gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 You will need to post separate photos into the thread,. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menschie[TK] Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hey man, a really good solution for posting photos is: Use Google Photos for free Make sure the photos you upload are all 1280x960 (emailing them to myself, on my Mac, with the "large" setting defaults to that resolution) Create a link for each photo that you can use in forums at https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/ Just literally place the link straight into the forum post. It'll parse it on the fly and embed the photo It's a tiny bit of work, but well worth it. You'll have great EIB submission thread with all your photos hosted. I know there are other solutions, but this is a solid one. Hope it helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Hi Dave, Looking great! Just a couple of little bits that could take your kit to the next level. You could consider extending the frown paint beyond the 5th, undrilled hole; And, whilst it’s not technically inaccurate (as ANH kits had gaps all over the place), you could possibly put a little spare ABS behind the gaps on your thigh joins. (I did the same on mine - just neatens it up a little) Good luck with approval. Best wishes Dan Edited June 2, 2018 by CableGuy Thought this was pre-approval thread... doh!!

ukswrath[Staff] Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hey Dave, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's take a look. CRL and EIB Application Requirements:All required photos have been posted. Your armor displays all necessary elements as set forth in the level 2 CRL. Joseph and I would like to congratulate and welcome you to EI trooper. 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 have a few areas to discuss so let's get started. As we go through these keep in mind the accuracy of your armor is ultimately up to you. 1. Starting with the helmet, not sure if it's just a photo issue however, the tear stripes appear to be thin and short compared to those seen in the reference photo provided. The frown should extend to the end of the mouth as seen in the reference photo provided, and lastly the tip screens should be metallic in color, again, as seen in the reference photo provided. Tears Frown Tip screens Reference photos Tears Frown Tip screens 2. As we move down, the shoulder bells should be almost touching your chest and back plates. Yours are looking pretty good yet if you remove more of the lower bell return edge this should draw them in even closer. Reference photo 3. Next up there should be minimal gap between the back and kidney plates. Tightening up the connecting should draw the two plates closer. Reference photo 5. We would like to see the Ab buttons cleaned up a bit. The edges are a bit rough. Reference photo 6. The upper waist belt ammo box should reside at or just below the lower Ab buttons. We're suggesting you adjust he belt placement. Reference photo 7. The cloth belt appears to be very thin and flimsy. So much your holster mounting hardware is ripping through it. We suggest you replace the belt with something stronger and a bit more rigid as seen in the provided reference photos below. *For the record if you choose to shoot for Centurion, at minimum we'll require you fix the mounting hardware tearing through the belt. Reference photos 8. Posterior should reside under the kidney plate. Tightening the strapping should resolve this. Reference photo 9. We know it's difficult t get the two sides together during assembly however, there shouldn't be a gap here. Were suggesting you fill the gap with ABS paste or at minimum place a piece of scrap material behind to conceal it. Reference photo 10. This goes for the rear as well, either conceal the gap or trim the return edge as seen in the reference photos. This next issue could just be a bad photo angle but it appears your cover strip is off center and angled inward on the right thigh (rear). It's off center compared to the left thigh. It looks as if the armor inner section was trimmed incorrectly. If this is the case there may not be much you can do at this point except replace the thigh however, if this this is a simple photo angle issue please disregard. Gap Cover strip angle Reference photos No lower gap and vertical cover strip Trimmed rear return edge option 11. Boots need to be touched up a bit, some areas are missing paint. Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you the best we can for Centurion. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. The left Ab to kidney gap is borderline acceptable. At EIB it is considered acceptable however, at Centurion there should be almost no gap at all. Tightening the connections in this area should resolve the issue. The CRL states: Level three certification (if applicable): Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Reference photo The waist belt drop boxes are to be aligned with the outer edge on your ammo belt. We suggest gluing the drop box strapping to the cloth belt to help maintain alignment. The CRL states: 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. Great job. Congratulations once again and hope to see you at Centurion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
