gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Nice work just a couple of things I would address to make you look the part: I would try to adjust the position of the elastic on the shoulder bells, bring the attachment for the elastic further forward so it rotates the should bells around as you have a big gap there in the front. Also have a look at the gaps between your armor, on your arms there is a lot of gap at the wrists but not much on your elbows. also one thigh is higher than the other. It appears you have the wrong screws on your TD, they should be pan heads not dome. You should really touch up the paint on your ab buttons also Good luck with approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi Santiago,Thank you for your application. To allow us to proceed, we would kindly ask that the thermal detonator screws are swapped for pan head, slotted screws painted black, as per the L2 CRL. Type A below;Thank you in advance, Trooper.

CableGuy[Admin] Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi Santiago, When you’re ready with your updated thermal detonator screws, could you also post up clear pictures showing your thigh ammo pack fixings, inside and out, please. Thank you, Trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Santiago, and thank you for your EI submission! 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 myself and 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. Let's start from the top and work our way down. Overall, your lid is very well presented. For that extra pinch of ANH magic, we have suggested a few improvements. Firstly, your brow appears a little wonky in a couple of pictures, and in the below picture it dips down in the middle. As this is a stunt build, the majority of screen used stunt troopers had a clearly visible gap between the top of the eyes and the brow. Raising this, and possible securing it in place to stop it moving, would be advisable. Also highlighted here are the corners of your frown paint and the vocoder. As per the below reference photos, many Stunt TKs had the frown painted beyond the un-drilled 5th tooth/hole. Also, the 2nd and 6th bars of the vocoder usually extend a little higher. Reference; As below, it looks like your shoulder bridges are currently a little thick. Quite a bit of that excess could come off for a cleaner appearance. Reference; Moving down a little further, your shoulder bells are currently twisted very far round towards the back. These should be rotated are far forward as possible to get a neater look. Also highlighted here is the alignment of your limbs. With some adjustment to your strapping, you should be able to line up the cover strips a lot closer on the area and legs. Reference As below, your forearms are twisted quite a long way round. As per the reference photo of Luke below, the detailing on the side should run right the way from the top of the shoulder bells, through the biceps and right down the forearm. Reference; It looks like you might have quite a lot of excess plastic around the marked part of the chest armour. You could consider trimming this down a little. (We'll cover the drop boxes a little further down the review). Chest reference; Below, we've highlighted the alignment of arms, as we covered previously from the front photo.. In this picture, your belt appears to have dropped on the left hand side. This could be the weight of the holster and it probably an easy adjustment. As per the red markings on the photo below, the cover strips on the calves should not extend past the ridge. Reference; Thank you for upgrading the thermal detonator screws and moving the clips close to the end caps. Those are much better. Whilst it might not be possible with the existing claims/brackets, the screws would ideally be nearer to the ends of the clips. Moving on to your blaster, there are quite a few areas that are a little over-weathered. All of the areas marked below were made from plastic parts on the originals blasters - as such, they would not have the metallic weathering. We would suggest that these are painted black. t-track reference; Also, your Hengstler counter is quite a long way back. Moving this forward an inch or so would give a better appearance. 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. For level 3, "Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor." Your right hand side is looking great, and the left is only a small gap. A slight adjustment to your strapping might bring that in a little. Also, drop boxes must align with the outer part of the plastic ammo belt. We can see that your drop boxes have gone a little rogue. Those drop boxes would need to line up for L3. Reference: Ref - ab to kidney gap Well, that's it for now. Welcome to Expert Infantry - congratulations, Trooper. Oh, and one more thing - can we please request an 'action shot' (you kitted up holding your blaster) for our records? Many thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
