on some of the revisions as I get time. One thing I have discovered is that the main factor making my butt plate pop out was that in these pics, I made my belt way too tight. It was squeezing my kidney plate in too much. Just by loosing the belt, I have nearly fixed the overlap situation. I will definitely look into the bracket idea, though.

SgtGarand[TK] Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 That's great to hear! And I will take mine out later and make a post in the build section for it. It definitely helped keep it in place on troops that require a lot of walking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
