wook1138[TK] Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Great job! You might want to bring your belt up a touch (about 5mm or so) so that it is overlapping the bottom of the button panel. Other nick-picky things are: the tube stripes on the left side seem to extend pretty far forward. I'm not sure if this will affect approval. Your back plate is over-riding your kidney plate a bit in some pictures - this is not a requirement for EIB (or even Centurion, necessarily) but just an area that might need a strapping adjustment. Trimming a little off the return edge at the bottom of your shoulder bells might bring them in a little - makes for less black space between the shoulders and chest. Nice work and good luck with approval! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work and good luck with approval! Hey thanks for the good eye and feedback! Ok I'll work on those fixes and hopefully it'll be ready to reach Centurion. Quick question on the tube stripes on the left side...I checked the CRL and it looks like as long as I have 9-16 stripes, I'll meet the Centurion requirements. Just wanted to confirm this before I start removing stripes. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to confirm this before I start removing stripes. You can certainly have up to 16 stripes as you do now, but they should not extend quite that far forward as Greg mentioned. If it were me, I would remove the ones shown below. Reference image 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DStep[TK] Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Perfect, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results! Will I need to make these changes for EIB approval?I've fixed the tube stripes already, but still need to do the belt and shoulder bells.

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 NICE JOB on those tube stripes, sir! I will have some news for you by tomorrow morning, D'Angelo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi D'Angelo, welcome and thank you for your EIB application. Let's have a look, shall we?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 on a job well done!. 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 suggestions affects any application, it will be listed below. One of the best overall builds I've seen in a while, sir. Your attention to detail is obvious, and I just have a few notes for ya' to tighten up your overall look. 1. The brow on your bucket could stand to be dropped a bit. Yes, there were higher ones on some ANH Troopers, but the vast majority had lower ones as seen blow in the reference image. Reference image 2. The bottoms of your ears could use a little trimming. Reference image 3. As mentioned in your post above, eliminating the extra tube stripes would make for a much better look. Reference image 4. Not a deal breaker by any means, but if you have some time on your hands and feel up to it, the ab button plates could be squared off and the small one reduced in size a bit, (AWESOME paint job, by the way)! Reference image 5. Not sure if you noticed, but your shoulder bells are on the wrong sides. In some kits they are interchangeable, but ATA's does have the distinctive screen accurate "swoop" at the bottoms, which should be facing forward. Reference image 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. Your right drop box needs to be moved out about half an inch to align with the outside edge of the ABS belt. A dab of CA glue or E-6000 on the back of the strap to hold it in place would make this perfect! Reference image As mentioned, a great build, brother, and I look forward to seeing your Centurion application soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
