justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Nice work, Paul! One of us will be with you shortly, but before proceeding can you post up detail shots of your left side detail (arms raised) and right side detail (arms raised) as these are required. Thanks!!

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi Paul , thank you for your patience for your 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 the D.O. Staff, 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. Always great to see another Trooper join the ranks of EI here in the FLG, Paul! Just a few suggestions to make your armor look even better, sir. 1. The paint job overall (especially the vocoder) is really nice. The only areas I can see that could use some attention are the traps above the ears, where the paint should extend all the way to the edges of the indentation. Reference image 2. The paint on your tube stripes could really stand to be re-done. The number of stripes is good, but the edges are not as clean and crisp as they should be. 3. Not a deal breaker, but your ears could stand to be moved back a bit. Note in the reference image that the top ear screw sits just below the back of the trap/brow trim and the other two follow the angle of the rear of the trap. 4. You have a definite gap between your wrists and hand guards. I would drop your biceps (especially the left one) a bit and drop the forearms down an inch or so, which would really give you a much better overall look. Reference image 5. For a more screen accurate appearance, your ABS belt could come up about 3/4 inch to cover the bottom of the ab-button plates. Reference image 6. Nice trim job on your large ab button plate, but the smaller one could use some Dremel love. Note squared corners. Reference image 7. Your posterior plate looks great, but it seems that the left side wants to ride out and up for some reason. I would check the strapping to see if both sides are the same. Reference image 8. Your canvas belt could use a haircut. There may have been some that were a bit frayed towards the end of filming ANH, but not quite this much, lol. 2 minutes with a sharp pair of scissors would make a world of difference! 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. 1. As per the CRL for level 3 (which I hope you will be aiming for) the back plate "...Shall have no or minimal overlap of the kidney". A strapping adjustment should take care of this. Reference image 2. The CRL states that the shoulder straps need to be "...held down in the back via a white elastic band ...". You probably have them already, but unfortunately they are not apparent in the photos. Reference image 3. The outside edge of your drop boxes will need to be aligned with the end of the ABS belt. This is a super easy fix... just move them into the correct position and add some E-6000 (or even CA glue) to the inside of the strap on the back. Reference image Great job overall, Paul, now get out there and make the TBS, FLG and Empire proud as the newest EI! Hope to see your Centurion submission soon..
