wook1138[TK] Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Looking good! You might want to remove the white paint from the rivet and snaps that connect the posterior plate to the cod. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shashachu[TK] Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi Fernando, thanks for your submission! I'll be working on your application. Your fellow troopers have already made some good suggestions. Could you also post the following additional photos just so I can see some of the details better? * Close-up of the thigh ammo pack rivet (inside and out) * Clear side view of the sniper knee * Close-up of the thermal detonator screws * Close-up of boots * Close-up of belt/holster attachment Thanks!

TK-40996[TK] Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Clean build !! Always nice to see a well build rs kit ! The paint must be removed of the snaps and fixings on your codpiece and butplate . if it’s possible I recommend you to maybe lower your forearm pieces there is a lot of glove showing and I think it may pinch some skin sometime Good-luck on your EIB application !

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Looks like you’ll need to change out those TD screws, the ones you have are dome head, should be pan heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shashachu[TK] Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi Fernando, Thanks for the extra photos. Unfortunately as @gmrhodes13 pointed out, your TD screws will need to be replaced. Yours are close, but note in the reference photo that he posted above, the top of the screw is flattened, not rounded like yours. I believe that @justjoseph63 has TD screws available, but if you need help locating some, let me know OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Clips shall be attached with slotted, pan head style screws, and be black (two per clip). Since you will be replacing the screws, if it is possible to slightly reposition the clip to get rid of this gap between the clip and the TD end cap at the same time, that'd be a nice touch. Thermal detonator belt clips are positioned with little to no gap between the clips and the end caps. Finally, could you please add photos of your left side ab/kidney connection (with no belt - you don't have to wear the armor) so that I can see the rivets? Sorry I missed that the first time. Thanks for your patience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed that the first time. Regarding the TD screws I'm trying to look for them locally as I suppose it will be faster. In any case any help would be welcome. I think DIN 85 / ISO 1580 M3 black screws would be correct, but I have a doubt, they must be metallic or they could be nylon?

Chips[TK] Posted January 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I finally solved the problem with metallic screws and fixed the gap between the clips and end caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shashachu[TK] Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Fantastic! I was just about to reply that we don't recommend nylon screws for durability reasons, but that if they were painted black and looked correct, that would be fine since the CRL does not specify that they have to be metal. Thanks again for the updated photos - I'll be with you soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shashachu[TK] Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi Fernando, thank you for your EI submission, and thanks for the quick fix for the TD screws. 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 ANH Stunt Expert Infantry. On behalf of the entire 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. Starting with the helmet, just a few nitpicks to really improve the look. As was mentioned by your fellow troopers, the brow is a bit low. While the screen-used helmet brow position was a bit all over the place, the Stunt helmets tended to have a bit more white showing above the eyes. Next, there's quite a bit of white showing at the tops of your teeth, so you might consider extending the gray paint. Finally, it might just be the photo, but your left side tube stripes appear to be a bit lower than the right. Both sets should be about a pencil width away from the cheek. Reference Image: Continuing on the helmet, the paint on the traps seems a bit small, so you might consider extending it more to the edges of the plastic. Reference Image: Additionally, the Stunt helmets generally had the ears positioned a bit more slanted than you have yours, following the edge of the trap, while yours are positioned more vertically: Reference Image: This is certainly one of the more difficult corrections to make. Continuing down, as others have pointed out, your forearms appear to be a bit high: As you can see, there is little/no gap between your bicep and forearm, and a significant gap at the wrists. Sliding the forearms down if possible would improve the look as well as improve your mobility. Additionally, it's probably just a dressing/photo issue, but your left forearm looks a bit large in this photo. Finally, just to get a clean look, it's nice to align the coverstrips vertically: Reference Image: As others mentioned, it improves the look of your armor to have the tops of the ab and kidney aligned. It is likely just a dressing issue: Reference Image: I also wanted to point out that the tops of your thighs are touching and even slightly overlapping the cod/butt in some places: There's such a significant gap at the knees, that I'm wondering if slightly dropping your thighs might fix it. This should also improve your mobility and prevent painful pinches. Reference Image: Very nice painting job on the ab buttons. This is a very small detail, but if you like, you could adjust the paint so that it does not reach the edge of the buttons: Reference Image: Moving along, as has been pointed out, we suggest that you remove the white paint from the cod and posterior snaps: Reference Image (sorry it's so small): Finally reaching the lower limbs, this is likely another dressing issue, but your calf coverstrips are a bit misaligned, especially the right one. Reference Image: Centurion Suggestions:In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos are 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 CRL states: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates. Your shoulder bells show a gap at the top. It should be a simple strapping adjustment to bring them into place. Reference Image: For the left side ab/kidney rivets, the CRL says: Rivets are equally spaced along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. It could just be the photo, but I would double check how far the ab rivets are from the edge of the ab plate; they look to be a bit far. Reference Image: Moving the rivets would involve filling the holes with ABS paste, but I have the utmost confidence in you and your armor building skills. And that's it! Congrats again from all of us! Now get out there and make The Empire proud! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
