The reason I ask is because this is a Stunt helmet, and would not be acceptable at level 2 Hero for the following reasons as stated in the CRL: http://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_hero 1. For Basic Hero approval, Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Six total teeth on the frown are cut out and the frown is tapered at the ends You have 8 teeth cut outs, (2 too many) and the ends are not tapered. Yours Reference images 2. Lenses are green bubble or smoke bubble only. Yours are the flat type. Yours Reference image 3. Ear bars have three bumps only, not four You presently have 4. Yours Reference image 4. Ears shall have two screws per side, one above the ear bar and one at the base of the helmet. It appears that you have a screw right below the ear. Yours Reference image You did a really nice job on this build, and should probably aim for ANH-Stunt instead of Hero. However, it is possible to make an Anovos helmet into a Hero helmet. My own Hero armor/bucket are Anovos, and although it took a LOT of work (and ABS paste) I transformed the bucket (seen below). If you decide to go that route, PM me and I would be more than happy to give you some help! Ah yea, thank you for reminding, that's a silly mistake when I copy the title from someone else. I'm still uploading the picture so I missed the check. Anyway, I'm applying stun, not hero. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I corrected the title of your thread to reflect Stunt, and I will remove the post I made. By the way, REALLY nice job on the ear alignment! I know that can often be an issue with Anovos buckets, did you change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digz Graavz[TK] Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Great start! I'd say your belt is sitting a bit low - It should cover the bottom of the ab buttons. Also - the cloth looks to be a really light weave (comments from the experts?) Mic tips could use some weathering and it's hard to tell if they are white on the inside or not. You're also missing a few photos, such as the sniper knee (all 3 sides) as well as the thigh ammo pack attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Nice work, you'll have to swap out those TD screws they need to be "pan heads" they have a curved edge not square like you have. You could also add a little white to the rim of the hovi tips You will also need to add a few more photos which I know the DO team like to see. Close up front and sides of your sniper plate Close up outside and inside of thigh ammo strip rivets. D ring on blaster Lower ear screws Good luck with approval.

Riva[TK] Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks for all above comment, I'll supplement some photo next week. For the hovi tip, no I didn't paint the white inside, if have to, I guess I need to take it apart again first, it's currently glued. And the TD screw, this is the closest one I can find in China, the edge has a very slightly rounded, it's not sharp, but not as rounded as the movie prop. This kind of supplies are quite different from country to country, isn't it? If necessary, I think I can sand the edge a little and repaint it back to black.

TheSwede[TK] Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hi Riva and thank you for your EIB application - we always like to see Troopers go the extra mile As mentioned we need a few additional photos before we can proceed: # Sniper knee -front/left/right. # Thigh ammo pack fixings- inside/outside. # Blaster D-ring. As for the cut you did on the ab/cod it´s fine for EIB/Centurion and the TD screws you have are good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real one might although I have only seen them with no split, I guess there´s different versions. That don´t matter much though as the E-11s used in the movie did not have the split and that´s what we look for. With that said there´s not a whole lot of reference showing the D-ring so maybe there were blasters having a split like that. I also want to make a note that when looking for reference one should always look at the Movie and what´s used there and not the real life items. To conclude, as there´s no definitive right or wrong here we will not request the change but leave it as a suggestion for higher screen accuracy as the existing reference indicate a no-split D ring.

TheSwede[TK] Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi again Riva and thank you for your EIB application! In this review I will ensure that your armor follows the requirements set out in the CRL L2 Expert Infantry Badge and also point out what I can to prepare you for Centurion, should you choose to apply. I hope you do! Let´s get started shall we! 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 myself and the entire D.O.Team, 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. As we navigate through this review we are going to start with the helmet and work our way down. We start off small by suggesting a little nudge to the middle of the brow trim to level it out. You did really great in making your Anovos helmet mimic the screen used ones and although you did replace the mesh we suggest that you change it out one more time, the originals had a square/rectangular shape whereas yours are more of a diamond shape. We also suggest painting the insides and the rims of the mic tips white for that uber ANH look. Looking at the arms the cover strips idealy lines up bicep to forearm so here we suggest some readjustment to get them in check. Looking at the holster, and even though there are examples of black straps, the majority of the holsters had more of a tan color so we just included this for your consideration. Here the posterior plate appears to be riding up over the kidney so you might want look into the strapping and tighten it up. Looking at the thighs we suggest you even out the amount of black showing by lowering the left thigh and also rotate the right sligtly inwards. You have a great looking blaster and we just have a two things to mention. First, the grip were plastic so it shouldn´t have any weathering, could be a reflection though. Second is the scope and perhaps a bit too much brass showing when compared to screen used ones. Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future 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. Below you will find areas that will need to be adressed for a future succesfull Centurion Application. Here we go! The CRL states there should be minimal gap between the shoulder armor and chest/back plate. Looking at your gaps we want you to get them as close to that blue line as possible. Suggested ways to achieve this would be shorten the strapping and/or to trim more of the lower return egde of the bells. Looking at your posture, keeping your shoulders and arms in a more neutral position will also help in closing the gap. Dropping down to the belt, as per CRL is should sit at or just below both of the button panels so we need you to raise it roughly to were the blue line is. Continuing on with the cloth portion of the belt, as seen in these pics it´s a bit soft and therefore crease so you will need to replace it for Centurion. We are sure you`re aware that flexible handguards without visible strapping is a must for Centurion so we mention this as a "just in case". Moving on to the back plate we see some cut-outs that we feel should be hidden more and although not mentioned in the text but as seen in the reference images the back and kidney should be somewhat in line. We see you have straps connecting the back to the chest and that pulls the back closer to your body and actually highlights those cuts and especially from the from the sides it´s not looking right. Those straps are most likely causing the issue so we suggest removing them and also look into shorten the straps between the back and kidney. We also suggest you fill in those cuts for a cleaner look but sorting out the strapping might be enough to hide them. We understand wanting to protect ones property but we need you to remove this writing for Centurion, you can always add that back after your approval seeing as the way you troop is up to the Trooper. The last thing on your road to Centurion is to reduce the size of the thighs. We want you to look your best and a requirement for all 501st costumes is that they are proportional to the wearer in scale, fit and size. There we have it! Again congratulations on beeing an Expert Infantry Man and we hope to see you back for a Centurion submission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
