CableGuy[Admin] Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi Mark, Looking good overall, Trooper. To allow us to move forward with your application, we would have to ask for a couple of accuracy upgrades required by the L2 specifications of the CRL. The mesh on the Anovos Hovi tips is too fine. These would have to be swapped out for something more accurate, with white innards, for L2; Level two certification (if applicable): -Correct 'Hovi mic' aerator tips. Thermal Detonator Screws need to be swapped out for L2. Level two certification (if applicable): Clips shall be attached with slotted, pan head style screws, and be black (two per clip). We would also kindly request photos of your thigh ammo pack, inside and out, please. Hopefully some quick fixes to get us ready for your application review. Many thanks in advance.

Hutt-trooper[TK] Posted November 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks Dan. I did wonder if the 'old' Anovos hovi tip mesh would get through, and I had thought I'd used flat enough pan head screws (guess I bought the wrong ones!). I'll work on those and get some updated pics loaded, along with pics showing the thigh ammo pack. Thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutt-trooper[TK] Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi Dan Here are the 3 items requested: - Correct mesh for the 'Hovi mic' aerator tips (purchased from ukswrath), plus interiors painted white - Correct pan head style screws for TD clip - photos of thigh ammo pack inside and out Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy[Admin] Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hi Mark, Thanks for the additional photos. The light on the TD screws makes them a little hard to see clearly. With a bit of zooming, they possibly look cross-head rather than slotted. Could we ask for a clear picture of them, please? Thanks in advance.

Hutt-trooper[TK] Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) That's really wierd. That photo does make it look like its cross-head - it must be the light as they are definitely all slotted. (edit: looking at this some more I wonder if I accidentally uploaded an old photo of my very first screws? I cant understand how else that photo looked the way it did) Anyway - here's a better picture. Thanks Edited January 10, 2019 by Hutt-trooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGuy[Admin] Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi Mark, Welcome and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements:All required photos have been posted. Your armour displays all necessary elements required by the level 2 CRL. On behalf of myself and the D.O. Staff, we would like to congratulate and welcome you to Expert Infantry, 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 section below. Firstly, that you for swapping out those Hovi-Tips (not pictured below). They look a lot better now. There are a couple of common areas that we discuss with the Anovos lid. Let's go through them; 1. Tube stripes - based on screen used examples, these would usually be approx a pencil width away from the cheek. You could consider removing the pre-installed Anovos ones and re-paint them a little closer to the cheeks. 2. Vocoder - as marked below, the current vocoder paint is a little undefined. You could consider defining the shape a little more, specifically the 2nd and 5th vertical bars. 3. Frown paint - whilst every screen used frown was slightly different, the majority of the frowns ended in more of a point. We would suggest extending the frown paint beyond the un-driller 5th hole to finish the frown off. Reference Frown paint examples; In an ideal world, the angle of the ears will roughly line up with the rear part of the trapezoid. If it will not damage your helmet, this could be a consideration. Reference: And, although it's not possible to tell exactly from the picture, it looks like the area in the blue circle might be showing a gap between the face and the back cap. If this is the case, then moving the ear might be good for this reason, also. Moving down to your main armour, overall your armour looks great and fits you well. If we were to make some dressing suggestions, it would be as marked below. Your left shoulder (pictured right) looks like it could come in closer to the chest. Shortening the shoulder elastic and possibly reducing the lower return edge of the bell (if required) could help to achieve this. Your right arm appears to be sitting higher than your left. This is mostly evident with the uneven gaps at your wrists. We would suggest lowering your right arm to match the left. To give you a little more room at the knees, (good for mobility and appearance), you could consider raising the thighs and a little and possibly lowering the shins a tad. They look to be sitting quite high on the boots in a couple of photos. Reference: Your back plate appears to be overlapping the kidney in a few photos. Ideally, there should be no overlap on these armour parts, so a simple strapping adjustment might help this. Reference: Another tiny dressing adjustment would be to raise your belt a little, so that the plastic belt is just below the lowest painted buttons. Reference: Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. 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. The ear screws on Anovos helmets can sometimes be of the incorrect type. Although we can't be sure of the upper screws from the photos, the lower ones certainly need to be replaced if you head for Centurion. Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white. We can't help but notice the filled in holes on your belt. If you choose to move on to Centurion, (which we highly recommend), we would ask that you replace the canvas belt for a cleaner look. Reference; Level 3 requires flexible hand guards. Whilst you are looking at the options for the hand guards, we would also suggest looking at replacement gloves due to the quite heavy texture on your current pair (although this could just be the photo). Flexible hand guards required - Hand guards shall be latex or latex-like, solid white or painted white, and affixed to rubber gloves with no visible strapping or stitching. Blaster - For level 3, I'm afraid a more accurate blaster would be required. Hasbro and Rubies blasters are not allowed, even conversions. Check out the various blasters seen in other EIB and Centurion apps for a good selection of sources. That's it. Welcome to Expert Infantry, Mark Good job, trooper!! NB - don't forget to Request your EIB certificate here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutt-trooper[TK] Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks everybody and thanks Dan for all the effort you have put in to reviewing my application and for the very detailed feedback. I really appreciate that this is a big time commitment for you (and the rest of the team doing the approvals process for us all) and I want you to know how much you’re valued! It’s great to have this next level of approval - now back to reviewing the feedback about requirements for Centurion... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
